Now that its official. I will give Gates a chance but this is Missouri so show-me

I get why people (a few) are excited due to the ESPN fluff story about how great of a recruiter he is. However the RockM piece by Snelling suggests that info came from a former High School teammate who is also a former co-worker of his.

Said friend said he doesnt rely on stars (good) when recruiting as he found a two star player that got drafted in the first round. Thats great but if he's relying on that one time to hang his recruiting hat on then we are screwed. A bunch of two star players arent competing in the SEC. No coach finds nothing but diamonds when hitting the two star market. Even for the idiots that think otherwise stars DO MATTER.
