This is new.

Not since college football recruiting services started assigning hotel-like star rankings to high school players has a Missouri coach crammed so much highly regarded talent from far away into one single class.

We’re not talking about out-of-state as in just across the Kansas and Illinois borders, either.

We’re talking about a four-star (though one scouting service says five) quarterback from Big Ten country (Matt Zollers) helping convince not one but two four-star receivers in Florida (Jayvan Boggs and Donovan Olugbode) to join him in verbally committing to Mizzou.
