I know everyone is down on the basketball program with its inability to get players out the Lou. They may whiff on this years class but Tate and HCKA aren't the most important persons in Columbia affecting recruiting. It's a 6'2" combo guard from the Lou by way of JUCO who has the biggest impact. Mr. Payne can open up a pipeline from the Lou to Mizzou if he's treated well. No, I'm not talking illegal benefits, I mean just treat him right and he'll sell the program more than Tate or HCKA. Everyone in the basketball community is watching Tae Tae and hiw he's treated. If he comes home singing their praise just watch what happens next.
