The WR and CB who committed today are both **** on 247. The Cb is a *** on Rivals.

But yes, some really nice adds of late.

Honestly, I like the QB they have now more than the kid they lost of Nebraska, too. Though you hope it Gabarri Johnson keeps them on the bench and hands it off to a higher-ceiling QB when he leaves.

11-1

Only regular loss is to South Dakota.

Missouri’s mid-summer success on the recruiting trail continued on ______ with the commitment of 3/4-star cornerback Cameron Keys.

The Lynn Haven, Fl. native chose the Tigers over Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Tennessee and a handful of other programs. Keys immediately becomes one of the highest rated commits of the 2024 class for Missouri.

Keys recorded 26 tackles, nine pass breakups and two interceptions in nine games last season. He also caught nine passes for 101 yards in limited action as a wide receiver. Keys ran track at A. Crawford Mosley High School as well.

Get to know: Cameron Keys
Hometown: Lynn Haven, Fl.

High School: A. Crawford Mosley High School

Position: Cornerback

Ht/Wt: 6-foot, 160 lbs.

Rivals Ranking: 5.6 (3-star)

247Composite Ranking: No. 308 national, No. 26 cornerback (4-star)

Total announced offers: 19

Offers to note: Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Mississippi State
For me, the first thing that jumps off the tape is Keys’ ability to stay in the hip pocket of a receiver in the open field. His long strides and quick acceleration makes it very difficult for receivers to beat him deep.

While his frame is fairly lean, Keys is capable of being a heavy-hitter, and that should only become more prevalent as he puts on some weight in college. His capabilities as a receiver are intriguing, as he showed a great ability to adjust to the ball and make the most of it when he had it in his hands. Still, it is hard to imagine Keys straying from the defensive side of the ball when Blake Baker gets his hands on him.

That's not terrible.

Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas touted receiver James Madison II is headed back home as the Kansas City native announced his commitment to Missouri on the Fourth of July, choosing to play his college football for Eliah Drinkwitz and his staff over his other finalists in Florida State and Louisville.

Madison moved to the Sunshine State in eighth grade and emerged as one of the area’s best pass catchers, including turning 19 receptions into 407 yards and six touchdowns as a junior en route to a state championship.

“I feel like it was a lot of factors that went into my decision,” Madison said. “The main three factors would be at Mizzou being that I am from there I feel like I can bring a lot of light to the program, bring a lot of excitement to the program. You saw Luther (Burden) commit last year brought a lot of people on. Building a whole class of guys from Missouri and outside of Missouri people say can compete would bring a lot of hope for Missouri and that Missouri football is back and can be a top SEC school.

“Also I would have to say my relationships with the coaches. Coach (Jacob) Peeler is a very proven receiver coach. He has put a lot of receivers in the NFL like AJ Brown, DK Metcalf and Elijah Moore and he’s a really good guy and really good coach. I trust in Coach Drink and what he’s doing. All he needs is the recruits and players and that’s my mission to help him get that and be the best player I can be.”

Madison is ranked by 247Sports as the nation’s No. 49 receiver in the 2024 class and he feels he can reach his potential in Columbia.

“The offense, Kirby Moore coming in from Fresno State,” Madison said. “I don’t know what it is about him but he’s a very, very smart guy. His offense he runs is very proven. His brother is the OC with the Chargers. I already know he has an elite type of mindset with his offense.”

247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins breaks down what Mizzou is getting in Madison.

“A gangly pass catcher with surprising run-after-catch capabilities,” Ivins wrote in his scouting report. “Measured just over 6-foot-3, 190 pounds in Spring of 2022. More importantly, had a near 6-foot-8 wingspan. First emerged on the recruiting scene as a freshman at TRU Prep. Eventually transferred into St. Thomas Aquinas where he cracked the rotation as a junior, totaling 407 receiving yards and six touchdowns for Florida’s 3M champions. Long stride allows him to chew up turf as he works his way up the field while superb body control allows him to make high-level grabs look easy every now and then. Has proven to be a bit of a mismatch on the inside as he can quickly stack linebackers or safeties and get vertical on post/corner routes. At one point looked like he was going to grow into an F tight end of sorts (and has been utilized some in that role on Friday nights), but continues to bill himself as a larger wide receiver. Should be viewed as a potential game-changer that offensive coordinators can get creative with (especially in the red zone) given his skill set. Must keep progressing and fill out, but arrow seems to be pointing in the right direction.”

Nwaneri is the #1 overall prospect on On3. First kid to be ranked #1 nationally. MU have a chance here or is the kid OU bound?

If this team only wins 6 this year, he has to go…I’m sorry, I don’t care what it looks like.

The time of treading water and being .500 or just above is over, they have to show some upward trajectory this season.

I’m not a believer in Drinkwitz at all but I’m actually fairly optimistic about this season…do worry about both lines however. I think hiring an OC was a smart move as well.

Brady Cook gonna start camp as QB1. I know this ****ing bitch is about to run Brady Cook out there to start the season. If he does, then fire him after game 1.

He’s going to die on that hill, simple as that.

Drink should just start packing up his office.

Gotta give him through 2024 at least due to the recruits he's brought in and as well as the willingness to change.

He gave up play-calling and brought in a quality OC in Moore.

Baker appears to be a stud DC.

I know you guys love to bash Cook, but I think he's at least competent (though still athletically limited) when healthy. The OL was a forest fire in Canada last season.

Mizzou has a non-zero chance to be 5-0 going into Week 6 vs LSU in CoMo.

Win 3/5 vs LSU, Kentucky, Florida, Arkansas, and SC and that puts Mizzou at 8-4.

Did you see the part of the presser where he talked about being comfortable using a few QBs to start the year and not deciding on a QB1 until after 2 games?

Returning starting QBs are usually going to start the next camp as the starting QB. Doesn't mean they stay that way.

Drinkwitz understands Cook's ceiling and won't run with him unless Horn shits the bed entirely. He knows his seat is going to get warm if he doesn't start showing some solutions at QB, too.

Brady Cook can't hit the broadside of a barn.

You live and die at the QB position and so far going into Year 4 he has no clue what he's doing at the position. That's a big giant red ****ing flag.

The athleticism or lack of isn't really the big problem here so I think you're whiffing pretty hard on this assessment.
