You want to hear a controversial opinion? Here goes: It’s good to take recruits from conference opponents. Be it through NIL offers, playing time promises or simply being that much better than the other team, swiping a commitment from a conference rival is extremely cool and fun. I honestly think Mizzou should do it more often!
Mizzou needed to shore up their running back room this class with the upcoming departures of Nate Noel and Marcus Carroll. And with long-time commt Jamarion Morrow flipping to Texas A&M — hmmm, I actually don’t like it when that happens to us — the staff needed a quick pivot.
