As we all know, either a QB steps up this year, or Drink is gone. Simple as that.

Kind of like a fireworks display. Is Madison the grand finale?

So I'm not the only one feeling really underwhelmed by our recruiting? Seems like a lot of staff second choices are committing and we have no 4 stars now.

Hand resting on the panic button slightly at this point.

Yeah, let's wait on recruiting. Don't sign anyone. Why even recruit until we win 6+ games?

Jesus Christ, Lefty.

That is not what people are saying here. I am pointing out in order to get better recruits is to show much improvement on offense and win more than 6 games. That should help get interest from better players. Winning should help get better players down the road.

Couple of things:
1) did our leading recruiter leave last year?
2) Drink was good at selling NIL early on. Selling and executing are two different things.

Could yall imagine what you would of been saying if Rakestraw had committed when we first offered him? We were his first P5 offer yet yall loved his commitment but probably only because Bama and all them got involved at the very end. If he committed when we first offered yall would of been pissed and saying its a dud. Give the staff some time, they have been able to find some good 3 star players the past couple of years.

I hope you're right.

Hopefully we find our stride this season. Would love nothing more than to have a huge run of wins at the beginning of this season and turn it into a lot of momentum in recruiting too.

Thanks, Lefty. That's the kind of insight that draws me here.

LB Nicholas Rodriguez commits. Very nice offer list.

Madison should be up next tomorrow, beyond that it'll be interesting to see who else commits from our recent visits

Happy 4th of July fellas


James Madison II expected to commit to Mizzou today.

4* CB Cameron Keys will also announce today and is a Mizzou lean - 247 profile

After that, 4* LB Brian Huff will announce on July 12th. He has recently gotten predictions to Mizzou across multiple recruiting services

Handling NIL money is just like having a budget, so it is possible that Mizzou was signing lower-cost talent first to make sure they filled some slots; then you know you have a set amount of money for certain more expensive priorities.

Two commitments today, and who knows how good these kids are…but I think I read Mizzou was the only P5 offer for both??!! I think safe to say the days of Drink recruiting at all time high levels are over. Hope I’m wrong.



This aged well haha ??. Gotta keep ‘em coming tho! Happy 4th y’all!

RB Johann Cardenas from Houston, TX will decide today at noon. It looks like it is between us and Vandy

RB Darrion Dupree will decide today at 1 pm. His top 4 are Washington, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Mizzou.

Either of those RBs would be great, seems like the "experts" don't like our chances though huh.

In other news, 3* ESTL Safety Leontre Bradford seems to be trending to Mizzou but hasn't set a commitment date yet from what I can tell. He has a strong offer list - Wisconsin, Oregon, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Mich St, and others

Tweet retweeted by Bradford - LINK
