Sitting here this morning, with June 7 come and gone, Missouri has four football commitments for the recruiting class of 2018.
That number lags behind the average SEC team — which has 7.6 at this point, according to Rivals.com -- and ties for 12th among league teams. Moreover, the Tigers’ national Rivals ranking (No. 63) is last in the SEC, one spot behind 13th-place team Alabama and its two commitments.
Those slackers...
But, while this slow of a recruiting start is rather out of the ordinary for Alabama, it’s not that far off the norm for Missouri.
