The correct move, IMO, was to keep the base they'd established in Texas while trying to pluck players from border states--guys who are normally Big Ten bound but would get a chance to stay close to home and play in the premier football league in the country. Instead, Pinkel wants the eighth tier players from Florida and Georgia so that we can eventually get fifth tier players.

I have no love for Pinkel. This thread just keeps laying the bricks.

For a time, MU was producing quite a bit of NFL-bound talent. I would say that Hamas is probably right, and that the coaching is just plain shit.
Is Pinkel dead yet?

How about locking down in-state talent? There's a junior Nixa RB that's getting some serious looks and will probably not be playing in Columbia when 2015 rolls around.

Not to pile on the instate flight: but what's the story on Rafe Peavey? Arkansas people seem to be excited about him coming here, but I don't really know anything about him. Is Mizzou not interested in him as a QB prospect?

They offered him, but he reaffirmed his commitment to Arkansas back in July. He's the same caliber recruit as Franklin with better offers. Theoretically he's a perfect fit for the Missouri offense.

Do you guys think we should hold off a year on firing Pinkel? I've been one of the main supporters of wanting his ass out of here ASAP but with all those big time job openings I don't think it's wise to get rid of him just yet, we might get stuck with someone worse. What a bad spot we're in, I mean ****.

2014 Texas 150 Florida 180 2013 Texas 199 Florida 219 2012 Texas 273 Florida 254 2011 Texas 272 Florida 243 I think there is value in moving our main recruiting base to the Geogia/Florida area as long as we continue to supplement with some Texas kids. We will always have some draw to them due to geography. We just really need to start locking down the top talent in Missouri. I am talking the four and five star kids. |

Who are the elite programs that draw primarily from Texas? Oklahoma, Texas, aTm. Okie State is a notch above Missouri as well, but there is still plenty of second tier talent for Missouri to build the backbone of their team from Texas. Who are the elite programs that draw from Florida? Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, FSU, with teams like Ole Miss, Miami, South Carolina, Auburn, and Clemson drawing very good talent as well. We had established pipelines in Texas and severed them to build pipelines in states that are harder to enter and establish. Missouri has a better shot of getting 4* kids from its border states than Florida or Georgia, and if it needed to it could have used those states as a secondary recruiting area.

Strange how the local schools haven't offered him. His size and numbers are just plain crazy. I suppose that COULD change, but like I said - you'd think the local schools would want to go after the local legit talent. |
