Crockett - That's stating the obvious, but he is a huge plus.
Garrett - For a true freshman...playing MLB...thought he did a solid enough job stepping in and stepping up most of the time.
OL - Another obvious one, but they we stout almost all year and what a turn around. And I believe they all return.
Strong - When he's running north and south, he is good. He gets in trouble when he runs backwards trying to avoid defenders or stringing things out.
Who/what am I missing?

Blanton and the WRs with another year of experience could be good.
If Lock matures as a passer he could be really good. His decision making cost Mizzou a couple games this year.
In defense Frazier really finished the season strong.

we are in for years of rebuilding
it's going to get worse before it get's better
Lock is not good
there is no light at the end of the tunnel except for the train
there is more if I go back another page

Lock will be much better.
Sophomore to Junior year transitions are generally huge for QBs.
He'll figure some stuff out. It's like he's an 8 year old that's been playing Madden in HOF mode for two years. Eventually, it just clicks.

Per Pete Scantlebury on Twitter, this OL allowed the least TFL's of any OL in the nation since 2008

I wouldn't have thought I would say this even a week ago, but you're missing Drew Lock and J'Mon Moore.
The jump from Sophomore to Junior for a QB is significant. On top of that, according to Dave Matter, Lock just threw for the 5th most yards in school history (3,399) only behind Chase Daniel (2008, 2007, 2006) and Blaine Gabbert (2009). That's a crazy thought when you think about HOW MANY DROPS the WR's had this year. He could've had hundreds more yards than he did.
As for J'Mon Moore, Dave Matter reported that he just had the 8th most receiving yards in school history (1,012). Again, imagine what his total would've been if not for the drops. If he can be even a little more sure-handed, he could have a huge season next year.
Both guys were incredibly frustrating at times, but the numbers say there's definitely something to be excited about with them.

The dropped passes have to stop. How many points were left off the scoreboard against Arkansas due to pass drops? How many games were lost over the season due to pass drops?
For the defense, my god, watch for the screen pass!

I think I'll just add onto what you already said as well.
Crockett - A gift from God himself. Wastes zero time getting downhill. He finishes all of his runs going forward, unlike Witter (who had improved this season). Once this guy gets a year or two in the weight room, he'll be bulldozing people and knifing through the second level like it's nobody's business.
Garrett - This kid is simply tough as nails. Even though it was a bit cheap, watching him knock that Arky OL's teeth out was pretty cool. He gets a little too antsy in his run fits (Williams gashed us cutting back), but that's probably because he's a true freshman with nerves running and lots of adrenaline. Give him a year to settle into things and get comfortable, and he'll be the next Kentrell Brothers by his senior year (mark my words!).
OL - I want to pick out a few guys, but hell. Every guy on that OL played fantastic this season. Elarbee gets them motivated so well. Sam Bailey (the Big Show's doppleganger) and Kevin Pendleton are just old-school badasses that have a great mean streak. I was very impressed by the aggressive nature shown from Dubinski and Ploudre, too. I still can't believe that I saw Dubinski flatten Kirkland Jr. from UT like he did on Crockett's big run in the 3rd quarter. Paul Adams and Tyler Powell are simply moving walls.
Nate Strong - I was high on this guy all year, but I'm not going to lie, I've been disappointed in his performance in the last two games. Dittoing what you said, he is better running north and south than east and west. He seemed scared of contact on a few plays vs. Arky, which worries me a little bit. But if he gets an offseason under his belt, watch out. I would not want to be in front of an angry 220 pound man with his speed.
Now here's some of what you're missing:
Drew Lock - He's been stupid at times this season, but I'll be drinking the Lock kool aid now just like I have for the past two seasons. He won the Arkansas game for us. He kept us in the game with a solid WVU team on the road. His arm is one of the best I've seen in a Mizzou uniform ever. He does have some imperfections, but I think they will grow as he matures as a player and a young man.
Mason - Holy hell. I did not see this kid coming. He had some frustrating drops this year, but I still have lots of hope for the guy. Him and Garrett are the biggest steals of the 2016 class. He can get separation from just about anybody. T.J. Moe doesn't just compare anybody to J-Mac, either.
Marcell Frazier - I was very disappointed in his lack of production last year and half of this year. But I think that getting benched in favor of Jordan Harold and Spencer Williams gave him a wake up call. He's got the size, and speed to be an all-SEC talent, but now he's got the motor to go along with it, too.
Blanton - The best receiving TE we've got. I don't know about his blocking skills, but he's a red zone nightmare for defenses
Perkins - Consistent tackler for a RSFR. He's only going to get better at coverage skills, but you have to have a good run-stopping safety to compete in the SEC in my opinion.
Beisel - He's taking advantage of his opportunity. If I'm Odom, I would have a hard time not starting him next year.
I'm pretty optimistic about the future, if you haven't noticed. Let's hope that TBJ comes back the same and that J'Mon Moore grows up a little bit, and we just might have a decent 'ball team in 2017
