I figured it was time to start the new version of this...

2012 Schedule
April 14: Spring Game
Sept. 1: SE Louisiana
Sept. 8: Georgia
Sept. 15: Arizona State
Sept. 22: at South Carolina
Sept. 29: at Central Florida
Oct. 6: Vanderbilt
Oct. 13: Alabama

Oct. 27: Kentucky*101st HOMECOMING*
Nov. 3: at Florida
Nov. 10: at Tennessee
Nov. 17: Syracuse
Nov. 24: at Texas A&M

Still three games to be released here. I'd expect a mid-major in the Sept. 1 game, a FCS team on Sept. 29, and another mid-major on Nov. 17 (to get a November home game on the schedule).

Committed Recruits:
A list of all players committed to Missouri for the 2013 recruiting class.

I don't see how this is even possible. He only had his ACL surgery in May.

I just hope he can get back to 100%. We could have a monster year next year with all our main skill players coming back along with a healthy Josey.

I remember Van Alexander tearing his ACL around the same time (end of spring football) and being back for games in October. Smith is famous for doing cadaver ACL replacements. Recovery time is much faster than transplanting from one of your own tendons, as long as the body doesn't reject it.

Van was a freak of nature, though. Really fast healer/etc. But he got plenty of opportunities to show that off. Seemed like he was always hurt.

I would still guess he ends up redshirting. But who knows... if he's ready to go in October and they're having a better-than-expected season but could use a boost at RB...

Hank's injury was much more than just an acl. He had at least 3 different surgeries.

Yes. Two to the patellar tendon and one ACL replacement.

It sounded like the ACL was not done until the patella had healed completely, or at least that was the plan.

Nice piece on Saturday Down South:

5 Mizzou Tigers to watch in first SEC season

Last week, we gave a rundown of the four Mizzou Tigers who earned preseason All-SEC Honors. Now, we take a look at five players who may not have the preseason hardware, but will be keys to the Tigers’ success in 2012.

DT Sheldon Richardson, Jr.

Richardson was one of the nation’s most hyped recruits a few years ago coming out of St. Louis, but apparently was not a Rhodes Scholar, and had to go the JUCO route. After flirtations with USC, Richardson upheld his commitment to Mizzou, and showed flashes last year as Mizzou’s third D-Tackle. Both of the Tigers’ starting D-Tackles from last year are now in NFL training camps, however, so Richardson is going to be counted on to be the main man in middle against the SEC hog mollies.

OG Jack Meiners, Sr.

Few would argue that on both sides of the ball, Mizzou’s biggest question mark in their transition to the SEC will be how they handle the battle in the trenches. While Richardson will try and help the Tigers create stalemates on the defensive side of the ball, Mizzou also has to replace two starting guards on offense. One of the guys trying to fill that void on the interior of line is Meiners, a six-foot-six, 310-pound man child who had seven starts in 2011. One of Mizzou’s weight room warriors, we’ll see if Meiners can clear holes against some of the SEC’s premiere lard asses.

LB Andrew Wilson, Jr.

Mizzou’s leading tackler last year, Wilson slid over to middle linebacker in week one and never looked back after an injury took out Will Ebner for the season. Wilson’s 98 tackles, including 13 for loss, helped earned him all-conference honors and a reputation as a big hitter. His run stuffing demeanor should prove valuable in the downhill running style of the SEC, and this year he will most likely slide back outside to man the strong side, and try to keep some of the league’s power running games at bay.

RB Kendial Lawrence, Sr.

As much credo as Mizzou’s passing game has earned in Gary Pinkel’s tenure, it was their rushing offense last year that finished in the nation’s top 10. The Tigers’ top rusher, Henry Josey, averaged over eight yards a carry until shredding his knee against Texas in early November. Enter Lawrence, who began the season as the team’s starter before a cracked fibula caused him to miss some time. After Josey went down, Lawrence proved his worth, netting three games of at least 90 yards over the season’s final four contests. This season, with Josey still nursing his knee back to health, Lawrence enters as the team’s #1 back and an opportunity to build on his 1,200 career yards and nine touchdowns.

S Kenronte Walker, Sr.

Mizzou must replace mutli-year starter Kenji Jackson at the strong safety position, and Walker looks like the most likely candidate to do just that. Walker has been in the Tiger program for two years, arriving via the junior college route. After redshirting in 2010, Walker helped stabilize the free safety position last year, starting the last four games, all of which were Mizzou wins. This year, he will be called on to replace Jackson and be the Tigers eighth man in the box against some of the league’s power running teams.

Pitt Gorilla · 08-06-2012, 11:11 PM

Frank the Tank's Run versus A&M last year ranked #8 on ESPNU's Top 25 College Football Plays of 2011.

Pitt Gorilla · 08-07-2012, 11:00 AM

Freeman back with the team. Bunch of guys down with injuries today, though. Chappell (knee), Ruth, Waters (knee).

eazyb81 · 08-07-2012, 11:03 AM

Ruth and Waters are the only injuries that sound like they might be serious though, and fortunately Boehm and Culkin/Holifield appear ready to fill in if needed.

Titty Meat · 08-07-2012, 11:37 AM

Hannon is suppose to announce where he's going today.

What are you guys hearing?

No one has a clue on our end. I think he goes to Nebraska with Michael Rose. Hard to see him spurning Mizzou and Nebraska to go to an Arky program that doesn't even have a coach.

I'll be happy if he chooses Mizzou because I know him and want to pull for him, but I'm not entirely sold on him as some stud player. I've even heard that his coaches at Rockhurst don't really understand why he's getting this much attention.

It would be nice to start making traction at Rockhurst, though.

ESPN: James Franklin the most underrated player in the country

Franklin's strong résumé begins with his ranking third in the Big 12 in passer rating in conference games and seventh in rushing yards per conference game, but his case becomes even more powerful when considering how his numbers stacked up against the most highly touted dual-threat quarterback in college football: Denard Robinson.

According to cfbstats.com, Robinson posted a 146.5 passer rating and 76 rushing yards per conference contest last year. By contrast, Franklin averaged 75 rushing yards per conference game and tallied a 139.1 passer rating in Big 12 battles. Those numbers look equivalent at first glance, with Robinson holding a slight advantage, but once the strength of the Big 12 defenses is taken into account (the numbers show that the Big 12 had by far the best collection of cornerbacks in college football last season), one can see that Franklin actually outperformed Robinson. If he can replicate that level of performance against an even tougher SEC schedule in 2012, Franklin will easily earn his place in the conversation among the best dual-threat quarterbacks in college football.
