not sure what the need is to dis Snyder, after all he is a Missourian, and he's done next to the impossible making a 3rd rate program relevant, at least in it's conference. He is a great gameday coach, and would be an improvement over Pinkel in that regard.
The idea that nobody can recruit to Mizzou is somewhat ludicrous, just because Pinkel flags on the Montee Balls, Zeke Elliots,,, Odofiles and Hentges doens't mean everyone would. There have been 4 star and even a #1 national recruit on the last 2 Mizzou teams, it's not the big magic show some seem to think it is.
Peterson at Boise St and Petersensun, at TCU beat some very good teams with pretty much 2 and 3 stars only, so yes, other coaches could win with these players. It might be a "safe bet" the next guy wouldn't win if Alden were doing the hiring, but fortunately that won't be the case.

Where is the diss on Snyder? He is a good coach that wins with hardly any high ranked recruits. When he left, Ron Prince was not able to keep it going. In my opinion one of the reasons he couldn't keep it going is because he isn't near as good of a coach as Snyder and needed better talent on the roster if he was going to continue in KSU's winning ways under Snyder.
My point was this is what I don't want to see happen at Mizzou.
A lot of programs would like to have Pinkel as a HC. Same for Snyder. It's hard to find coaches that can do what they do ie...we need to improve recruiting for when Pinkel decides he is done at Mizzou so that we can have a better chance to continue to be a winning program.
Yes we recruit better than KSU. Much better, but we also play better competition against better athletes and have more high level teams in our own conference to compete against for said recruits.
I never said no one can recruit to Mizzou. Yes it would be ludicrous If I had said that. But top 25 recruiting classes are not the norm. At this point it doesn't bother me a lot. Because Pinkel has shown he knows what he is doing But It would be ludicrous to say even Pinkel wouldn't mind having his choice of top players.
The bottom line is winning will fix all your problems. Continue to win and every year we will find our way on to more top tier athletes top 3 list.
As for now. Enjoy the ride. This is the best Mizzou football has been since the 60's.
