Missouri basketball forward Jordan Barnett epitomizes the saying that good things come to those who wait.
The Tigers had Barnett, one of the top-100 high school class of 2014 players, sitting on their bench for two semesters. Barnett, a transfer from Texas, could not play during this period as a result of NCAA transfer rules.
Missouri waited to see Barnett play any basketball until after the fall 2016 semester, in December. But the wait for Barnett to play a substantive role took even longer.
Finally, good things came from Barnett in early February. The junior forward scored 17 points on Feb.
