Will Mizzou recruiting benefit or hurt from Sam announcement?

If a 5 star HS recruit is gay, why not go to a place where you will be accepted openly and not have to hide in the closet?

Could there be some recruits- or parents- that discourage a recruit from considering Mizzou bc of this?

Would another coach "negatively" recruit regarding this?

I don't care if all college football players are gay. I have no idea who is or is not gay in general as I don't require people to disclose this type of info to me.

Sumlin is worried Mizzou will use this to flip recruits.

Not sure if it would hurt or help. I'm still trying to figure out why this was news to begin with. Who honestly gives a shite?

The fact that Mizzou kept it hidden until after signing day tells you what Mizzou thinks it would have done.

More courage from the heartland.

Neither.
It'll be a non-issue.

I would hope it has zero factor other than perhaps Pinkel and his coaches having demonstrated discretion and care for one of their players personal concerns.

Since we've been doing DBU and Alabama's got LBU, can we give them GU?

Practice will now look like this, obviously.

I really don't think it will matter. Mizzou is getting free national publicity right now though so I guess that will help them in some way.

Mizzu's recruiting is pretty shitty, it can only get better. At this point they are fighting to outrecruit Bret Bielema.

Wanna know a secret? If he's a legit 5 star, it doesn't matter who he loves, he'll be accepted as long as he plays well.

At Bama at least, that is all that needs to matter. Doesn't matter who you love or what you do, just be good at football.
