The National Signing Day’s early signing day period has come and gone...

And Missouri ended the day signing a total of 10 commitments, including five-in state pledges. Here’s the list, with East St. Louis defensive lineman Kevon Billingsley still unsigned.

Arguably the most popular signing of the day was from Kirkwood wide receiver Jay Maclin. Here he was with his cousin Jeremy yesterday:

And here’s what Jeremy had to say:

Here’s hoping Maclin and Chaminade’s Brady Cook can become a BIG St. Louis connection in the near future, as Cook also officially signed with Missouri yesterday (Brady Cook is such a great quarterback name, by the way). He was impressed with Drinkwitz’s recruiting efforts and plans to enroll early.

There were also some unexpected results in Missouri to Arkansas flips, but according to Eli Drinkwitz, yesterday was described as uneventful as there were no good or bad surprises.

As of right now, Missouri’s 2020 class rankings ranks 80th in the country and 13th in the SEC, according to 247Sports. On Rivals, Missouri currently ranks 71st in the country. That’s.....not great! Buy hey....it’s not the end of the world, and this is all going to be okay. We still have the second signing day (on February 5th) to get to.

Alright, if you had enough of National Signing Day...that’s totally fine! Now it’s time to get ready for some Braggin’ Rights on Saturday!
