He's supposed to be the bag man.
It's a combination of all factors. The ratings are generally pretty reliable. The player's frame is another important factor. Missouri has built a great DL by taking athletes and maxing out their frames. They aren't always long-armed guys, but they usually have explosive athleticism. Finally, the offer sheet is much like a scout's grade prior to the draft. Obviously great players fall through the cracks, but it doesn't happen very often.

The offer list/star rankings are decent points of reference, but they aren't close to the be-all, end-all.

For every one of those there are 100 that done pan out. Look at the top recruiting class's every yr. Same teams are the ones in the top 25 consistently. It's one of the biggest things holding this regime back.
No one ever said every 2 * is garbage or that every 4* is great. But as Hamas said the ratings are generally reliable.

The low * guys can pan out, but the rate of failure is significantly higher and your margin for error with your roster is subsequently lower. If you don't do a good job cultivating depth at that position, you end up with guys like Matt White playing safety, and Matt White ****ing sucks.

We made out like bandits there, really, if you think we were likely to lose a game somewhere along the way anyhow, and what could have happened with a backup. Mauk gets game experience and Franklin comes back at the right time.
Mauk will get better, but Franklin is the unquestioned starter right now. I am not as big a fan of him as some are, but I don't think there is any question the team is best with him. I'm excited to see what he will do after having two weeks to get ready. |

I'm convinced that one more first down at any point in the 4th quarter of that ballgame ices it. That would've been a better experience for our QBOTF...

I'm sure the fans around us were not pleased. I got more and more depressed as that game wore on and realized what we'd yacked away the week before. I essentially had to forget it ever happened.

You took that loss about as hard as I can imagine someone taking one. I feel bad for you.
