Pete Scantlebury Four-star Lee's Summit West OL Evan Boehm has informed me that he decommitted from #Mizzou this evening.
FavoriteRetweet
Evan Boehm I really am sorry its one of the toughtest things I've had to do! Mizzou is still on my list I'm just confused right now! sorry guys
FavoriteRetweet
So Evan Boehm is, for now at least, no longer a Mizzou commitment. That is, I believe, either three or four decommits over the past few weeks. There are two reactions you can take here:
1) Recruiting is falling apart, and Mizzou is doomed.
2) Wait and see.
I assume you know which one I am going to take. First, we should acknowledge that the move to the SEC has potentially had some negative short-term consequences that we didn't necessarily expect. Well, the move to the SEC, combined with a 4-5 start to the season, a fantastic season from Arkansas (which is getting some visits from Mizzou commits) and, now, the head coach getting a DWI and suspension.
Mizzou has rebounded on the field, and I'm sure PInkel will make quite the barnstorming, hat-in-hand trip to quite a few recruits' houses once the Kansas game is over. Maybe that will stem the tide. (Remember: this time last year, Mizzou fans were freaking the hell out because Sheldon Richardson had committed to USC.) And maybe it won't. Maybe all of the potentially angry Kansas City folks are in Evan Boehm's ear like the StL folks were in Adrian Clayborn's ear way back when, and maybe he'll find a school he just likes more. Maybe one of the Texas kids who decommitted a while back will still sign. Or ... maybe this is a lost recruiting class.
Recruiting truly is its own sport. You win or lose battles and classes, then you go back to watching the games on the actual playing field, and maybe the wins and losses will eventually coincide with real wins and losses. Mizzou survived the loss of Clayborn in recruiting, just as they turned the 'lost' recruiting class of 2005 into a game-changer. Similarly, a lot of the most highly-touted players from the highly-ranked 2010 recruiting class (Nick Demien, Tyler Gabbert, Tristen Holt, Jimmie Hunt) have failed to produce just yet. As we've discussed many times, recruiting rankings are all about odds; the better the recruit or class, the better odds of success. But the last decade of Mizzou Football has done nothing but prove that good or bad odds are not guarantees.
If Mizzou were to crash and burn in recruiting this year ... if they weren't to sign a single recruit ... they would still be pretty good next year, and they would get another recruiting class to shore up the failures from this one. You can absorb the impact of a poor recruiting class as long as you redouble your efforts and don't let it happen again. It would be a damn shame if this year -- with such high-end talent in the state of Missouri -- was the year all of these factors came together to ruin a recruiting class, but Mizzou will move on and hope it doesn't cost them next year. That's really all you can say. Maybe Boehm still becomes a Tiger, and hell, maybe DGB joins him. But if or when they don't, Mizzou will still be pretty good next year, and they'll have a chance to rectify recruiting after all the internal and external factors that have slowed them down this year.

Recruiting
I guess we will have to wait and see but the trend certainly isn’t good right now. I guess I am just not feeling very optimistic right now especially with what happened to our 2011 basketball recruiting class. Generally waiting until the last minute to fill scholarships is not a good thing.
Like Bill said
As we’ve discussed many times, recruiting rankings are all about odds; the better the recruit or class, the better odds of success.
And it’s a catch 22: the better you recruit, the better your odds of winning games, and the more games you win, the better the odds are of landing the recruits you want. But that means to improve in both you need to either a) land recruits you really have no business landing or b) win games you have no business winning.
It’s also about odds from the recruit’s point of view, because they want to be a part of a program that’s going to give them the best chance to play and be successful, and right now there’s a lot of unknowns around our program. Ultimately, we want kids that want to play Mizzou football in the SEC. If they don’t want what we’re offering, that’s fine, it’s better for everyone if they go somewhere else. But if they want to be part of a program that’s about to explode back to national prominence in college football’s premier conference, well, we have a place for them.

It was totally awesome.
I was worried b/c the last time I saw the Tigers play a game at Sprint, my husband & I didn’t speak for two days. Before we left, I said that we were not favored (my only knowledge was Bill’s prediction). I just wanted to lower expectations.
And alas – no need to worry. We totally kicked their butt.

Kind of indicative of the times.
The words; commit/commitment, contract, promise and agreement, all mean sh*t these days. I would hope some of these recruits would get the pacifier out of there mouths and stand for something (as long as it is Mizzou). The odds are looking better for players like Evan B. when he will be on an offensive line with other talented players with a potential of Maty and possibly even DGB. I personally want players who will want to step up to the challenge and play solely because mommy and daddy will be there. Mommy and daddy will make it to plenty of games, even if they are just home games.

Really?
High school kids, making what is probably the most important decision of their young lives, and you are going to admonish them for having a change of heart when the school they committed to is making arguably the most significant change in its history?
In other words, I believe your judgment to be unnecessarily harsh.
yeah, that's the nature of the game.

by threadkiller on Nov 22, 2011 8:22 AM CST up reply actions
High school kids sign up for the military and have made bigger commitments throughout history at that age group.
We have gone from a society where a man’s word or a handshake meant everything. When I hear of anybody giving a “verbal commit”, I don’t believe it until they are enrolled at that school. Yes, somebody like Evan has the right to change his mind when a school like Mizzou changes the conditions after a commit but at the same time, I question the logic and reasoning of why the decommit at this point.
by McZou on Nov 22, 2011 8:39 AM CST via mobile up reply actions
I agree completely
I respect the way DGB went about things. He’s kept quiet, hasn’t made any promises, so if he picks against Mizzou it’s all above the board. I know there are legitimate reasons for decommitting; sanctions, the Penn State mess, realizing that Turner Gill lied to you and that Kansas doesn’t actually play football. If you’re decommitting because the record just isn’t what you think it should be, that to me is just taking the path of least resistance. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. “I was worried that the school couldn’t compete in the SEC so all of the recruits left and now Mizzou can’t compete which proves I was right”. If that’s the attitude, they can go play somewhere else. Give Mizzou a coachable 2 star like Spoon over an ambivalent 4 star and let’s see what happens.

Let's face it.
In the new fast-food, Twitterbating, Kardashian world of instant gratification, a “man’s word” or even the signature on a piece of paper (see: NFL players renegotiating contracts) no longer has that meaning for a majority of people. All you can do is if you have children, to teach them that although it’s no longer common, that your word means something.
I remember after arresting some kid for car prowling and his mom came to pick him up, the kid tried to apologize to me. And I said something along the lines of “Don’t apologize to me. I am not the person you victimized. That’s who you should apologize to. Or maybe your parents, because when I sign my name on this report it goes next to ‘Investigating Officer’. Your name – your last name, which your parents gave to you – goes next to ‘Suspect’. Is that what you want your last name to stand for?”
Oh yes! Kids, lawn, off.

people broke contracts back in the good old days too
people got arrested, disgraced the family name.
As my 100 year old grandma told me a few years back “every generation thinks they invented sex.”
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.
Of course they did.
Disgracing the family name also carried a heavier weight then too. There never has been a pure 100% honest society but I do recall a time where a handshake was all it took. A commitment was a commitment. It took a serious and legitimate reason to break a promise or a promise should not have been made in the first place. That is the way I was raised and now how my children and grandson too.
I wish kids like Evan the best and hope that his choice brings him back to Mizzou but if he leaves for another school, I will wonder why and move on to the next recruit.
by McZou on Nov 22, 2011 12:03 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
I just don't think there has been some cataclysmic shift in the trust
There are still plenty of people you can trust with a handshake. Plenty of people who don’t break a promise without a serious and legitimate reason.
There were, are and will be people who those rules don’t apply to. I just grow weary of people talking about the good old days like some sort of utopia of society when people were more upstanding. Especially when you look back and see some of the darker parts of those eras.
Busting Bill C since September 19, 2011 10:19 CST, 8:19 PDT.

people were more trustworthy back when. look at the prison populations. of course bad things go on on a grander scale now, it’s the way societies have always been. they rise, they decline.

I think the problem stems from regular wool vs. "counting sheep wool."
“Counting sheep” are fluffy and light and fly over fences and sometimes even over the moon. Clearly their wool is related to clouds and would enable you to fly.

From the all-knowing Wikipedia:
The artificial Omniturf playing surface was removed and replaced with natural grass over the summer of 1995. Legendary Coach Don Faurot put down the last piece of sod as a symbolic gesture. Faurot had helped to lay the sod of the original playing surface in 1926… FieldTurf replaced the natural grass in 2003.
by Damnatio Memoriae on Nov 22, 2011 9:25 AM CST up reply actions
the problem with the grass
is that columbia is between the growing zone. Bluegrass won’t grow past October, and Bermuda won’t grow til October (or other way around). So, you end up with a mess of a field. Also, if it rains, you can’t paint it right.
This study, though small, suggests that field turf is more responsible for injuries compared to grass (may be less). Further, it’s not the shoes.

Yeah, because before that we weren’t in a conference …

If I may interject
Barry Odom was the coach of Rock Bridge’s Chase and Van before Ofodile became the Head Coach. Odom went on to become an assistant coach at Mizzou, Alexander gave a solid verbal his junior year and Patton, while being recruited by a lot of bigger name schools, was almost assuredly going to be staying in state for school.
I guess what I’m saying is Ofodile would be largely to blame for not directing those kids to Mizzou, but rather letting them get stuck in the hedges.

I just think that if it was another B12 school he is going to visit right after decommiting from us, we’d all grudgingly understand. But Auburn? That doesn’t sit well with me

agreed. no hate towards Boehm for whatever path he chooses
Just do not care for that set of morals and ethics. Say what you mean, mean what you say. If he stays- the welcome will be felt, if he goes- good luck. In fact, I kind of feel for him knowing half his friends/family maybe Jayhawkers, the K.C. media is confusing on their loyalties/messages and change in general. The facts are, however, Mizzou would be a great choice for someone like Evan. Especially considering the company he could keep here at that time.

i've said this before about recruiting...
i feel the same way about this kid as i did about sheldon (or any other recruit)…
if he comes here, great. glad to have him, welcome to the mizzou family…
if not, i really don’t care what happens to him unless his team plays mizzou… in that case i hope he fails miserably…
i just want good players/citizens who want to be at mizzou… i don’t care if they are from kc or texas or knob noster or wherever

we are NOT going to start letting kids from Knob Noster in here!

I am scared of the cherpumple. It does contain 3 of my favorite pies, but enshrouded in a cake? Reminds me of a Trojan horse. And I do not trust greek horses, they are very large with mohawks.

I tend to associate raspberries more with chocolate desserts
But I bet they’d be good on cheesecake too…
There’s a place down in Rolla called Slice Of Pie that has chocolate cherry cheesecake that might be the most amazing thing I’ve ever eaten. If anyone has to drive through Rolla for any reason, it’s worth looking them up and stopping. Be warned though, they’re one of those places like Booches that doesn’t take plastic.

But only because I was under consideration for a full ride scholarship. When someone MUCH brainier got it, it pretty much sealed Mizzou for me.

raspberries are marvelous. Especially when you have a baby and you get to blow raspberries on them.
Don’t eat the baby, though. Sometimes they smell really good. It’s still not like cheesecake from what I hear.

I like the first line of the Missourian write up:
“Missouri finally found some competition. Sort of.”
Stop everything, pie v. cake is irrelevant now
“Shark Attack Experiment: LIVE will beam from some of the world’s most shark-infested waters off the coast of South Africa. Here, a team of free-divers and conservationists put their safety on the line to separate shark attack myths from realities… This is no stunt; the goal is to dispel negative myths about sharks and raise public awareness that some shark species are being driven to extinction by overfishing.”
