    That's 16 quarterback signees in 11 recruiting classes with only four who have exhausted their eligibility without changing positions: [Brad] Smith, [Brandon] Coleman, [Chase] Daniel and [Chase] Patton. College teams are always rolling the dice when recruiting quarterbacks, especially when signing multiple QBs in one class. When Gary Pinkel signs two quarterbacks in the same class, history tells him one could very well transfer. History has repeated itself again.
  • Post-Dispatch: Mizzou fans: Meet James Franklin, your new QB
  • ESPN.com (Ivan Maisel): 3-point stance
    Redshirt freshman Tyler Gabbert didn’t win the job to replace his brother Blaine at Missouri, so Tyler Gabbert decided to transfer. Three things: a) Tyler committed to Nebraska out of high school, then changed his mind. Now he’s committed to Mizzou and changed his mind. B) Backups these days who refuse to recognize that they are "one play away" are shortsighted and immature. C) Coach Gary Pinkel thanked Tyler for his efforts. A previous generation of coaches wouldn’t have let him leave.
    "Back in MY day, if a player asked for a transfer, the coach made him run extra laps while carrying coeds on both shoulders and drinking a milkshake ... and they LIKED IT."

    Not sure where that came from.  Anyway.
