It's never a blessing in disguise to lose out on a five-star player who has you in his final two. Never. Missouri invested a lot of time and energy in recruiting him ... with zero payoff. There's no positive there. It's impossible to speculate on how the roster would have changed had he signed with Mizzou. Why would it? Dru Smith and Mark Smith would be seniors when Love would have joined the roster. Neither would transfer. I guess you could wonder if Pinson or Watson would leave before their junior year, but I don't see how Love joining the team would make them want to leave.
