Starting with the English/Denmon/Bowers class, I went back and attempted to log every scholarship player semi-chronologically that saw time for Mizzou. I'm guessing i'll miss a few (there's been a ton), and some more that never actually played (e.g. Martavian Payne, CJ Roberts, Zach Price etc.). I've designated it by year, and those are their first year in the program where they saw the court. Either way, the trend is pretty clear.
Key:
Underline: Graduated/eligibility expired at Mizzou
Bold + Underline: 4 year graduate at Mizzou
Italics: Transfer/suspension/defection/Pro
Bold: Current Player

By my count:
New Classes: 11
New Players: 54
4 Year Mizzou Grads: 5
Other Grads: 12
Pro Defections: 4
Other Defections: 22
Current Players: 11 (1 injured)
This is the "core problem" that must be remedied. It's not just about (laughably) having one four year graduate, it's about players transferring out after 1-2 years. It's impossible to maintain continuity, year to year with new freshmen/sophomores playing with new upperclass transfers.
