Have to love the toughness that is developing on the Mizzou offense -- James Franklin's running, Michael Egnew's yards after catch, etc. When you are able to play that physically, it makes whatever speed advantages you may have (i.e. Henry Josey) stand out a bit more.

It is going to get nasty in the Big East. Never mind the fresh boatload of new blood; WVU is going to fight like crazy to get out (and if they reach the exits, Pitt and Syracuse will be right behind them), while the Big East is evidently going to fight like crazy to keep them even with the new blood. And that kind of screws up Missouri's assumed exit plans as well.

Rules Changes
The Trib (Steve Walentik): Alden discusses sweeping NCAA changesStarting June 15 after a a recruit's sophomore year, coaches will be allowed to send unlimited phone calls and text messages to men’s basketball recruits. The deregulation also extends to social media, though public messages through social networks will continue to be prohibited because of existing rules against schools publicizing their recruiting efforts. The NCAA also moved up the date when prospects can begin taking official visits to Jan. 1 of their junior year, with schools permitted to pay for travel expenses for both the player and a parent or guardian. It also moved to allow some contact between recruits and coaches at the player's school during their junior year, reinstated April evaluation periods with restrictions to two weekends and shrank the July evaluation periods to three four-day periods. It also changed the rules to permit staged, on-campus evaluations during official visits.
The recruiting changes were made at the suggestion of the NCAA Leadership Council, which had been tasked with studying the recruiting situation for the past year. Missouri Athletic Director Mike Alden serves as the Leadership Council's chairman.
"This model recognizes that men’s basketball recruits are vulnerable to mixed messages concerning athletic skills and education at an early age and that college coaches offer the best hope to promote higher education," Alden said in a statement announcing the changes last week. "It also attempts to provide for a natural progression of communication, contact and paid visits for coaches to establish relationships with prospective student-athletes and their families."
