2014


It seems that in years past, we have been landing roughly 50%. This year is 0%. So what's the difference with this year? Move to the SEC? Losing record? Coaching uncertainty?

As for the HS coaches, the thing I noticed is that Rockhurst hasn't sent a kid to Mizzou over that span. Conversely, they've sent a number to Nebraska. Blue Springs has been about the same expect replace Nebraska with kU. On the other side of the state, schools like CBC and DeSmet are sending them all over the place, not just one particular school. We haven't landed a large percentage of kids from Lees Summit or Lees Summit West(1 from each I believe). So either relationships with the coaches is meaningless (because Boehm obviously loves Mizzou but it's not helping land his players) or there is not a close feeling between the coaches and Mizzou and the kids are going elsewhere.
