We're arguing about whether we should focus on Texas or the South, but the biggest problem with this year's class is the in-state recruiting. We've got zero of the top ten Missouri recruits according to Rivals. We're on course for maybe one of them. That would be a huge departure from previous years.

At one point two of the top six were committed to Mizzou in Andy Bauer and Markel Smith. I think there is a chance both come back into the fold. I have heard that Peavey has some tie to Arky and Roderick Johnson seems to want to leave the state.
I don't then the two Blue SPrings kids seemed to be too high on Mizzou's list as they thought they had Smith locked into that RB role. Mizzou tried with the other two top ten kids but Goodluck wanted to go to NU and by all accounts is pretty raw. Oh and the Wingo family does not seem to care for Pinkel to much so Raymond will most likley head elsewhere like his brother did.
Overall it was a weak year in Missouri with the exception of OL which we need but we cannot seem to get them on board. Blame that on the fact our spread OL don't make it to the league in my opinion.
