Just thought it might be interesting to see who'd be on the team if we really did seal the borders (and stretched the borders a bit) to include the metro Stl and Kc areas. I apologize if I messed up any of their classes, but tried to only include players that would still be on campus (barring going to the NFL early), also took a few liberties about redshirting most players. Also, this is generally a list of players Mizzou had recruited, so Missouri guys that didn't have Mizzou offer generally aren't on the list. You'd have 69 Scholarship Players. A little weak at QB & CB. I also placed Marquise Doherty at S due to extreme depth at RB.
