Milliard was OU'S best offensive player before he was injured.
MU had obviously done a great job evaluating and developing talent. Neal and Milliard would have been big contributors before their careers were done.

Millard wanted to play FB, a position that did not exist and does not exist in Missouri's offense. They tried with him, but it didn't work.
That's not the song they sold to Neal while he was being recruited. He himself said he was being recruited to play Broyles slot WR spot and talked like he had been told he'd be the starter there from Day 1.
But it really doesn't matter now. I still maintain he wouldn't have played at Mizzou this year ... And would not start over Hunt in the slot next year.
