5-7 and the switch to SEC has an impact. Kids are wondering if Pinkel can compete.

Peavey's family are all Arkansas alums
Bonner's uncle played at ND

But while the instate recruiting is the worst it's been in at least 10yrs, Missouri's recruitment rankings are still better than it's neighbors, kU, KSU, Illini, even Nebraska.

Winning cures all. If this team can move ahead and show last year was a speed bump and not a crater, that will gain more better recruits.

GP does a good job of pulling out diamonds in the rough, and seems to be working that angle, while the 5stars are ignoring.

btw- the kool-aid tastes great!

Pass the kool aid. But can he make diamonds out of a dozen of their commits in this class? I'd feel better if there were a handful of highly touted players where he only needed to find 1 or 2 diamonds in the rough each year.

Agree though, that winning cures all....hopefully.

Nebraska at 50 is surprising. I didn't realize they were that low.

When they play those teams on the field, that may be a relevant point.

Kentucky's has usually been better then a lot in the country.

But when you're last in the SEC in recruiting, you're last in the SEC in recruiting.
