Interesting move seeing as he couldn't even recruit his own son to Mizzou. (Yes, that was a joke)

Hopefully he does well, nice to see former players come back to help the program.

I'm not even sure what that position does. More of a logistics man, correct?

Believe so, I think they do preliminary scouting and like compiling of video on recruits the staff targets. Also sets up the logistical parts of the visits, like the hotels and airfare stuff.

Right. I don't think they actively recruit but do have contact with recruits who visit.

I think he'll do well.

I'll never blame a kid for wanting to leave town for college. Some people like the element of being "home", but for me personally, I could never go to school with my parents so close. If anything, being from Columbia should be considered a negative factor in recruiting.

Anyways, Ofodile has always seemed like a pretty level headed guy, especially about the protests. Hope he does well.

Almost sent Banks to Mizzou before deciding he wanted out of Columbia.
Just off the top of my head.

I don't know he was the hc for the first 2. Did forget Williams. I could only think of Logan. Thanks

Won't have a scholarship for him if we get Ross which hopefully we do.

We've been missing this

They also do a lot of coordinating and communicating with HS coaches. So if he's highly respected by his peers and has good relationships with other coaches in the state, it's a good move. It can help find guys before the blow up.
