This. There's no excuse for it, the biggest homers can't defend that one even though they will try. Last year was awesome but if they want sustained success they have to lock down some of those in state guys. Georgia and Florida will be back soon as will Tennessee. It's crucial that recruiting picks up. They won't think I'm overreacting when the Kentucky game is no longer a gimme.

And on one hand, I completely agree with your take. It does make a huge difference and it'd be just completely awesome if we could seal the borders and keep every single piece of in-state talent. Truth is though, there are VERY FEW schools that keep every top 5 kid from their state every single year on a consistent basis. And for someone like Ofodile, who's lived in Columbia his entire life and has never really shown himself to be a unwavering Mizzou fan with a lifelong dream of playing for his hometown school. That being said, I think it's a mistake on his part to go to Oregon and that his pro potential would likely be helped more by playing in our offense. Hopefully we land Beckner, land another receiver from one of the southeast states who we have offers out to, and lock down one of the better classes we've ever had. |

Beckner will be heartbreak if we lose him, but I feel pretty good about it at the moment. |

Start talking to me about losing guys to GA, FL and TN but please don't bring the crap about UK. Until UK does something more than promise big and deliver small on whom they pull into the program, using them as a measuring stick for how well MU is doing or not doing lessens your argument. And makes you sound like Chicken Little. |

Because Mark Stoops' recruiting efforts translated to lots of wins during his Arizona DC run.
His recruits at FSU didn't truly take off until after he left. |

Take a look at this and tell me you're not a least a little worried about Kentucky being legit, this is ridiculous compared to the guys we are pulling in.

Even when they had their best group of athletes several years back they still only managed to pull one, maybe 2 decent years. I've watched them the last 7 years.....only the most rabid UK homer has confidence in them now even with their recruiting class. |

And it's not like UK has ever done much with the 4 Star recruits they have brought in. I remember a few years back a hot recruit named Aaron Boyd from right in their back yard in Lexington.....MU was one team that recruited him....but he decided to stay at home.
His Senior year he caught over 50 passes for 1100 yards...but otherwise wasn't really a factor in his career at UK. When the draft came around I believe he was rated 299 out of 342 WR's. |

I get that it's your MO, but you don't have to go nuts every time a recruit goes elsewhere. Again, Hentges and Ofodile would have been great, but their worth really had more to do with perception. Lock and Beckner are the guys we need to land as they'll likely be impact players.
