I think Butch Jones can close top 5 classes in the conference year in year out, especially with talent of metro Nashville area surpassing metro Memphis area. If you have top 5 talent in the conference you WILL compete for conference championships.
Missouri's 2014 class has 24 recruits and zero 4*. that tells you all you need to know.

No it doesn't.

Pinkel has shown an ability to find 2 and 3 star gems. That won't change, they have a system and they adhere to it.
It works for them.
But you're right, generally, a well coached team of 4 and 5* guys will beat almost anyone.
The only question that remains is, will Butch coach those 4 and 5* guys to their abilities?

But let's be fair... Jones has much a bigger player payroll. Hmmmm??
Pinkel has relied on gleaning overlooked recruits and gotten by with it in the XII. He probably won't in the SEC. That said, if he can continue to land good quarterbacks and wide receivers, players will want to come.
Last year's stumble out the gate really killed the momentum he had built up to and through the move into the SEC.

Missouri's issue isn't quality of players. It's depth of quality. Missouri's consistently getting first rounders in the NFL draft. Injuries especially hurt Missouri. Pinkel is slowly addressing depth. It isn't necessarily about recruiting ranking as recruiting what you need. Pinkel has improved on each successive recruiting class in those terms most years. As long as he continues to do so, I will support him and the team will in the long run improve. Compared with what Mizzou was before Pinkel got here, it's night and day difference.
