A lot to not enough :lol:

Ah really? Great for him, but since he is a positional coach and not an assistant probably hurts our chances at this point :lol:


Anyone know any other names / targets MU would be looking at?

I know we have Safeties, TE, and Strength and Conditioning Coaching spots open at the moment.

Drink putting in a ton of work and I am loving it.


Question I have is i think this means as it stands now we have 9 S... does that mean more attrition coming? Either way this is a quality transfer with some big upside in our system. Well done, would like to see some LB/DT support as well!

Funny thing is I think its a couple of things in no particular order: A)team performance, B) tailgating experience, and C) in- game experience.

A)Team Performance- I think the '22 recruiting cycle has helped this a lot. I know personally I have had a lot of casual fans reach out to me having interest in checking out this batch of recruits and just overall pulse on the program. Props to Drink and Co. to put that together, work isnt done yet and a good season (or more) would really elevate this program. Pair that with some improved marketing and it could really take off. I think people talking around the state like this is a great first step excited to see more.

B) Tailgating Experience- Farout has a lot going for it (close to campus and not far from downtown, facility upgrades, light the dome, tiger walk etc) which is a good start.... but there are things that can obviously be improved upon. Maybe with NIL working on putting together some sort of sponsored tailgate downtown, or in close proximity. I think being able to see other SEC stadiums and build on that is a good idea. We have the bones to have something special here just gotta put it all together.

C) In Game Atmosphere- I touched on this a little in B, upgrades are really nice bringing in elevating Farout to the next level. I think overall I like the new seating map/plan the AD had released so thats another plus. That being said I think the speakers i the stadium are disappointing not sure why it only comes from the one side (north endzone), also the music seems dated and we reuse the same songs multiple times per game, and on TV they seem to show the most barren sections (might be fixed with new seating plan). So of the 3 points i think this one has the most work to do.

Overall I think we have a good foundation, and aren't light-years away but as many have said on this board we need to start acting like the SEC program that we are and continue elevating. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

This is really just a pipe dream at this point but apparently Kevin Coleman is still unsigned.... any reasons why? (I have friends who went to St. Mary's and apparently told me he was an Oregon lean, but i know their HC has since gone to Miami)....Any chance he could still end up at MU?

Kevin Coleman Rivals

Apparently Mizzou is expecting to take 16 - 17 this year.

With Jones waiting I think we sit at 14/15 for this class.

Any ideas on the other potential 2 are? Wesolak, and is there someone else I am forgetting? Or is this other spot a transfer most likely?

Also hearing these NLI have rolled in as well:

Jamarion Wayne (WR, 3*)
Valen Erickson (OL, 3*)
Issac Thompson (S, 4*)
Jalen Marshall (DT, 3*)

Any reason or thought behind why you would think this? Drink is bringing in a top 15 class (with upside to be a top 12 class nationally). To me this does not seem like he wants out, rather he is doubling down to build something here in COMO. I just feel like if he were already planning a next step it would show up on the recruiting trail results.

Lots of coaching carousel this year indeed, but there are lots of proven coaches out there that I would think are more front-and-center between the NCAA and NFL ranks but maybe thats just me. Would think the Tigers would start talking extension for Drink next year (year 3 of his 6 year contract)but I guess we will see.

Zach Evans a former 5* RB recruit is transferring from TCU. Had a Mizzou offer and at one time had said MU was his dream school could be interesting to see where he ends up not saying he's necessarily a Mizzou lean now, but there was some history there and with the recent RB success (Roundtree, Badie) and a possible Luper connection i thought it was worth a mention.

Or Campbell out of ISU especially with the Big XII on the brink could imagine he'd be interested in fielding some calls haha.
