There will always be some kids who want to go away from home for college. That's just the way it is. Look at it this way. Is LSU a 2nd tier school because they don't keep every top recruit from their state? Is Georgia? Is Florida? This is going to happen. Also, a lot can happen between now and NSD. I haven't given up on Ofodile just yet.

We just don't have the same margin for error as those schools do because Missouri as a state doesn't pump out as much talent. Again, doesn't mean Mizzou is going to fall off the face of the earth. We'll be fine. We just won't get over the next hump until the day comes where GP identifies 3 kids or 5 kids or whatever from the state of Missouri and can go out and get each and every one of them. Players that we simply offer and would like are different. Guys like the Davis brothers. But there are 3-6 kids each year that the staff can identify in state and push hard for and when they do, they should get them. When that happens, we will have cleared that next hump. That hurdle may be more about the perception of the program than actual wins, but in my book that is the next hurdle.
