I think your sentiment is dead on. We should be recruiting with Kentucky, Arkansas, USCe. Recruiting is selling and Mizzou does not possess that dynamic. GPs staff wasn't and neither is BO's. Even the fans have the attitude of "this is where we have been and this is where we will stay." There is no real emotion about being better, we count victory in not regressing.
As luck would have it, the line between top recruits and 3 stars is getting narrower. 7 on 7, weight rooms and specialty offenses are really helping all kids advance. We see that in Perkins and Daniels. For my money, I like Daniels even though Rivals tells me Perkins is better. Was Rountree really a 2 star? I don't think so. So the tepid Mizzou attitude won't hurt the team.

Again, you guys are placing too much value on stars.
The elite guys are easy to identify but after that it is a literal crap shoot. You can't say we aren't recruiting better than UK or Arkansas because we won't know that for 2-3 years.
It's about identification and development. Always has been, always will be.
Go watch Jataorian Hansford's tape. Watch him cover slot receivers (and actually be able to do it well) at 6'4" 225 lbs. tell me why an athlete like that is a low 3*. Tell me why Jalen Knox or Kam Scott (who is dominating the TX state playoffs) is a 3* and Cameron Brown who is smaller and slower is a 4*? Tell me why Simi Bakare averages 9 ypc in 6A Texas football and is a 2*?
The top 100, 150 or so players stand out. They are easy to see for sure. After that, it's a minimally educated guess AT BEST.
