This will be Missouri’s eighth year in the big, bad ESS-EEE-CEE.
The Tigers have had some good years (2013-14), some bad years (2012, 2015-16) and some meh years (2017-18).
With the way the roster, schedule and the rest of the league are shaping up for 2019, Missouri has a real shot to land between “meh” and “good.” Let’s call it “plus-meh.”
With that in mind, I went back from 2012 on and looked position by position to pick out the top group the Tigers have boasted at each spot, then evaluated the chances this year’s team has at equaling the best of the recent past.
