Notice that all the guys I included are currently playing for the team right now.

Check out 2009. Our two stars outperformed our three, four, and five stars.
Not sure what it means, but it's interesting. http://rivals.yahoo.com/missouri/foo...09/missouri-22

What was his deal? He didn't seem to have much of an offer list.

Baseline? Nah. But it's a good goal.
I have a hard time seeing any class worse than that class as a 'bad' class, but any class better than that one would be a truly outstanding one for us. 2010 should be the goal but coming up short of that isn't a disaster. 2013, however, can't happen again. I still throw up a little bit every time I see that recruit list. I like some of the kids in there, but man the ceiling is just so low.

The move to the SEC should've helped us make inroads into Illinois as much as anywhere, but I don't think we're really focusing our efforts there. Snagging a few 4* guys that want to go play 'Bama, Florida, LSU and Georgia (and get on TV several times/yr) shouldn't be hard when they grew up a couple hundred miles from campus.

Mizzou should be able to pull top 25 classes year in, year out, IMO. If they can't, they've done something wrong.

I think it was in the 15-20 range. That's where we should be on average. 25 in a down year, 10 in a good year...

USC, Texas, Cal, Tennessee, etc. sure don't have much to show for that class.

I'd probably just be arguing over about 5 spots one direction or the other. Yeah, I can get behind that general goal.

Boy it is interesting, though - most years there are about 10 schools that just knock it out of the damn park.
From 11 to 30 or so, they're all pretty jumbled up - a single player could move you 5 spots forward or backwards very easily. We're probably not going to be one of the HR hitters, but yeah, being in that 2nd tier of schools along with damn near everyone else that we'll compete with annually seems like a fine goal. Even if you don't think it yields success, it does give insight into the perception of your school among the people you're trying to impress. If you can't bring talent in here, there's something wrong with the program.

Then August came and the whole damn thing just imploded. Man what a shitshow that turned into. By February I just wanted it to be over before we lost any of the remaining commits we had. Then it carried over into the 2014 class when we started losing early verbals as well. It really was a shitty few months there, wasn't it? In the end, keeping Printz was a minor miracle (even if I think he's doomed to the Chase Patton role as Mauk's backup until the next kid comes along and laps him as a senior).
