Terrible? Naaaah

Average? Yes

Let's see what happens with 18's loaded class... If Odie can show improvement as a coach, and we see improvements on the field..... No reason why we can't snag some of this in state talent.

That's what this board said a few years ago when we signed some unknown....everyone (including me) was like who the frick is this guy????

'That' guy was Charles Harris. Another guy we recruited (and signed) EVERYONE wanted & based on his rating & measurables he was complete flop.....that guy was DGB.

I 100% knew someone would make a thread about how much we suck at recruiting.

Bad class, but, we got what we needed. A solid backup in the near future and qb, and loaded up at DT.

What you are missing is the 3 or 4 years we need to know whether it is good, bad or indifferent.

Yeah.

I'd say you're missing a lot. Like 75% of the picture.

But I wouldn't worry about it.

You're not meant to think this through any better than you have.

It's not terrible but it's not great. There are a fair amount of high 3's that have a lot of potential, which is what we do. When we are top ten good we have had a handful of 4 stars with high development potential (so that's still what we do). We don't have that this time. But let's see what happens in 2018, that's really when we are going to find out a lot about BO's potential.

We are probably never going to be bama or tOsu where we vacuum up a bunch of 4 and 5's and process out all the busts. And I'm OK with that.

Well, to be honest, didn't everything point to this being an oddly bad year for Missouri high school football? Next year seems to be loaded with talent so this might just be one of those years.

It happens. There might be some real hidden gems in what you got. If not, well hold on till next year when you should have a real bumper crop of talent coming along. Teams like Missouri, Arkansas, and the Mississippi schools live for that big haul year where they can upgrade to the point they threaten the big boys.

I still like your chances to be competitive for the East next year and going forward.

One thing I had noticed and Heupel commented on (in his interview posted in the recruiting thread) is, they signed a bunch of team captains and players who played for state championships. I love that, especially the signing of players used to winning.

And as Danny Heitert mentioned in his interview (also in the recruiting thread), if 5 or 6 of Missouri's signees were from Missouri they would have ranked 1st in the state.

So there are some silver linings even if it's mediocre looking by rankings
