Jesus you guys. Not sure what to even say at this point:

http://www.stltoday.com/sports/colle...d81e4bc35.html

You know, fans of other teams usually say that we Mizzou fans are just paranoid about this whole snake-bitten thing. But over time, it just adds up to that.

They don't say "Because Mizzou" for nothing.

We picked up a pretty big (size) JUCO recruit today - former *** QB who looks to have some accuracy issues but can sling it.

Given Printz's transfer and Mauk's.....well, Mauk - QB has suddenly become a pretty big need for us.

Well, Hog NSD sucked as well. I knew we would whiff on all our big recruits that we were vying with Florida and LSU for... but I didn't think we'd get screwed out of Putu, who Bert basically discovered in some backwater JuCo in North Dakota but then got stolen by Florida at the last minute, despite the fact the kid has never even visited Florida and wouldn't have even been on their radar if Bert wouldn't have uncovered him.

That one stung.

Since we're not conference rivals. I welcome you guys to become TCU fans. We got a pretty awesome recruiting class coming in. :D

Shouldn't you be giving future NFL WR Trevone Boykin a handy?

I don't know who future NFL WR Trevone Boykin is.

I do know who future HOF NFL QB Trevone Boykin is though.

Looks like the entire story has been redacted.

What did it say?

LMAO
Stop it, you out of control homer. Lol

It's not redacted; the post just requires you answer a couple of survey questions before it will let you read it. Those little boxes on the side.

I r knew to webz.

Saw the story in the other thread. What a cluster****.

"Get some more muscle" fired.

Abbington and Cuellar quit the team.

Abbington probably had cause. I'm not sure why he didn't get more PT last year than he did when all we had was Ish Witter being insanely 'meh'.

Cuellar, if the rumors are true, is welcome to get the **** out of town. If he was as bad about encouraging/enabling Mauk then he is not an influence we need in the lockerroom.

I thought so too, but then I heard that he was extremely out of shape last year. I can't speak to its truthfulness, but he also got right buried after that drop against UConn.

He didn't play more because he got a little fat, didn't like to work, and wasn't as good as the St. Louis hype machine made him out to be.

I've heard some recent chatter about MU and Auburn possibly swapping spots. Would make sense in a geography way, but shit.

I'd assume that Bama would try to block it as that would interfere with the annual win vs Tennessee.

Lock looks a bit thin still, but has done already. Whitter looks more confident as a runner and front 7 D looks pretty good still.

Receivers are meh and the Offensive Line is ****ing rough. Getting blown up a lot and at least 3 ****ed snaps so far. They're going to **** everything if they don't get a lot better by August.

Was gone for awhile so didn't get to discuss this. Do you guys agree with Kevin Keitzman the concerned 1950 group killed your school/football program? I thought the Odom hire was very underwhelming is he friends with Pink? Herman seemed like a no brainer.

The whole thing did some damage to enrollment and recruiting, but I think it's overblown compared to the fact our AD probably is actually pretty bad.

Odom was a Pinkel favorite and the AD is being cheap as **** now. No other reason that Kermit is getting another ****ing year.

TL;DR: AD is stupid and cheap as ****.

Kietzman is full of shit re: Mizzou, as usual. It did not help, but it didn't kill anything.

Mizzou's enrollment has been outpacing its student housing for several years. There was a bubble there that was expected to burst soon, if you talk to people in admissions. They'd set a new school record for freshman enrollment for 4-5 years in a row. That wasn't going to go on forever.

cs1950 likely accelerated the correction.

As for Herman/Odom, Herman was Rhoades 1A the entire way, but Odom was in the top 3 from the beginning. Herman got a huge raise from Houston and is waiting for the vulnerable Charlie Strong to get canned (which he likely will in the next two years). Tough pull.

Fuente was the other guy in that tier for Rhoades.

Odom is a different situation than Kim Anderson. He was going to be a head coach somewhere strong if not at Mizzou next year. He is young, hungry, and has connections.

Anderson is just a dumpster fire that will hopefully be extinguished after this season.

I't is really interesting how Odom is viewed as a step-down hire, I think just because he happened to be on staff. But this was a guy who was going to get looks at other places, and just happened to be at the right place at the right time.
From my interactions with him (few and not personal conversations... just clinic-type stuff), he's got a little learning on the job to do, as does his staff. but i LOVE the makeup of the staff, and the focus behind it. And I think Odom's drive is going to pay huge dividends down the road. I'm very happy with the hire.

Yeah Anderson is good as gone. Heard from a family member of a recruit that the players hate him. Not like that's breaking news or anything.

Also how come you guys let McQuitty get away?

Coming from a non-alumni of Mizzou... I kind of have the same view as my buddy of mine who is also a non-alum.

Supporting the school in light of the CS-1950 cluster**** seems foolish. We were talking about this in reference to the Duke Lacrosse 30 for 30 episode so I don't know his precise reasoning outside of associating with Mizzou being an embarrassment.

From my admittedly worthless point of view, I feel a level of shame for being a MU fan largely because of Melissa Click, the fact several dozens of faculty members went on record supporting Click when it was clear as day she was actively suppressing free speech and because the football team effectively ransomed the school with the financial ramifications of not playing BYU with Gary Pinkel's support. Click got ousted and I'm guessing her husband will also no longer be a part of the faculty come this summer as well, but if Mizzou is in a budget shortfall then they should look no further than the slew of academics that saw nothing wrong with her actions and made this opinion public.

The silver lining here is that Click's two wonderfully embarrassing videos and subsequent dismissal shined a little bit of light into the insanity that is the SJW "movement." Now, it's not just reddit neckbeards and sssssssssssh trolls raising the alarm of just how dangerous "safe spaces" and other suppressive measures taken by today's "progressive-minded" folk are to our country. Other people have woken up to the nonsense -and this is coming from someone who knows that black Americans get the shaft as a rule moreso than an exception both economically and socially via unfair applications of justice and that being gay or transgender isn't immoral nor should it be illegal.

It's not much, but it's a start in my opinion.

But as it pertains to purely a sports perspective... I don't think I'll be shelling out for tickets at Arrowhead or Faurot any time soon regardless of how good or bad the Odom era is and I'm definitely not going to support the joke of a hire that is Kim Anderson as long as he's calling the shots on the hardwood.

If Mizzou can get its house in order and prove that they won't give in to whackjob students and faculty, then I'll willfully support the school through payments at the box office and through wearing black and gold as someone who takes pride being a born and raised Missourian.

He reportedly ran a 4.85 forty at camp last summer, and they didn't make him a top priority as a result.

Elliott and Ifedi play the what if game with those two for Mizzou.

Trio of former Tigers taken during Day 3 of NFL Draft: http://greatamericansportsnetwork.co...y-2-nfl-draft/

Uh Auburn Tigers or LSU? MU didn't have a single Day 2 guy.

Well, is it time for the next thread? Hamas, DJ, or Duncan should start it...

I saw the Donks took a OG from Mizzou. Conner McGovern in the 6th.

5th. Dude should be a solid guard.

The lack of high draft picks shows how much less talent was on the team compared to previous years.

The amount of non-seniors leaving was gonna catch up to them at some point.

The classes from 2012-14 were not good. That really bit them in the ass.

That too.

I see Russell Hansbrough is headed to the Bucs as an undrafted FA

Nice NFL OL.

Max Copeland looks like he's straight out of an 80's Slayer tribute band. LMAO

Mizzou Fan hated this line.

Britt is likely a bust in the NFL.

He started 16 game his rookie season at RT on a Super Bowl team and started all 16 games at LG for the Seahags this past year.

He may not be an All-Pro, but he is certainly not a bust.

Starting doesn't mean you're good. Sorry to break the news.

In his defense, though, Seattle reached to the moon on him.

Depends on your definition of 'good'. Again, he may not be making a Pro Bowl anytime soon, but Seattle's coaches have deemed him good enough to start in 32 games out of 32 games in his pro career.

I'll trust their judgement over yours.

I think you don't understand that there are not good players starting a lot in the NFL and the Seahawks O-Line is a tire fire.

Matt Cassel started multiple seasons.

E:
TL;DR: You're stupid.

Quote, but no link? Interesting. Is this PFF?

You're right. All the players in the NFL that are starting and are 'not good' are NFL busts.


You should probably stick to weather forecasting.

You should probably stick with not posting, as you struggle with simple concepts.

If you can't spend 13 seconds on google than you're ****ing hopeless.

You can't rehaul an entire line at once when you've traded away high draft picks for multiple years and you're kinda struggling on cap space.

Offensive line play was below average for just about every team last year.

With Seattle being in the lowest percentile.

And you apparently struggle with being able to post links, so we all have our issues to work on.

Have a good night.

If you can't read that quote, notice it's from PFF, than google Justin Britt PFF idk doe

PFF or FO quantitative data aside.. Everyone's line sucked. Pretty much every fanbase was lamenting how bad their team's OL was and there were media reports of coaches acknowledging the suck.

It's probably going to be the rule that offensive lines are objectively "bad" moreso than the exception going forward.

There were some good lines, but yeah more or less there was a lot of bad Offensive Line play. Either way, Britt is still not good at playing professional football.

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol

Here's a different take from PFF. While they note Seattle's struggles with pass blocking in 2016, they cite their run blocking amongst the best in the league.

And 30 out of 32 teams in pass blocking. I think I'd be mostly concerned about my expensive QB not being legally murdered.

30 out of 32 teams, with one of the best scrambling QB's in the entire NFL. That's with Russell Okung's bubble gum legs holding together for 13 out of 16 games.

I think we can all agree here that Wilson taking nearly 50 sacks is a lot different of a scenario than Smith taking about 50 sacks.

What, Wilson can't scramble?? :p

To be fair to Britt, I don't think he's a terrible player simply because he's just bad. I think a lot of it has to do with Tom Cable being vastly overrated and I'm sure his injuries are taking its toll over time.

Agreed. But I think to pin Seattles O-Line struggles with pass blocking mostly on Britt is a bit much. The whole line was garbage at pass blocking last year.

Again, not saying the dude is all pro or ever will be, I just wouldn't call him an NFL bust 2 seasons into his pro career, when he has started 32 of 32 games for his team.

Even PFF noted his improvement in blocking from the first half of last year to the second half.

Yeah, that's why I wrote that last post. I don't think it's all on him.

The definition of bust has changed I guess. He's a two year starter on a playoff team.

Yeah you must have some weird idea of what a bust is.

Looks like Maty Mauk ended up at Eastern Kentucky...

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-...132247515.html

Ha! Young guy that I work with played ball at EKU. I'm going to have to talk with him about this on Monday.

Read that Marquise Doherty is leaving Mizzou to go to a Junior College to focus on his baseball career....that make the RB core even thinner.

:facepalm:

The hits keep coming to the Missouri football team’s depth at running back.

Marquise Doherty, a redshirt freshman running back and also a member of MU’s baseball team, will transfer to a yet-to-be-determined junior college, PowerMizzou.com reported on Thursday. A team spokesman could not confirm Doherty’s impending transfer on Friday.

Doherty’s departure would leave Missouri with five scholarship running backs on the 2016 roster. Junior Ish Witter is the only one to carry the ball in a Tiger uniform. Joining him will be Oklahoma transfer Alex Ross, sophomore Trevon Walters, redshirt freshman Ryan Williams and freshman Damarea Crockett. The team also has walk-on Shaun Conway.


Missouri announced in February the signing of Nate Strong from Hinds Community College, but he reportedly won’t enroll at Missouri until January at the earliest, because he still needs to finish his junior college requirements.


Doherty was a four-star prospect coming out of Winnetonka High School in Kansas City, where he rushed for 1,037 yards and 15 touchdowns as a senior. He was drafted in the 15th round of the 2015 Major League Baseball draft by the Kansas City Royals, but he opted for MU instead of the minor leagues. He redshirted last fall with the football team before appearing in 12 games, including seven starts, this spring with the baseball team. An outfielder, Doherty batted .214 with four RBI.


MU football Coach Barry Odom had hoped Doherty would attend some spring football practices even with his participation on the baseball team, but Odom said during the final week of spring practice that Doherty had been unable to attend any spring practices. He also did not play in the spring game.


Witter led the team in rushing with 518 yards last season. Ross, a fifth-year senior, compiled 786 rushing yards during his OU career.


If Missouri is looking to add another running back to the roster, Baylor signee Kameron Martin might be an option. Martin, from Port Arthur, Texas, is among a group of Baylor signees who have reportedly requested their release from national letters of intent in the wake of Coach Art Briles’ dismissal.


ESPN reported that Martin, a four-star prospect, is interested in Missouri, TCU and Texas if Baylor gives him his release.


TIGHT END PLEDGES: Missouri picked up a verbal commitment for its 2017 signing class from an Illinois tight end on Thursday. Logan Christopherson of Lemont High School, located in the southwest Chicago suburbs, announced his pledge on Twitter.


“I’ve decided the best school to develop me as an athlete, student, and man is the University of Missouri!” Christopherson wrote on Twitter.


The 6-foot-6, 225-pound Christopherson is a three-star recruit, according to Rivals.com, 247Sports.com and Scout.com.


Lemont Coach Bret Kooi said Christopherson spent time attached to the line and split wide last season.


“His strengths are in the running game,” Kooi said. “I think he’s an extremely good blocker. He plays with that attitude or that little chip on his shoulder that you look for in good linemen or good blocking kids.”


Christopherson becomes Missouri’s fourth verbal commitment, joining offensive lineman Pompey Coleman from Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis, offensive lineman Hyrin White from DeSoto High School in Texas and athlete DaRon Davis from Kansas City’s Hogan Prep.

Welp

We are just seeing the beginning of kids walking away from football. All of this concussion stuff...I can't say that I blame them either, especially if they're most likely not going to get drafted. MU, while being pretty darn successful at getting kids drafted, hasn't exactly churned out a ton of RBs to the NFL.

Doherty has baseball potential as he's already been drafted into the MLB, but it stinks that he's going somewhere else to play. I wonder what the story is there?

The Royals drafted Doherty in the 15th round this year. The money he would have made wouldn't have been "life changing", particularly in the long term, so in the moment he declined. I don't know for sure, but I bet he regrets that decision right now.

As for why I can only speculate, but I would assume the abrupt retirement of Pinkel along with all the horseshit that transpired at Mizzou might have swayed him. Maybe Odom wasn't as high on him as Pinkel was, who knows. Marquise is a smart, well spoken, good kid. I wish him the best, wherever he lands.

Have heard some weird stuff re: Doherty, primarily that he didn't seem committed to football and was more interested in baseball.

He and Jamieson apparently didn't get along, which is no surprise to anyone.

Jamieson is an asshole.

Officially official, straight from Odom -



Missouri coach Barry Odom confirmed Tuesday that redshirt freshman running back Marquise Doherty was leaving the football program.

Doherty, a Winnetonka graduate, was drafted by the Royals in the 15th round of the 2015 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, but he opted for a two-sport career at Mizzou instead.

Now, Doherty has reversed course.

“He decided to pursue just baseball and indicated to me that he was going to enroll in junior college and just play baseball and try to make that work,” Odom said.

Doherty sat out last football season with the Tigers and played sparingly for the baseball team this spring. He batted .214 in 12 games, including seven starts, with a double and four RBIs.

“I wish him well,” Odom said. “Since baseball started in January, I really only had a chance to work with him one day. Baseball was really where he wanted to go moving forward, so I hope it works out awesome for him.”


http://www.kansascity.com/sports/col...e82408937.html

If he wants to play baseball he needs to transfer to Springfield.

You're like a hungry dog by the table waiting for the scraps to fall. LMAO

If he was transferring for football I would agree. Baseball we have the better program.

Jamieson is finally out after 22 years of fail.

Mizzou
