re: 2013 Mizzou Football & Basketball Recruiting News *Commits and OVs in OP*

Stars arent everything, but PowerMizzou did a really good piece comparing recruiting rank within conference and where we finish in conference. Big XII and SEC. There was a really high correlation. Honestly we need to consistantly be within the Top 20 with our peers if we plan on moving up the Food Chain in the SEC.

Sure most of you have seen it but pulled a couple of encouraging articles off of TB.

1. Mizzou is expected to get a verbal from Travis Johnson who is rated as high as the 3rd best TE in the nation. Johnson de-committed from Miami and his mom expects him to commit to Mizzou.

2. Markus Golden is doing his best to get his former Hutchinson CC team mates Toby Johnson and Ben Bradley to Mizzou. Heard that Bradley really was impressed with his visit last week. However the former Georgia recruit Johnson is still holding out hope that Georgia offers him.

3. Reece has been tweeting with Mixon and it sounds like Reece will commit after the Holiday.

4. Donovahn Jones visited Minnesota last weekend and his father has said that Mizzou is clearly his sons favorite.

5. Also heard that Aarion Penton is an absolute rocket and a very good score for Mizzou.

The mother of two-way Jesuit standout Travis Johnson told the Times on Tuesday she believes Missouri is her son's top choice following his de-commitment to the University of Miami.

Love how the Tampa article says Johnson is considering USF (which he is) despite the fact that his mother said Mizzou is his top choice.

Johnson tweeted earlier this morning saying that article was complete bullshite

If he's going so far as to say it's bullshite then I doubt we have a chance. If he simply clarified that he hasn't made up his mind one way or another, maybe we're still in it.

I think that is a fake account.

This looks to be his real one.

I'm confused. Fake twitter accounts? Newspaper articles that may or may not be bullshite?

Can someone give me the cliff notes, please?

Cliff notes version: Ignore reedus23

So, we're not getting either Johnson, or Reece, or Bradley?

We don't know yet. I had posted a tweet from a WR going to Texas A&M to the effect that Bradley was going to Mizzou. I shouldn't have jumped the gun because the twitter account was a bogus one. So bottom line is, the tweet was nothing, meaning we don't know anything one way or the other.

The articles were printed and I posted some of the quotes and gave the links. UR indicated that Johnson has since come out and said the articles, as far as they relate to him, are bullshite. I don't think that means we're not getting him. It means we are still in a wait and see mode.

Johnson will sign somewhere in February, Reese will decide in January, and Bradley is struggling with his decision.

This coaching staff right now does not deserve any coffee because coffee is for closers and we clearly have none on the staff

I think you're right, but nonetheless color me unimpressed with this class. Even if we get EVERY target we are after right now, which we won't, it will still be a High 20's, Low 30's ranked class.

By the way I'm guessing right now that neither or the JUCO DT's end up in Columbia, which will suck
