No shocker that intuition and feel is a problem across the board for some people. It's not isolated to a particular topic. Not happy with w-l total. Not happy with a certain performance. No feel for the music of it all. Polyphonic thought not possible.

What used to be a point of frustration is now pleasant confirmation that not all people can hear the music playing.

Arrogant? Perhaps. But the root of the problem often has more to do with willingness or lack of, which is often a result of conditioning -- so it's not even the persons fault, entirely.


Perhaps. But one's eloquence doesn't intuitively dilute the ripples of aged gratitude. You see, from dawn-to-dawn, reclusive abstracts gently sway our outer-most rancor, driving quiet, yet minimal, dalliances that only the gods would qualify as ubiquitous.

Dash now, ye mortal frolickers. As time slices our mind's own prudence, guess not how the wind may blow. Give in. Give in so you may consciously, lovingly receive this fading gift.

And win homecoming, for frick's sake.

You know, do you just go around picking fights or what?

There can't be a post, where your sorry attention seeking arse doesn't show up, and stir up shite.

Everyone has an opinion... Get over yourself.

You were funnier then shite, in the beginning.

Now you're just boring with your repetitious BS.

But if you liberate your mind body and soul and become one with his posts, placing them in their proper context in the universe you would see that your own post is more accurate than you will ever know or accept

The problem with the recruiting ranks is it puts more emphasis on number of recruits rather than quality. our class average according to 247 is under 83 which puts us dead last in the SEC and about 50th in the nation. We averaged 85 last year 86 in 2015, 84 in 2014, 84 in 2013, 87 in 2012, and 84 in 2011.
I like what Odom's done with a shite season, but this is not going to cut it for the SEC. Let's hope he's as good with talent eval as he was with the last few players he got last year at the end.

It will cut it if he can identify and develop, which is what a Mizzou coach will always have to do. Biggest reason being in state talent isn't up to snuff. Especially this year.

I mentioned number of commitments was likely artificially bumping us, but we also don't have enough to bump our 2* off. Rivals ranking anyway. Also, 247 still has several of our commits unranked.

This is a pretty weak year in state. Mizzou only offered 5-6 Missouri kids. Rankings are going to be down in those years.

If Mizzou wins 8-10 games next year I could see Mizzou having a top 20 class. Mostly due to the amount on Missouri recruits available.

How do you guys feel about our chances with the in state guys next year? Seems like I haven't heard anything about Thompson or Babb regarding Mizzou.

About 87ish% don't. But don't let that get in the way of an easy narrative.

Oorah.

Concur.

There will be the odd year that instate talent supports a class with 5 or more 4* players but for the most part a few elite young players scattered on a two deep of 4th and 5th year players will be the primary formula.

saying he's the MVP of the staff becomes pretty silly.


Elarbee's position group returned the fewest starts of any position group in the conference and allowed the fewest TFLs in a decade.

What are you calling a "true LT"? A player that projects at that position in the league? If so, MU has never had a true LT. McGovern graded out just as well as Morse and Britt did playing LT. Ricker's choice at RG and RT were what shot him in balls. Teams blitzed the right A and B gaps at will because of it and they waited until the BYU game to start giving Pendleton and Adams reps.

Were those really Rickers choices. I have heard that maybe he wanted to try younger players on the OL, but was overruled.

A coach is ultimately responsible for his position group. If Ricker couldn't sell what he wanted to the OC and ultimately the HC, that is on him. We all heard the rumors but Ricker also bounced guys around all spring instead of letting them learn to communicate.

Elarbee settled on a group of guys and let them gel. It was a good choice.

So, is 2018 an outlier year, or are programs getting better?

I kind of hoped the move to the SEC would spotlight the HS football situation in Missouri.

There are some metroish areas besides STL and KC to produce good to elite talent, seems to be rare though.

I didn't like Ricker's face. Zero defense of him.

But he had no LT. The anchor of it all.

This year we were blessed to have a legit true LT.

That's got to be considered in this, and a possible reason for the bouncing around.

McGovern had to learn the footwork in camp. He's a guard. Not a true LT.

It's a craft to play LT, and not all pick up on the footwork and all involved in the position. You of all people on this board seem like you should know this.

In my sport, I know there are natural centers and wings. A natural wing cannot play center and be for real. And often a natural center can't be at his best on the wing.

I would imagine it's similar, but even more so with the unique footwork ect that goes into play LT vs guard. McGovern was a natural guard playing out of position. Period.

I'm sure those other mistakes are legit too. There wasn't one thing that went wrong.
