Still not much to report on the offensive line. We were told a few days ago that the staff thinks they found some guys but won't offer until they do more due diligence on them. They are trying to keep things a little quiet so they're not going to be following anyone new on twitter until an offer is extended.

It sounds like the focus will be on junior college prospects and immediately eligible transfers. Was told staff still isn't even sure how many OL they want to add. Will probably depend on how many of their early targets turn out to be legit.

At running back we mentioned in The Chamber that Thomas McDonald had heard a little from some Mizzou GA's and analysts. Sounds like just starting an early dialogue.



Gil'Scott Jackson is another 2016 running back that has been talking with lower level Mizzou coaches on twitter. He said he hears from them once or twice a week. Same kind of 'getting to know each other' type messages.



There's a decent chance that neither of these guys end up being serious targets. We were told that Mizzou has some guys in mind, but no specific targets at this point. I'd imagine the Mizzou staff is taking the same approach of keeping names quiet (off twitter). Either way we'll follow both positions as closely as possible. Spring break has been quiet, but it'll be over soon.
