Wanted to go through the database (which dates back to 2002) and come up with an all-Missouri team from the Rivals era. This is not Mizzou, but rather players who are listed as in-state Missouri recruits in our database. This is based on their college careers, not on their high school ranking. I will run a 4-3 on defense, a three-receiver, one-tight end, one-back set on offense. The linemen are just five offensive linemen, not broken down by position. Same for linebackers (no inside/outside) and defensive backs, which our database doesn't break into corners and safeties. These are obviously just my opinions. In the coming weeks, I'll do an all-KC and all-St Louis team. I'll also do this for hoops. Here's what I came up with:
OFFENSE
QUARTERBACK: Blaine Gabbert
Runner-Up: Josh Freeman
RUNNING BACK: Montee Ball
Runner-Up: Ezekiel Elliott
Also considered: Laurence Maroney, Tony Temple, Derrick Washington
WIDE RECEIVER: Jeremy Maclin, Dorial Green-Beckham, Marvin McNutt
Runners-Up: Jehu Chesson, Tommy Saunders, Marcus Lucas
Also considered: William Franklin, TJ Moe
TIGHT END: Chase Coffman
Runner-Up: Martin Rucker
OFFENSIVE LINE: Tim Barnes, Evan Boehm, Justin Britt, Donald Stephenson, Roderick Johnson
Runners-Up: Adam Spieker, Tyler Luellen, Keith Williams, Zach Kendall, Andrew Lewis
DEFENSE
DEFENSIVE END: Markus Golden, Adrian Clayborn
Runners-Up: Aldon Smith, Kony Ealy
DEFENSIVE TACKLE: Sheldon Richardson, Sylvester Williams (played HS in MO before juco)
Runners-Up: Maliek Collins, Terrell Resonno
LINEBACKER: Will Compton, Brock Christopher, Wayne Chambers
Runners-Up: Kevin Kane, Michael Scherer, Quentin Davie
Also considered: Sal Capra, Van Alexander
DEFENSIVE BACK: E.J. Gaines, William Moore, Phillip Strozier, Jairus Byrd
Runners-Up: Justin Thornton, Aarion Penton, Darnell Terrell, Dexter McDonald
I'll admit I may very well have missed some people. Or I may have made some errors in judgment. Will be interested to see what you all think here.
