Recruiting-- Top 20 from KC, MO...where are they going?

[WFBuckely]

He hasn't posted anything on Twitter.
I've been wondering this since NIL began. Phil Knight could buy the entire roster with "NIL Scholarships" with his money inside a collective. I've been thinking about it from the Ivy League perspective. They don't give athletic scholarships, but a few of their alumni that like sports could create many opportunities especially in the smaller sports. Heck, in basketball buy 2-3 difference makers and you could make a tournament run.

That thing is a done deal. But we’re talking about a guy that’s in the top 25% of the pool for the NFL combine for TEs at age 17. 20 reps on the bench at 225. Has squatted over 600 pounds in competitions. Runs around a 4.7. Has good hands. Broad jumps nearly 10 feet and vertical over 35. Mizzou who?

Mizzou never offered but why would they. Nobody else did,cant even find a rivals profile. More like Zach who?

He is an Oregon Duck, who are you?

NDSU, Arkansas State, Tulsa, Lindenwood, Murray State, Fordham, Army, Navy all came in with early offers. On3 had him going to Navy 100%. Late PWO offers from K-State and Wyoming. Not sure why no Rivals profile. But to say "Nobody else did" is incorrect.

MIzzou who? They the team that gonna win two games in the SEC this year. 2018 since the last winning season? That recor elicits the Texas prayer, "Jezuz H Christ!"

Only profile i found was on3 and Navy was the only scholarship offer. No ill will towards the kid..hope he has success at Oregon and earns a full ride.

PrepRedZone, SixStar, Twitter. I follow all of the top 50 players or so. The kid had like 7 offers as of last summer. I reported all of the D1 offers for all the top players in KC on a separate post last year. Rivals is not the end-all-be-all of sources.

Mid-level steel management was notoriously overpaid in the late 20th century. Bosco may have the co jones to get this done!

Bosko's profile bio even mentions being mill manager of the Ampipe mill. And we can't forget Bosko's questionable booster club fund raising.

You might be onto something here!

Bosko is silent because he is in fund raising mode.

Nice article on Grace. Always good to have family close by that far away from home.

Who is your college team Joey?

NW Missouri State
K State
I actually like Mizzou. Just decades of frustration.
I would definitely pull for any MIAA team that’s in the playoffs. Just like I pull for any Kansas City team in the playoffs I’m any sport, especially if they’re from the north land including PC, Smithville, Kearney, Excelsior, Liberty, Liberty North, Tonka, Oak Park.

No other program does more with less than kstate,not a fan but cant deny how impressive they've been. Mizzou will have their hands full in como this year.

SEC East is on the major rise and it isn't just because UGA is now the undisputed best CFB program in the Nation................

 

[TheRealJoey]

Three conference championships in five seasons. Like 52-13. I’d say in a conference as competitive as the MIAA that he a winner. He has a winning record in the postseason as well and maybe it’s not where everybody wants it to be but that’s pretty damned good.

Mizzou is in very good shape with two 5*. Even Georgia is taking notice on their boards. Problem is you may be top 25 in recruiting but that may get you 10th in the SEC. That conference is just brutal.

I agree with all of that. Also with him as a defensive minded coach, I'd like to see him bring in someone a little stronger to run the offense.

Getting word now the decision is being pushed back to September which may not bode well for OU.

Yes sir. Thought maybe OU would hold the edge in that series.

No I knew they've been behind in that since the disastrous 90s.

 

[MoSooner69]

In modern day, the Sooners do own the matchup. But the rivalry goes all the way back to 1900. OU only won 11 of the first 42 matchups. Tough hole to dig out of.

Not last year my goodness. I "think" that was an anomaly, though.

odd that game is (almost) never a blow out.

I said before I thought the HC hire was bad and I still do. He loses to texass like that again and he may be gone.

I was at that 2019 game which told me two things that verified: 1) Jalen Hurts will be a major NFL QB and 2) OU had an awful D (beyond exposed vs. the LSU all stars that New Year's Eve). As for the upcoming season gotta say no real read except I do not expect Brent and Co. to just be able to wave some magic wand and return OU to 10+ wins. Why I would give him one more year no matter what happens in 2023.

In the SEC, Oklahoma will be Nebraska part Duex.

 

[MoSooner69]

Will they dominate? NO CHANCE.. will they be a bottom dweller? NO CHANCE

 

[thetophat2021]

Maybe early on. We shall see. I get instant recruiting alerts on my iPhone like what I am seeing there and at Sooner Sports BUT it won't be fixed overnight. Freaking Riley stripped the program clean especially offensively.

 

[cru66]

Agree with this. They wont have cupcake schedules like this years schedule. I dont think venables is the answer long term but with the right coach OU should be able to compete at a high level.

 

[BoosterBosko]

You’re describing a nightmare scenario In which someone like BOSKO, were he to become fabulously Wealthy, Could potentially provide unlimited NIL money to stock the players of Westminster University in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. They could potentially become a Division 2 powerhouse.

All on the whim of some fat drunken booster.

Mid-level steel management was notoriously overpaid in the late 20th century. Bosco may have the co jones to get this done!

Bosko's profile bio even mentions being mill manager of the Ampipe mill. And we can't forget Bosko's questionable booster club fund raising.

You might be onto something here!

Bosko is silent because he is in fund raising mode.

Okay you bozos and clowns!!! I've been on summer hiatus and I come back to THIS nonsense?? I can tell there is LOTS for me to catch up on. Guess I'll start HERE!

"Fat drunken booster"!?!? I have RETIRED from the Booster Club!!! "Overpaid" "Bosco"!?!!? I was paid a very FAIR wage!!! It took me years to work my way up the ranks at the mill. And my name is BOSKO!!! "Fund raising mode"!? I was on summer HIATUS!!!! And a true booster is ALWAYS in fundraiser mode!!! "Questionable booster club fund raising"!?!? Every allegation against me and the club I ran has NEVER been proven in a court of law! I ran a CLEAN CLUB!! NICE TRY BOZOS!!!!!

Okay then. Average dark money passing to coaches in Missouri from the boosters? You can estimate from PA numbers.

Let's just say, HYPOTHETICALLY, if one were to run a booster club in MISSOURI, what would one expect to slide into an envelope monthly for the coaching STAFF? Hypothetically, of course.
