[JNsDaddyzDaddyIownU]

I looked at this a few years ago. Here is what I found in this year's signing class:


William Jewell College; 28/33 are Missouri kids. 85%
Truman State 22/26 are Missouri kids. 85%
SW Baptist: 32/47 68%
Northwest Missouri State: 13/35 are Missouri kids. 37.1%
UCM 15/44 are Missouri kids. 34% (22% of their total 2023 team is from Texas.)
Missouri Southern 11/44 25%
Missouri Western. 7/35 20%

I think Willie Fritz started that UCM trend back in 97' with Texas. I think he brought a large amount of players from his Blinn JUCO titles

These MIAA teams bring in some heat. Transfers from P5s. Some Dudes. Esp the skills players.

They hired a new President in 2021. There were accreditation issues in 2022 that did not have to do with finance or academics, but in tenure of long-term professors.
