Jeremiah Tilmon could define the Cuonzo Martin era, one way or the other

What was the biggest Missouri basketball recruiting victory of the past 10 years?

It’s a question that doesn’t necessarily have a right answer. You could go with the obvious answer and say Michael Porter, Jr. — after all, even if he didn’t contribute much on the court, he certainly drew a lot of eyes (and some recruits) toward Columbia, MO. You could also make the argument (along with one for his brother, Jontay) that he was coming to Missouri regardless of the coach. As long as it wasn’t Kim Anderson, the Porters seemed to be in. Maybe you’d make an argument for someone more instrumental to the program’s notable successes — say Phil Pressey, or maybe even a JUCO guy like Ricardo Ratliffe.
