Never heard of him.

They already play every year. They are both in the West Division. Arkansas would have to play Tennessee.

"Lawrence Lee could change that. The wide receiver from Pensacola, Fla., had been committed to Tennessee until a month ago. Earlier this month, he attended Alabama’s camp and caught the eye of Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban. Over the last two seasons, Lee (5-10, 166 pounds) has caught 109 passes for 2,238 yards and 28 touchdowns. That’s more than 20 yards per reception"
May very well be the next Jeremy Maclin at Mizzou

Nate Brown, Missouri
HOMETOWN: Suwanee (Ga.)
SIZE: 6-4/210
RANK: Four-star prospect; No. 302 overall player in America.
THE SKINNY: Amazingly, Brown was somewhat overlooked prior to his commitment to Mizzou during the fall–even with his stellar frame for the position. The Georgia native immediately started getting noticed after his commitment to an SEC school, and several teams–namely Georgia and South Carolina–tried to steal him away from the Tigers, but he didn’t waver and his letter of intent was the first one in on national signing day. He caught 61 passes for 1,041 yards and 21 touchdowns as a prep senior.
WHERE HE’LL MAKE AN IMPACT: With starting receivers Marcus Lucas and L’Damian Washington (108 combined receptions last year) gone to graduation, Brown is in a position to earn some early playing time. He’s talented enough to be a deep-ball threat or go over the middle, so that versatility will fit Mizzou’s offense well.
BROWN TELLS SATURDAY DOWN SOUTH: “I personally don’t try to pay too much attention to that star system and the websites and all that, I try to focus on the game and getting myself better. I feel like I’ve been underrated all along. Last year (2012). I had an injury that set me back but I played through it, and that may have affected my ranking some. I worked my tail off in the offseason. I just hope it brings more attention to more recruits that are on board with Mizzou. I’ve watched film of the other (Mizzou) guys, and at the end of the day, they’re just as good. The stars and stuff don’t matter.”
COACH SAYS: “If you look at our receiving corps, we were losing some high level players (this year) and some more players next year.” — Mizzou head coach Gary Pinkel
Going to be on first team ALL SEC freshman just look at him dominate Class 6 Georgia football

You're quoting a Missouri news source, of course they're going to say great things about your new players.
Also he didn't get an offer from Saban so he obviously didn't catch his eye too much. He committed a week after that camp so he would have had a chance to get one if Saban had wanted to give it.
Lawrence Lee was the 78th ranked WR according to 247, all four of LSU's WRs in this class are ranked higher by the same service. Not saying they're all better since recruit rankings are often flawed to a degree but Lawrence Lee is likely not going to be your next DGB. Overall he's a 3 star not in the top 247, he may be good but I wouldn't bet more than a nickel on him being an impact player his first year in the SEC.
At this point you should stop defending your point of view because it's not well backed, I respect your right to it but this thread should have died long ago.

Danario Alexander was a two star WR when he came to Mizzou, and didn't hold a single offer from any other school. Pinkel is the best at finding under the radar talent, and continues to prove why he is the best at evaluating talent. In his final season at Mizzou Alexander finished with 113 receptions for an NCAA best 1,781 yards and 14 touchdowns. He was also having a solid career in the NFL with Phillip Rivers until an injury to his knee. For the most part recruiting rankings don't matter.

Dude they are unproven, when they do something by all means continue until then Shut up.
Posted on 4/13/14 at 1:25 pm to TigerNick23
True but we know what we got with Mauk right now, our Wr not so much.

It is TN2's job to make Mizzou look a little bit dumb and deluded here on the rant. It is what he does.
Posted on 4/13/14 at 1:30 pm to MIZ_COU
Don't know who this is, but no one invited you here so retreat at your own will
Posted on 4/13/14 at 1:34 pm to TigerNick23
So got nothing on what I said man, its all truth they are UNPROVEN.
Posted on 4/13/14 at 1:34 pm to TigerNick23
Thanks for reppin Mizzou man, you couldn't make us look smarter if you tried.
Posted on 4/13/14 at 1:41 pm to wstorie44
Unproven players contribute every year at Mizzou going down the list obviously Mauk, Josey (in the SEC coming back from injury), Moe, ... No one is saying they have to have a 1000 yds to contribute.
Posted on 4/13/14 at 1:44 pm to TigerNick23
You are missing my point man , lets not dub them great until we see them in a game.
As of right now we have no fricking clue how they will perform and those that think they do is delusional.

Stop trying so hard. You sound desperate and embarrassing.

I agree with this and you sir got a upvote lol.
Posted on 4/13/14 at 2:13 pm to mikrit54
I also upvoted you. Although I don't have a problem with TigerNick, he does tend to dumb down our fanbase on here. I admire the young mans enthusiasm, he just needs to figure out when to quit and temper his expectations and predictions.
