There was a kid from Blue Springs, Kaleb Prewett, they pursued hard. But he and two teammates committed to KSU early. Mizzou did not pursue the other two (RB Dalvin Warmack and DE Elijah Lee) very hard and missed them all. Kind of a package deal.

QB Rafe Peavey is from an Arkansas family and was never going anywhere else. He also didn't fit exactly what Missouri wanted at QB in this class - a versatile guy who could play multiple positions.

ATH Monte Harrison is another big miss, though he probably is playing pro baseball out of HS. He went to Nebraska instead, largely because of baseball. Darrin Erstad is Nebraska's coach. Tim Jamieson is Missouri's (and a giant a-hole).

The other guy who Missouri really pursued was St. Louis RB Markel Smith, who committed, decommitted because he thought he was going to get more big offers, didn't, tried to crawl back and found his spot had been filled. He ended up at Iowa, I think. As a fallback.

I think Wallace is the only one who really is an impact player at the college player. Warmack and Prewett will probably have nice careers at KSU, too.

Didn't know about Jamieson.
