I know Mizzou probably developes better than anyone else, so I should shut up, but I was expecting more excitement after last year.

I certainly expected more after winning the east. I think losing Ofodile and Hentges is still tainting my thoughts. Had we landed those 2 in state kids, I would be clamoring about this class.

Updated list of outstanding offers per all 3 services if the kid isn't already committed. As always, sometimes the kid isn't being recruited at the position listed. A 1/2* means he was a 3 on some and a 4 on others.

I guess if we got Beckner, Williams the DE from St. Louis (Ladue) who is committed to Wisconsin and a few 3 star LB, I would be good.

at the rate we're "unrecruiting" and can't even get a 2 star to commit on the spot,

pretty sure we're doin it wrong.

How much do we miss Yost for recruiting?

Yea he was instrumental in getting us a year of DGB..

Yost is a sign of the problem though..

The Pinkel System:

Loyality >>>>> poor to avg performance


Pinkel is preventing himself from reaching the next level.. but

I'm frustrated too and seems things aren't taking off like one would think after winning the east, but:

Lock is not doing it wrong.
Strong is not doing it wrong.
Abbington is not doing it wrong.
Harris is not doing it wrong.

Yea just looked at the Tenn class.

They have 3 times the number of commits we have with just their 4 stars alone, didn't even count their one 5 star.

Tenn has done next to nothing the last half decade, sure we have good kids in this class, but it's obviously not big enough. We have quality but not quantity, we need some talent at WR and all over the defense.

At this stage, I'm convinced winning the East again this year would make almost no difference in recruiting, might allow us to hang on to what we have though.

While I totally agree that star rankings are way overblown. Sometimes the rankings do reflect useful measurable, like speed. So better recruiting helps a program fill in their glaring needs faster. For example we need a speed threat at WR. Some of the higher ranked WR have good measurables in speed and quickness.

Using the star system to pinpoint recruits who help with a certain need I think is helpful, but building a program based on pleasing the masses with Rivals rankings I agree is foolish.
