I'll admit that i'm partial because I was cool with his dad and former Mizzou Tiger Lou Shepherd that past away about a month ago (RIP); but I remember that all this kid wanted to do was to play for Mizzou. They said that Mizzou wanted him to walk on, but they couldn't afford it especially with Lou's failing health. He was a stud at Blue Springs on a state winning team, but was considered too short for many standards. I think Mizzou and many others missed on this kid!
