Since there is no "accurate" recruiting class grades because the grades are giving out the week after national signing day I will do an "accurate" review of the 2012 Missouri recruiting class.
Next year it will be 2013
Please feel free to jump on and destroy.
Signees per PM 19
5 star recruit - 1 DGB
4 star recruit - 1 Boehm
3 star recruit - 16
2 star recruit - 1 Brantley
4 year starters - 1 Boehm
3 year starters - 0
2 year starters - 4. Culken, Hansboro, Scherer, Mauk
2 year starters can be contested. These are the 4 in my grade.
Significant playing time on the depth chart and rotation - 15 players
Record including SECCG and bowl games - 35-11
Bowl games record- 2-0
NYE day or after bowls- 2-0
SECCG- 2
SECG wins- 0
Top 5- 1 (2013)
Top 20- 1 (2014)
The numbers tell me this is a top 20 class. And anyone who would say top 10 I would not argue with. If we go undefeated in 2013 I would say top 5.

You left Golden off, as he came in with that class.

They could be considered a top 20 class, no better than that. That teams freshman year was brutal from a schedule standpoint. They played 6 teams that finished in the top 25 (Vandy ended up being ranked) with 5 of those teams ranked in the top 10 (USCe, UF, Bama, A&M, and UGA).
Overall they were 3-12 vs teams that finished the season in the Top 25 from 2012-2015. They were 0-9 vs top 10 teams during that span as well. They were losing by an average of 19 pts. against top 25 competition and by an average of 22 pts against top 10 teams.
This class actually shows how Pinkel is great at taking advantage of the road in front of him. This is why I am so upset he was not able to translate winning seasons into better talent acquisition.
They did us proud but they were only mid tier in our conference.

You can't really count 2013 and 2014 records for this class as they were fr and soph.
I tried looking backwards from the 2013 team, arguably Pinkel's best team (they were only an Odom away from a natty)
including major contributors
QB: James Franklin (Sr.) 4 2010
RB: Henry Josey (Jr.), 3 2010
RB: Russell Hansbrough (So.) 3 2012
WR-X: Marcus Lucas (Sr.) 4 2010
WR-X: Dorial Green-Beckham (So.) 5 2012
WR-Z: L'Damian Washington (Sr.) 3 2009
WR-H: Bud Sasser (Jr.) 3 2010
WR-H: Jimmie Hunt (Jr.) 3 2010
TE: Sean Culkin (RSFr.) 3 2012
LT: Justin Britt (Sr.) 2 2010
LG: Max Copeland (Sr.) nr(walk on)
C: Evan Boehm (So.) 4 2012
RG: Connor McGovern (So.) 3 2011
RT: Mitch Morse (Jr.) 3 2010
DE: Michael Sam (Sr.) 2 2009
DT: Marvin Foster (Sr.) 2 2009
NG: Lucas Vincent (Jr.) 3 2010
DE: Kony Ealy (Jr.) 4 2010
SLB: Donovan Bonner (Sr.) 2 2012
MLB: Andrew Wilson (Sr.) 3 2009
WLB: Kentrell Brothers (So.) 3 2011
CB: E.J. Gaines (Sr.) 3 2010
CB: Randy Ponder (Sr.) 3 2009
FS: Braylon Webb (Jr.) 3 2010
SS: Matt White (Sr.) 2 2009
so you have
Total: 25
5: 1
4: 4
3: 14
2: 5
0: 1
this would have ranked us in the middle 20's
we started five 2 stars
one of the 2 stars was co sec defensive player of the year, another is in the NFL
another way to look at it is this team was mainly built off the 2010 recruiting class which is considered Missouri's best class of the Pinkel era
Missouri 2010
Total: 25
5: 0
4: 4
3: 21
rank 22
BTW the 2012 class was ranked 31. That was b4 DGB, Mauk, Copelin, Boozer, and Ka’Ra Stewart were dismissed.
