Starts by thanking fans, the campus, recruiting staff and everyone involved to help recruiting efforts. "A lot of selfless people who do anything to sell this university."
Top 25 recruiting class for third time in four years. Only been done twice in the prior 20 years.
Have to win line of scrimmage in the SEC that's why they got three DEs.
Feel strongly about LB core with Nicholas Rodrguez and Brian Huff.
The 4 OL who signed today will be here in January.
Said Williams Nwaneri has been an oak. He never worried about Nwaneri flipping.
Believes Nwaneri helped in the recruiting efforts.
He had 8 in-home visits in a 36-hour period last week. He saw Elias Williams, Ft. Lauderdale and "places he can't speak on yet."
Went to Kewan Lacy's home the night the Cotton Bowl was announced.
Momentum is key and there's been a lot of positive momentum on social media in the last 72 hours to 10 days.
ATH Jude James can play LB or nickel or H-back. ATH Austyn Dendy can be RB, WR, or S. But they will determine their roles in the spring.
All 20 signees looked at Mizzou as an opportunity to compete.
Told players in October this is the most fun he's had coaching.
Knows they will lose guys after the bowl game to the NFL and graduation.
Kirby and Baker were told to be uniquely themselves. Both have done good jobs of demanding excellence but relating to the players. Also have dramatically improved players.
Said pay attention to social media the next 48 hours that something on Baker and Moore will be released (something positive).
Not much has changed as far as how they're pitching themselves to kids. They just have the tangible results of this year to back it up.
Can't speak on transfers at this moment.
Still have a few positions of need but won't advertise them right now. Not desperate for a position right now. So seems like a best available situation going forward.
Ohio State has elite players at every position. It will be a difficult game for the Tigers. Feels good about Mizzou's prep so far. Have to worry about reacting and defending Devin Brown.
One of the best defenses they've played all season, if not the best. Elite players at the LOS, LB and in the secondary.
Have to win LOS on both sides of the ball to win this game.
