Well, "the system" definitely does work. Not sure how many of you guys remember the MANY years predating HCGP when being a Mizzou football fan didn't offer too many opportunities to leave a game with a smile -- but the staff has consistently recruited and developed talent very well.
Many fans just look at recruiting rankings and, while on field success has allowed easier access to higher ranked athletes, why would we want the staff to stop finding future stars that other teams overlook?
As you say, I think more fans are recognizing this, but it's difficult since the entire college football world puts so much emphasis on rankings. Just as there are still some fans who don't think the move to the SEC was the BEST MOVE EVER AND WHO EVEN CARES ANYMORE ABOUT GAMES WITH THAT OTHER KU!!!, there is another larger group of fans who still rely more on ntl ranking services to evaluate Mizzou's classes, when on the field success is really the ultimate evaluation factor.
