Also need to recruit more NFL caliber players.
well that should be easy.
I dont have any faith that WiBO is going to bring Mizzou into the consistent top 20-15 type recruiting classes. This goes back to my opinion that under Pinkel the team schemed the way they did to compensate for the overall talent gap.

Right. We way outperformed our recruiting rankings most years under Pinkel once he got the ball rolling.
I don't see any indication that Odom is going to recruit demonstrably better, if at all. Frankly that's not his fault because we are a tough school to recruit to, but that just leads back to needing to play above your recruiting ranking. Maybe that's too unique, IDK, but if Odom is going to be successful here that is what he has to do. Just very hard for me to grasp that a man who was here to see the formula would want to change it.
From 07 to 15 we were legitimately in the national title hunt 2 times heading into the final week, and won 10 games 3 other times. People won't want to hear this, but it's probably not getting any better than that.
I was confident BO could and would continue the formula. Make it his own, but for the most part stick to what works. Doesn't appear that's his plan. We'll see how it works out, but so far...
