Do *****<--- matter yet?

No they don't . How many stars was Justin Britt? Can't college teams just outwork everyone else like private schools in MO Football? Does talent matter?
You sir, have issues.
If you can honestly watch MU and say stars don't matter, then you're in denial.
As for UNC, what was the score of the FAU/Florida game?
As did I. I was thoroughly confused for a while.....
Kenny,
Mizzou is not good on offense due more to other factors rather than taking 3 stars and turning them into SEC caliber players. Obviously the Mizzou defense is in good shape...and still very young. Losing 2 guys that's it, unless Harris jumps.
The offensive issues stem from a few recruiting classes in 2012 (DGBs) that haven't panned out, injured, or kids have left or been forced to leave;
Boehm, Newsome, Scherer, Hansbourough, and Golden (from juco and gone) have panned out nicely.
Gone from that class are Mauk, Boozer, DGB, Ka'ra Stewart, Williams OL (was a big texas get at time), Holifield, cuffee, Levi Copeland.
Injured Steward RB and Brantly car wreck. RB Walters (Manatee HS) also has suffered injuries.
2013 class 4 star chase Abbington has to go to JUCO and shows up late this year and not ready to play. Natearance Strong ESL RB is at JUCO, he had offers from Ohio State and several other Blue bloods.
Many of the starting OL are from the 2011 class. They red shirted and to be honest many aren't that good. Mcgovern was a good guard this season and has been moved to tackle and it hasn't been successful.
No one ever wanted to start Drew Lock...he didn't even graduate early like most that do start. He will be fine. THe WR core are all freshman and sophomores due to Copeland and DGB being gone.
I know you don't really care but it's just been a combination of skill guys and OL that are either not quite ready, haven't developed, were kicked out, or had to go to JUCO. There have been a lot of factors that have led to the poor offense. When you don't have a top 10 class every year the depth is certainly an issue but there has been things happen that have been out of Mizzou's control with this group as well.

Kenny I asked you simple questions.
What was Britt's star rating? Willie Mo? Mitch Morse?
Can a team not just outwork everyone else like happens in high school (or so I've read on MOsports)? Why or why not?
Talent matters. Some guy that didn't play or coach 'ranking' players doesn't. He's just in it to make money. Some simpletons buy into that.
Your buddy from SG putting you in your place was nice.
I don't think he was disagreeing with what I said. And he's not from Ste. Gen. At least as far as I know. You think MU is the only team to lose starters to injuries etc?? Those who recruit well can still put together a team that will at least be average. Mizzou's offense is god awful. They should not be if they're so great at developing talent as you preach when they do win.
It's funny, we'll hear all about these two star players Mizzou puts out when they win, but you're not blaming them when they lose.
You're comparing high school to college? Really?
Stars are not the end all but there is a rock solid correlation between teams with 4-5 star players and national champions. Some teams do more with less. Some teams do less with more. The champions are the teams that do more with more. It is no more complicated than that.
Football is football no matter the level. Why can't a college team 'outwork the competition' and make everyone else 'get better'? Oh yeah..that doesn't fit your narrative. Either talent wins or it doesn't.
Mizzou is playing all sophs and frosh . Thus...the talent hasnt been developed. The Oline is mainly a result of 2 big misses IMO. One of those started every game in his career at A&M IIRC. Not too shabby.
