The world didn't already know about my Pinkel-copter? * sigh *

Mizzou Football Links

We have officially reached football recruiting's silly season. Commits, de-commits, de-de-commits, re-commits, re-de-commits, new offers ... and on the horizon, hat ceremonies. Good times. You can either let the bad news keep you up at night (and there was a bit of bad news last night), or you can just let it all wash over you until Signing Day (which is, thankfully, now under two weeks away). Will Hines de-committed last night, as was at least half-expected (he had been down to Missouri and Arkansas for a while), and while that stinks (I really liked his film, and it would be pretty nice if Mizzou could pull out a few more recruiting wins over Arkansas, especially now), it appears Mizzou has already found an interesting guy to take his place on the commitment list. We'll see how everything plays out.

Meanwhile, Gary Pinkel has been using the Pinkel-Copter to swoop in on recruits around the state for a while now, but when you do it for the No. 1 recruit in the country, people take notice.

I'll be very interested in how this class fills out

if we end up with another class ranked 40+ according to rivals (it would be 3 out of the last 4 years) doesn’t bode well for competition in the SEC.

by dspfzf on Jan 19, 2012 7:12 AM CST reply actions  

The 2005 class ranked in the 40s, I believe.

And that was potentially our most successful recruiting class of the last 40 years. I’m all for recruiting improving, because it might improve our odds of success, but let’s not pretend like a poorly rated class is a death sentence.

by Bill C. on Jan 19, 2012 7:43 AM CST up reply actions   1 recs

consistent poorly rated classes

and the 2005 class competed in the big 12. We have no benchmark for the SEC. It may turn out well, but I’m wary of our staying power as a mid-level to above average football program.

Bill did you do a ranking of teams that

over perform their recruiting class rankings ? Mizzou did very well on that list if I remember.

I thought I had seen something like that, where in you can draw the conclusion that the Mizzou coaching staff does average(++) in a) identifying talent b) teasing it to out perform teams with higher recruiting class rankings.

by MarioVanPeebles Republic of China on Jan 19, 2012 9:54 AM CST up reply actions  

Rivals did one that had Va Tech and Mizzou at the top..

…any analysis I do in that regard is friendly to Mizzou, although they obviously end up waaaaaaaaaaay behind teams like Boise State and TCU.

by Bill C. on Jan 19, 2012 10:01 AM CST up reply actions  

Oops. Miss remembered where I had read it.

I guess trying to overtake a Boise State/TCU would be near impossible…until they readjust how they do star levels. I bet as those too schools keep winning their recruits will get more stars…not entirely due to better athletes.

As I read more about recruiting it seems that the various rankings in recruits are skewed based on where the kid has had offers. Like a positive feedback loop.

by MarioVanPeebles Republic of China on Jan 19, 2012 10:08 AM CST up reply actions  

Yep.

And to be sure, it’s probably one of the more accurate ways for Rivals to figure out who’s good (if Alabama offers them, they’re probably good). But yeah, it results in loops upon loops. A kid gets a good rating when they are offered by Alabama, and Alabama gets a good ranking when that kid commits to them.

by Bill C. on Jan 19, 2012 10:10 AM CST up reply actions  

In the old big 12 maybe

we only faced two or three teams that were consistently pulling in talent far superior to our own (UT, OU and NU). Now we have to compete with UTk, SCAR, UGa, UF, and on occasion Alabama, Auburn, LSU… Pinkel said himself that we will need to recruit better, well we will need to or we will be Vandy.

Yup

What a joke, didnt help that the caller sounded literally as dumb as humanly possible, but he was a KU fan, so I repeat myself.

in the fool's defense

Our fearless leader consistently states, “Don’t bet against a streak.”

Yes, the season is long from being over, but kU has a lot running for them. Of course, we’ll all have a good laugh if they don’t win.

I completely agree that they are the front runner

However, boasting on radio to all 45 people listening in the greater KC area that the conference race is already sewn up is a joke. Maybe if they did look ahead to march now instead of waiting until later they wouldn’t have yet another Bill Self patented flame out in the 1st or 2nd rounds.

Trying out the new SEC type underhanded complement.

You guys are going to hurt B_W's feelings

When he guaranteed last week on RMN that KU wouldn’t finish in the top 2 in the conference, you guys were nice enough not to insult him, but I’m worried he’s going to see all these attacks abiut how stupid and arrogant it is to assume the order of finish based off only a couple games and he’s going to think you guys are talking about him behind his back.

One of their better recruiting tools

may be to not let recruits step foot in Lawrence until after they have signed on the dotted line.

I wonder if Anthony Pierson would have something to say about St. Louis recruits choosing Kansas over Mizzou
