Well, part of the reason I posted that was probably because I didn't really think his decision was a surprise since a lot of the more reputable "rumors" were saying he was likely leaving Columbia.

And on one hand, I completely agree with your take. It does make a huge difference and it'd be just completely awesome if we could seal the borders and keep every single piece of in-state talent. Truth is though, there are VERY FEW schools that keep every top 5 kid from their state every single year on a consistent basis. And for someone like Ofodile, who's lived in Columbia his entire life and has never really shown himself to be a unwavering Mizzou fan with a lifelong dream of playing for his hometown school. That being said, I think it's a mistake on his part to go to Oregon and that his pro potential would likely be helped more by playing in our offense.

Hopefully we land Beckner, land another receiver from one of the southeast states who we have offers out to, and lock down one of the better classes we've ever had.

So, it's understandable when the Davis twins go to Nebraska because their uncle played there (and it's in a different ****ing state) but "Oh well" when Ofodile, who lives in the mother****ing town, whose dad played there, and whose dad coaches the ****ing Rock Bridge team, goes to Oregon.

Stop settling.

Don't bother these homers can't get it in that skull. If it's not positive they're not hearing it.

I'm not "oh well" or understanding on either situation.

I have been resigned to Ofodile leaving for quite a while. That writing has been on the wall for a few months.

The Davis twins hurt. Talented, big kids that I hope Andy Hill is still dug in on. They were huge early favorites to Mizzou but we didn't get them locked up early enough and the Nebraska offer swayed them.

The Davis twins are ones that I can get irritated about......that should be one that we should get.

Regardless of whether or not the coach is a former KU grad, we should have dug in hard....it's losing kids like that I get irritated over.

I guess I don't lose as much sleep for the kids who don't really want to come here at all.
