I've been told that it was worse than that; Markel tried to commit (today), but Mizzou didn't have a spot for him (period). I don't understand it or like it, but that's what happened. Hope we still want Wingo.

I thought of you last weekend. I was having dinner with a family friend and I found out that she lived in Mosby during her childhood before her family moved to Liberty and she finished school there. She's only the second person I've ever encountered from your tiny town. If I knew her maiden name, I'd PM it to you to see if you knew her, but I only know her by her married name.

MU's had problems over there that go back years. As in prior to Pinkel and by a long shot.

We don't have a spot for a good but not great prospect with qualifying issues. We have spots, though.

Specifics? I mentioned this earlier, but I've heard this shit for years with no real confirmation, with crazy ideas being thrown around from it being related to Norm being a racist (which makes no sense) to ADs in the early 80s.

In general when Pinkel arrived there were relationships to repair with coaches all over the state. Previous regimes didn't keep promises made and burned bridges all over the place, not totally unlike some of what Ron Prince pulled w/ respect to KS h.s.'s. They've done that w/ success everywhere else in the state but less so in STL. Supposedly Darren Sunkett's one of the ringleaders spreading smut all over town on MU. STL guys don't get a fair shake, aren't taken care of, etc. IDK...the thing is it's not based in reality in terms of how things are today but the rep remains in certain circles or so it's said to be.

And yes racism too involving both football and hoops which as you said makes no sense.

I don't think it's players so much as "football leaders" in the area (Dem. Johnson is a name you hear a lot connected to that). I know Steeples talked quite a bit of trash about Mizzou after transferring to Memphis.

Iowa Rivals writers: "Mizzou basically told him they were full at running back so he committed to Iowa since it was between those two."
Still don't like it. The RBs we have are great, but this kid is a highly-ranked STL kid that wanted to come to Mizzou.

They were in a tough spot. The bottom line is that they'd have probably taken him had he committed before Trevon Walters....but he didn't. Witter looks like more of the HR hitter back that the Tigers prefer anyway. You hate to see it, but I don't feel like Mizzou did him dirty here - they were honest with him and he'll likely get a better shot at PT in Iowa.
