Maybe...

Abbington is coming in pretty late and Steward still has to be viewed as question mark until he does it.

I'd love to have both ready though. It turns that area into a strength.

I'm not saying they put up huge numbers. They're #2 and #3 RB's. But it can't be argued that if they're here and they're healthy, we are much much deeper.

I could see the RB group putting up numbers similar to the 2013 group. Top 3 all get 150+ touches.
All have good YPA. Mizzou has only thrown more than run 1 out of the last 6 seasons.
Will help the young WR come along, also play action will be a real weapon.

Little's HUDL

Everything calls him a middle or insider linebacker but most of his tape has him with his hand on the ground on the outside. I wonder where they plan to play him. Looks to have good size and strength already but I don't know how much of a burst or speed he showed in his tape. Thoughts?

RockM article on Little. They seem to believe he pans out at ILB and just plays where needed for his HS team.

Highlights from Little's 8th grade season lol

Seriously though, 1st play has shades of Chase Coffman.

At 1:05 too.

At 6'0" he's likely a LB for us.

Looks like a hitter! Welcome young man!

Wow, beat out Clemson and Brent Venables himself was his recruiter. That's impressive. Be interesting to see if UGA jumps in late.

His strength seems to be his ability to get off blocks and wrapping up. He has good quickness off the ball (4.6) but doesn't seem to be the hardest hitter, but more of a sure tackler.

What are our chances for him? I thought we were already eliminated. could be a surprise but i doubt it. Wisconsin is my guess. probably included us so we would talk about it.

Guessing Wisconsin as well. I've already written him off but would be happy to be surprised.

We'll see if he sticks there or not, we flipped Howard last year, we can do it again. New coach at Wisconsin and new staff, time will tell if he can repeat the magic their old coach had.

From what I've read, Taylor sees himself as a RB, but Mizzou said they think his best position is at DB. The staff has concerns about his quickness and cutting ability from what I've read. They will allow him to start out at whatever he wants, but were telling him he's best at DB. Oddly enough, Wisconsin recruited him at WR, but told him he might get some time in the backfield and such. So even they aren't convinced he's a RB.

We're not going to get Taylor and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I don't think RB or Taylor are a priority at this point. While the injuries made us look thin at RB, we really are pretty deep at the position moving forward. They may take another RB but I don't think it has to be Taylor or bust.

Is Tony Temple the last player we have signed from Rockhurst? I know his brother signed but never made it to Missouri.

3 star GA LB Donta Evans will make his decision between us, auburn, ole miss, Kentucky and Louisville at 11 CST.

My guess is ole miss since he visited there last and doesn't seem to have visited us at all.
