Something not being taken into consideration.
Missouri has better HS athletes and 2 major cities that are finally catching the youth football bug. Its a highly underrated recruiting area right now, and it's going to greatly improve.
Kids are growing up with a decent Mizzou program now, instead of a terrible one, will also make a difference.
If this is true, do Mizzou fans think they have more potential than Arkansas? I mean DGB speaks for itself, so they might be on to something. Do y'all recruit in the midwest and Ohio at all? What about Chicago? Can y'all be the gateway to the SEC for midwest kids, or do they just not like y'all? Arkansas has shown potential, but even when they seem to be really good, it is clear that there are other teams out there that are simply just better. I don't know if they will ever beat Saban at Alabama.

Problem is that the midwest kids suck compared to kids from states like Texas, LA, MS, GA, FL, AL, etc. That's why schools like Notre Dame, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio St usually lose when they play SEC schools. I know the Big Ten have success in bowls like the Outback Bowl, etc. But the Major BCS games their best get smoked by the SEC's best.

I think it hinges on what MU does the next couple years. If they don't get on solid footing, then all bets are off.. won't matter that we're SEC if we're at the bottom.
This year Illinois has a very solid class of h.s seniors. Will be interesting to see how well we pull kids out of there. We do recruit Ohio, Pinkel is an Ohio guy and coached at Toledo. We've always had a little presence in that area. But obviously tons of competition in that state. I think we'll make strides in states like Iowa, almost had a big recruit from there in our '13 class.
Overall I see Mu and Ark having similar ceilings.. hard to predict how things play out though.
