Hochman: Trolling with recruiting rolling, Mizzou’s Eli Drinkwitz follows Lane Kiffin’s footsteps

Kidding, of course, but the Mizzou football coach has become an acclaimed troll on social media and television, recently roasting the likes of Michigan, Tennessee and, this week, rival Arkansas.

So Courtney Crutchfield is a four-star receiver out of Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Per the recruiting site 247Sports, Crutchfield is the No. 51 prospect in the nation. Crutchfield planned to stay home and play for the Razorbacks — until last weekend’s visit to Mizzou.

Drinkwitz couldn’t talk (or tweet) publicly about recruits by name until Wednesday’s signing day. But on Tuesday, Drinkwitz went to X (previously known as Twitter) to put up a flare with some flair.
