Ben Frederickson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch wrote a thought-provoking column the day after signing day last week.
In the wake of Missouri whiffing on all but one of the “Tiger 10,” Frederickson brought us a range of thoughts from coaches regarding that fact. Barry Odom was pretty nonchalant. Gotta get the players from somewhere, basically. Doesn’t matter if it’s Missouri, Texas or Timbuktu.
Assistants Derek Dooley, Cornell Ford and Andy Hill, though, said it’s vitally important for Missouri to do well in Missouri and succeed with players from the state and its environs.
I can kind of see both sides.
