I know its cool to get a 5 star, but he wasn't a must get as far as positional need. More of a must get for recruiting optics and momentum. I know our NIL is strong, but it can now be stretched further without him.
NEW STORY THE CHAMBER: OCTOBER 27TH 2023

No
Nobody said McClellan was a no go. I don’t view at as likely but the whole point was it is more likely with Wingo at UT than at MU

Really wondering how Mizzou handles the instate 2025 class. It is not nearly as deep as the last few years. While the NIL rule will favor instate, its not a great class to really take advantage of instate blue chippers. I don't see any scenario where Mozee is a Mizzou Tiger, and he is the only 4* uncommitted. Parker is there and would be a good pickup but he is already committed to arky, why that is beats me.
I think they sign portal guys to manage the 2 deep.
If you look at the attrition from the 21 class and likely the attrition form the 22 class.....I think if a HS guy is not playing by year 2 that they end up transferring.
Terrible? What’s wrong with you people. The only thing in there was that the pie in the sky best case most historic scenario is that wingo and mcclellen as a duo aren’t coming here and also just themselves aren’t likely coming here.
If your standard is multiple five stars and flipping high fours from blue bloods then you aren’t cut out to be an above average P5 program recruiting fan.
I'll believe Sprague is flippable when something concrete happens, and I mean on Sprague's side, not Michigan. I don't think Harbaugh's situation is as big a factor because I believe Sherrone Moore will get a close look and might be the favorite to be Harbaugh's replacement.
I'm not deeply concerned with how the rest of this class shapes up because I believe the surge from the on field improvement will first appear in the winter portal period.

How about this positive... the two recruits we offered early when they had little interest from P5 programs are blowing up and getting Bama and LSU offers? i.e. this staff can evaluate which is every bit as important as recruiting.
Honestly, if this season finishes the way we all hope, I think the bounce in-state will come with next year's class and the portal. While the class rank is mid-40s now, I'm really encouraged by the average star rating of our commits, we have a lot of quality in that smaller group. It's also nice to see the STA kids from Florida seem bought in and are solid.
Last I checked, Drinkwitz fixed the entire defense thru the portal in 2022 and bolstered the offensive line and WR room thru the portal in 2023.
Failing to get HS recruits doesn’t have the same impact it once did.
Losing Wingo stinks but we’ve got a ton of talent at WR.
Now we’ve likely got some free’d up NIL to get instant impact players at bigger positions of need in the portal.

It’s a blessing in disguise. More spots to go portaling. Next season has a favorable schedule and playoffs should be the goal.
And one of them I told you is almost certainly staying and they’re seeing the other one tonight. Would it be better if good teams didn’t offer the players Missouri wants?
I don't think it's over with Mcclellan at all. It may not be "likely" or imminent but he's still listening.
I don't have have direct inside sources at all but I do have coaching friends (they coach other sports not at CBC but who are plugged in a little bit with coaches) who've been told that his interest is real and they said there's no reason to think Wingo not coming changes that.
I wouldn't take this as confirmation of anything though because it's all grapevine type stuff. No one I've talked to actually talks to the kid.
I almost didn't post it because of the so vague but it is was it is.

Lot of woe is me posters in this thread. Never change.
You’re the one crying like the world ended here. Knowing that Williams is pretty locked in and seeing where the coaches were recruiting their tails off sure was upsetting.
Also Wingo is also old news now
What club was open at 9:41 a.m.???
While I'd obviously like us to land more of these top in-state kids, I truly believe the transfer portal has made it far less critical. A good chunk of our starters right now are kids that didn't sign with Mizzou out of high school.
If Drink and Co can continue to get impact talent via the portal, it will mitigate these losses ...and there's always a decent chance some of these kids don't get the early PT they were expecting at the blue bloods and transfer home.

I’m thankful for Brady, Burden and Schrader.
Can you imagine the disaster recruiting would be in STL if those three weren’t playing so well this season.

If I was you I wouldn't handle anything sharp today or step near the ledge of a tall building. man, it isn't that bad. The class is full of high quality prospects, we just haven't hit the 20 number to get full points in Rivals ranking system. We're doing well and Wingo flaking out to Texas doesn't change that. We have 4 star LB guys from Arkansas and Florida in the class, when was the last time that happened?
Go towards downtown STL, cross the river, then exit.
You sound just like my AA sponsor.
This guy is from Baton Rouge...I would think he wants to play in the SEC...
I think you missed my point. It wasn't a criticism..it was a compliment.
With a Little push in the remaining games johnson might have better freshman stats than Luther in some areas. not saying he’s Luther, but this guy’s a hidden gem.
Unfortunately there are closer sec options
