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. 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.
Nobody locks everyone down. Nobody.
Losing a blocking TE likely won't be the difference between winning and losing

I actually looked in to this a few years back when our fans were melting down over not landing all of our instate kids.
I looked at Arkansas, LSU and Nebraksa at the time because they were all the only Big 5 BCS schools in their state with fiercly, loyal fanbases.
I think it was over like an 8 year period but they all had similar numbers. They all landed about 78% of instate kids that they offered. I think that is a fair number to expect for schools like ours that are the only game in town. No one is going to land everyone in this day and age of every game being televised but if you can land about 7-8 out of 10 then you are doing pretty solid.
