Nzoner's Game Room>****Official 2018 Missouri Tigers Football Thread****
'Hamas' Jenkins 05:36 PM 07-30-2018
The beginning of the 2018 season is a little under five weeks away. Missouri enters the year projected to finish 4th in the East, and may be a borderline Top 25 team according to some projection systems. After a disappointing recruiting cycle last year, pressure is on Odom to restock the cupboard after the senior years of Lock and Beckner, who will go down as two of the better Tigers in history and likely first round draft picks.

Schedule:

Spoiler!


Recruiting:

Spoiler!


At this point, the class is ranked 68-69 nationally by Rivals and 24/7. Odom is going to have to rely on Pinkel's diamond-in-the-rough approach. It looks like they've pulled back considerably from Georgia, focusing more upon Texas, which is what they should have always done. Unfortunately, they've done horrific in-state, and I think that will likely end up being the nail in Odom's coffin after the 2019 season.

12/19 Update: A strong finish late in the cycle moved the class up significantly. Securing commitments from grad transfer Kelly Bryant and TCU transfer Shawn Robinson has solidified the QB position in the short and intermediate term. A class that was ranked in the 60's at the beginning of the season is now a top 20-30 class factoring in transfers.

Hamas' Crystal Ball: 8-4; 4-4 in the SEC (wins vs. Ark, Tenn, Vandy, Kentucky)

That'd best by God be a !@#$ing tentative meeting.

Seriously, if he can't close the deal over Auburn, who HAS a quarterback at present and an incoming 5 star, along with a coach who appeared to kinda want to get fired as recently as a week ago, then what the fuck good is he?

The optics of extending the guy a day after getting snubbed by Bryant would be abysmal.

Extending a coach that just got outstanding citizened by a coach boosters do not want at all would be the most Mizzou thing.

E: lol at the word filtering

War Eagle has deep pockets. There was never any doubt Bryant was going there just look at how the Newton sweepstakes was handled.

Sure it is. You wanted to give me a snarky dumbass remark about winning the Florida game in response to me calling Odom out for his poor coaching costing us games, so I replied with 2 games where his poor coaching cost us a victory.

It's not snark. He lost some he should have won. It's also possible he won some he should have lost. Not sure why you refuse to recognize that.

The meeting I referred was Mizzou's BOC...possibly about extending Odom, had nothing to do with Bryant.

Still think KB is coming to Mizzou...

No, asking for the occasional quality victory isn't too terribly much. That win was little more than "about !@#$ing time..." and doesn't do much of anything to erase the abortions at SC or against KY.

I'm not even as inclined as most are to give him a pass for UGA. Mizzou had as much talent on the field as Georgia that day and just kept shooting themselves in the foot.

But I tell ya what - if Odom can MAINTAIN the talent at this level, okay. That's a team with an annual 7 win floor with 11 win and conference championship potential. He'll coach them into 2 losses most seasons, but the talent level is there to hang with anyone.

I just don't think he has the recruiting chops to keep this up. It doesn't matter what I think - he's getting extended. At this point the only real question to ask is who turns out to be correct...

Gus is the dirtiest motherfucker in a dirty conference. Pretty impressive.

:-) I'm supposed to be impressed by a win where the starting QB of the other team finally got benched in the 3rd quarter from his poor play the games prior?
