Through familial and friendly associations, I'm around Arky Fan more than I'd like to be. They were having a pretty solid jerk to the hiring of, I kid you not, Bobby Petrino. He was going to make Arky a force in the SEC.
Today, they're much more focused on complaining about NIL and how "they" need to get rid of it and how big bad Mizzou is stealing their guys. It's ****ing gold. [Reply]
Hopefully Mizzou can maintain this momentum once it's become fully apparent how fucking ridiculous the current portal rules are and stricter regulations are put in place. But until then, WEEHEEEEEEEEEE [Reply]
Fringe 4* recruit (depends on the service); appears to come in the 6-8 range on our recruit list. Probably similar to Cameron Keys in terms of 'prospect value'. [Reply]

I do feel like there's a little grade inflation. Or maybe it's just leaning more and more have/have nots.
I mean for all the momentum we have, this is what - a 20th ranked class? It might be (might be) a top 10 class in the SEC?
It's talent beyond anything we've ever brought in, but man, the entire SEC is just cleaning up. We're not exactly gaining a ton of ground on our peer groups here.
Georgia's class is just hilarious. So is Oklahoma's. 20+ 4* or better recruits there. Oklahoma has eighteen four-star guys and that's good for 4th in the SEC.
We might end up with 5?
The arms race is still just completely looney tunes. [Reply]

Of course stars are bought by subscribers to sites as well. Funny how that works. [Reply]

That's why it's hard to get excited. Would be an amazing class in the current Big 12, but damn is looking at these other SEC hauls rather deflating.

Quality vs Quantity when it comes to rankings. I don't know how much of a difference there is between 26-50 but I don't think there's been a playoff team that hasn't had at least 1 top 5 class [Reply]
Quite a bit of smoke starting to develop around Wingo and Mizzou flipping him at the last minute....don't know if it'll happen but sounds like a possibility... [Reply]
