Back when Gabe started to do his podcast with Tucker and Maggie on the KCSN, they brought in Coach CY before the season started. He mentioned how they were going to make a living in that 50-125 range when recruiting, and "hit a homerun" (5-star) every other class or so (he may have not used those exact words), as a program like Mizzou needs to stack players like that who will be 3-4 year great college players. As we can see, they have done just that with Pierce, Robinson, Butler, Barrett. I was curious to see what players were in that 50-125 4-star range, so I went back and looked at who was in there during the 2019-2021 recruiting cycles. In the end, it is pretty evident that there were a ton of pretty darn good college players there who are/were at their schools for 3-4 years +.
