re: Don’t sugarcoat it

We will do as well as the coach we are able to get and can afford. So for now we struggle to get to the middle of the east.

Yes. We’re doing this again. We are told don’t expect Mizzou to recruit nationally. Ok. Then when we whiff on almost every single in-state prospect in a year when we have more in-state talent than most years, we are told “We are Mizzou. It’s just the way it is.”

This was a hugely disappointing recruiting class for Mizzou. You can admit that without renouncing your ardor for Barry.

Mizzou is never going to be a top 15 recruiting class every year school. Even if every year there is a strong Missouri 10. Oklahoma, Ohio State, Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, Clemson, etc will always come first. High level athletes are not looking at the education difference. They dont care about a family first atmosphere. The things that Mizzou can pitch are the things that 4* and 5* players done care about. They want proven consistant winners. Can that change at some point? Yes with the right head coach. But Barry Odom is a name brand Gary Pinkel in that he is the same level recruiter but not close to the same level Developer. The high level kids we get are the ones who just love mizzou through and through. But the Drew Locks of the world are few and far between.

UGA,UT and Florida have always recruited well and Mizzou has beaten them or played them very well. The problem isn't our recruiting rankings, its those 3 teams may now have great coaching to go along with their recruits. Bo got a real break in the 2nd half of last year, lets hope he learned some things that will keep Mizzou competitive.

We started the season 1-5 and haven't been good since 2014. We were overly optimistic in hoping that kids from an area who historically dont come to Mizzou would suddenly change their mind. There's another good crop of kids in Missouri next year and I'll give you a heads up, expect to land 1-2 of them.

NO wonder everyone shite talks Mizzou fans. Such pessimistic BS. We are Mizzou. We suck. Not even our homegrown talent likes us. Oh well. Let’s take the two stars. Wah.

GD pathetic. We need a better class of fans and support after the GP successes.

I was going to type a long response. But everything flows downhill. If Barry can’t identify, attract and coach up talent, he won’t be here long.

and a 3* WR.

Who was that?

Ya know, just because Bo let you blow him it doesn't mean he loves you

We need better fans. That is true. It's a huge part of our problem.
