I'll go back to what I said in the previous thread - right now the only 'miss' he has is Bazelak. And even then, he didn't recruit Bazelak (and frankly, I loved that kid; thought he was going to be great). And I guess Macon, but I think he knew more about Macon than we did. I saw him in the spring game and turned to my buddies and said "oh shit - this kid can't actually throw the football..." I mean he just hasn't had better options than...meh. And the guys he tried to get in here through the transfer portal OVER Cook last year just didn't pan out. I think we're jumping the gun in a BIG way on closing the book on Drink already. We've seen a lot of progress across the roster and the one thing to worry about is the QB position. But he CLEARLY recognizes the importance of it (just as Pinkel did and Odom did NOT). He's going to keep taking swings there and like MOST college programs, he'll have more misses than hits. But it only takes one Lock. Or hell, even a Gabbert. And with a little patience I absolutely believe he can/will get that. And suddenly you have a pipeline you can start to build around a little stability at the position.

I do agree that the roster design and improvement is occurring or has been noticeable every where other than QB. And it's hard as ****, as I mentioned before, to get QB right. Especially now with the portal. You can do far worse than Cook but your ceiling is limited. Which is why I wouldn't give up him on yet as he's bringing in guys and improving the roster. Not saying they beat LSU or Tennessee, but win 1 of those 2, mood changes a bit. Given the schedule, anything less than 6 wins would be a disappointment and 8 wins should lead to being content. |

Is Mizzou going to bring in 2 5* and a 4 * recruit from in state? What's the chances we get all 3 or these studs from Missouri?

Things are looking fairly good for Nwaneri and Wingo, but Mizzou can always happen.

Things are looking really good for Wingo, Nwaneri, and a few other big recruits.

But it doesn't matter, because that mother****er is going to start Brady Cook at QB and he's gonna start him until it's no longer possible to start him and we're gonna lose all of our other QBs to the portal.

Nwaneri announces tomorrow and so far today we've gotten crystal ball predictions from Steve Wiltfong, Director of Football Recruiting, and Allen Trieu both saying he's going to Mizzou. If he does commit here I think a big part of it has to do with MO's new NIL laws. It's huge!

Lost out on a St. Louis recruit to Ohio State today. St. Louis kids have some sort of hard on for Ohio State.
