It sounds like the Missouri men's basketball team might be without its best player this season.
Those in the know suggest the silence surrounding another transfer named Smith spoke volumes.
Evansville transfer Dru Smith might be the best college basketball player on the Tigers' roster at the moment. Not the best NBA prospect. And not the best in terms of potential as a college player. But the best college player right now. And it looks like the guard who averaged 13.7 points and 4.6 assists last season is going to have to sit this season.
Yes, a season on the bench for Dru Smith would be in accordance with the NCAA's archaic rules.
