MIZ DGB!!!

Oh and if Mizzou had lost out on DGB, he'd be bashing them up and down for letting him get out of state, not being able to keep him "home", how the SEC is a failure, blah blah blah.

I'm not sure he'd be "bashing MU for letting him leave"... but he'd definitely be going with the angle of "those level of recruits don't go to MU, that's what makes the SEC different"...something along those lines

I thought it was hilarious that he led off with the KSU/ISU basketball game. Two unranked teams playing each other the night before was the lead topic on his show. Meanwhile, a local team landing the #1 recruit in the country wasn't mentioned until the second segment.

A KSU fan is bound to pop in and call him BITB. He may be best in the business, but he's worst in the ratings.

I wnet from listening daily to only listening when he's just been. Kicked in the nuts. Today was one of those days.

DGB is the #17 Google search in the US.

UGA 8th.......in the SEC? LOL ok Rivals.

Only reason Mizzou's team ranking is so low across the board is because their class size is small compared to other SEC schools...5-10 more recruits and they'd be a lot higher.

Still way low according to Rivals even with what they got.

I'd agree with this more if their average star rating was higher. They're 10th in the SEC in that category and of the 12 SEC teams I listed the average class size is 22, so theirs isn't significantly smaller.

I figured you would be in here giving the SEC credit for the signing.

Come on, Doug. I said no such thing.

If MU had a few more recruits they would have a good shot at jumping Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, and Arkansas. If you go look at the rankings, Vandy is 29th, MSU 30th, Arkansas 31st, and MU 32nd. Vandy and MU are separated by 80 points, which is the equivalent to a few mid three stars.

I don't disagree. Mizzou should have better recruiting classes than Vandy and MSU.

You've got to consider the recruiting landscape, though. Mizzou spent a year or even more in some cases recruiting players to a Big XII school. Texas is our biggest state to recruit from, and we successfully used the pitch that the kids could play in Texas several times over their time at Mizzou.

When we left to the SEC, all the Texas kids who signed on to Mizzou because of their ability to play in Texas suddenly had no compelling reason to stay. There are plenty of kids who will want to play for Mizzou in the SEC. We'll just have to target those kids in the future.

I don't understand this. Mizzou got the #1 recruit and the highest rated o-linemen in the schools history yet they are rated behind Nebraska who only has 16 commits.

I haven't read all the articles, but...


Is the general impression that Mizzou's move to the SEC helped DGB make the decision to go there... or would they have a really good shot even without the move?

I don't know what other people are saying, but I doubt the SEC move really mattered that much in this case. Mizzou's the in-state school, has been recruiting him for years, and has an offensive system that he fits.

Just an uninformed opinion, but to me it seems that it worked as an equalizer. Being in the SEC was something Arkansas had going for it that Mizzou didn't. Now that Mizzou is in the SEC, that distinction no longer exists. Same thing for A&M. I guess I'm getting a little nervous about UofA recruiting with new members of the conference moving in from two new states that surround us. I suppose it's a two-way street, though. UofA will also get more exposure in those states now.
