Lot's of 3*'s on that list.
We have a habit of sending 3* players to the NFL. It's nothing new for Mizzou.
Someone else asked about the in-state talent. We don't produce as many elite players as other states but HCGP has done a decent (not great) job of keeping most of the talent home. For some reason a lot of St. Louis-area kids have gone to the Big 10 over the years. I am hoping that will change.
Also, I think Pinkel purposely looks for kids in the 3-4* range because A) we are not an elite program and B) he wants kids that will actually work hard and not take plays off because they are spoiled. Recruiting needs to step up a bit, but we are not that far away from where we should be.
The strength of our coaching staff is talent evaluation. The weakness is game-day coaching, which drives me nuts.

Looks like Aaron Curry is down to Nebraska and Iowa.

Only getting 7 out of your 20 top prospects in the last 4 years is not at all impressive.
