They apparently wanted him more than either Vincent Jackson or Sherieff Rhaheed, two guys I thought looked like pretty good prospects and who at one time or another had major interest in Mizzou, only to have the staff cool on contact. Especially Jackson.
Probably a good sign.
This is going to be a pretty typical Pinkel class. A few high-talent guys who probably make the two deep immediately (Andy Bauer, Nate Brown, Tavon Ross, notably). And a lot of guys who will go into the program, spend some time in development, and eventually make some form of solid contribution down the road.
They REALLY need to capitalize in the 2015 class. Lot of local DL talent (Terry Beckner of East St. Louis, the Davis twins at Blue Springs) that is actually fairly similar to the amount of in-state OL talent in the current class.
Also, it's going to pretty critical they land a QB who can be a starter in the next class. Drew Lock is definitely that, and all early indications on him are promising.
