It doesn't surprise me as our offense doesn't really prepare Tight Ends for the NFL.
That's not as true as you think it is.
The offense is changing.
Had it not been for a ridiculous surplus of WRs last year we would have seen more traditional TE play.
Mizzou will never be elite because we can't keep our own.
Lock, Hentges, and Ofadile as a package would've been a game changer.
Instead Mizzou will do continue to try to get the best 2nd tier guys from talent rich states.

Eh, dont know. Mizzou recruits quality into these positions every year. I like the focus on OL and DE/DT's as well as S.
I think Hentges didnt want to follow into the footsteps of previous Mizzou TE's recently, cant blame him. Until the offense transforms more you can expect big NFL TE prospects to avoid Mizzou regardless of what state they live in.
Ofadile just seems to want to get out of town. He lives in CoMo and some kids just want to get away for college.
If these were big time defensive prospects or OL prospects I would be much more worried about "losing in state talent"

Pretty much this. It perpetuates the perception in state that Mizzou is a 2nd tier program. Until the top in state kids view Mizzou as a destination school, we won't quite get over the next hump. And no, I'm not saying we're going to suck. We'll continue to be competitive from time to time, but if actually winning that game in Atlanta means anything, we have got to lock down whoever it is we pursue from within our own state.
