After a magnificent offseason, it's no longer 'if' for Charles Harris -- it's 'when'

Bill C.: Not even three years ago, Charles Harris was known as a recruiting novelty, a guy who randomly signed on Signing Day when no recruiting service had picked up on him even getting an offer. He had barely played football, and all even the Mizzou staff knew about him was that he had immense athletic potential.

He's starting to prove that potential. Last year, I was a little bit worried because he seemed a good step or two slower than Markus Golden and the other defensive ends. The potential was still there, but it wasn't immediately obvious if he was simply not as athletic as Golden and company, or if he was simply not playing at a truly instinctive level yet.
