That is exactly the point that makes me scratch my head. Kentucky hasn't exactly been winning a lot games lately, nor do they have a lot of instate talent, but clearly more high school kids are excited about playing for Kentucky than for Missouri.
Missouri has been winning some important games and getting kids drafted. But, we aren't getting much traction in recruiting.
For example, Arkansas' top 10 high school recruits are all projected to play for Arkansas. While Missouri gets maybe 4 of the top 10 that we offered.
Our coaching and player development must be absolutely amazing because we have been competitive on the field.

I doubt Mizzou offers 10 instate kids this year.

We'll be fine. Coaches just aren't great salesman, but their evaluation and development is as good as it gets.

I agree with the underlying premise that the staff seems to struggle in state at times. The luxury that UK has, though, is Ohio is next door. They have 9 commits from Ohio already. There aren't 9 guys on the Illinois side or the kansas side that we'd take. UK seems to recruit the Columbus and Dayton areas pretty darn well. They're only about a 3 hour drive away.

There is no doubt in my mind that we have to get to that point. Unfortunately, there just isn't the statewide fervor for Mizzou as there is for Arkansas. Mississippi is the same way with OM and MSU.
