I know I know alot of folks don't care where the talent comes from, but it actually makes a difference. These past couple of years I couldn't get any of my friends to come to a Mizzou football game. Now with Jalani and CJ signing 3 of my friends has already hit me up about coming to games next year. So that's 3 additional 3 tickets being sold because instate kids signed with Mizzou. Instate kids helps fills seats. That's the only way to get the casual fan to make the drive to Columbia. Winning helps as well, but whether it's school, the neighborhood, coaching the kid or playing ball with the kid, all those relationships are reasons to come watch them play. You wouldn't get much support from out of state kids outside of the immediate family. Just putting something out there since my friends hit me up about coming to games next year.
