He did, and to his credit he owned that criticism. Him and the coaching staff have worked hard to turn things around and to their credit they've pulled it off.

Yes, y'all got a streak of bad teams to play and that always helps to right the ship. And you finish with two bad teams because Vandy and Arkansas are both on life support.

Sometimes the schedule gods smile on you. Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes they'll put the weenie to you so it balances out.

He does need to recruit better. Unfortunately, much like Arkansas after we quit the SWC, y'all have been effectively black balled from playing any decent teams from Texas (unless A&M rolls around on the schedule) and that has diminished your ability to recruit a major area that is close to you.

Odom is going to have to wall off Missouri from poachers and raid bordering states for talent and that is often easier said then done.

I don’t think not playing Texas teams matters much with recruits now. Every game is on tv.

Mizzou’s problem is that GP moved most of his recruiting resources away from Texas.

BO has changed that. Mizzou needs to be able to recruit Missouri, Texas, some in Georgia and the upper Midwest.
