It is more St. Louis than the west side of the state. Boone County has been a four letter word for a lot of high school coaches in STL for over 20 years.
When I was in grade school and high school (75-82) we owned STL and ESTL. Now there was no website or cable tv or any other media device that we have now. The PHL feed Mizzou with players. There no longer is a PHL where football is concerned.
I think the thing that drives me crazy is we have no in state competition like FLA, GA, TX, and IL have to contend with but yet we struggle to close the borders. Great school and great college town and we still have to beg and borrow to get the in state player to stay home.

I didn't go back 20 years, but in the last 5, unless my math is off, MU has pulled 22 kids from STL and 19 kids from KC. The problem isn't limited to STL, it's statewide (this year at least). 35 kids in STL went to other larger D1 schools during that time, while 30 was the number in KC. That's about 40% of kids that commit to larger D1 schools choosing MU from both cities.
