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.
