Recruiting's winter dead period began yesterday; it will end on January 13, and Missouri will begin a three-week sprint to National Signing Day. One assumes that Barry Odom will have his staff in place by then (lord, I hope so -- we've been ready to talk about new staff members for quite a damn while now), and it will be interesting to see who Odom and company choose to pursue.
With last week focused mostly on affirming previous commitments and landing a couple of new ones (Trevour Simms, Marvin Terry), I thought this might be a good time to step back and collect ourselves a bit.
