I get disliking the basketball program, but not football.

Georgia has won a title since 1980, so they shouldn’t belong either.

lol WHAT? What a deluded fan base. Mizzou is a lot closer to Vanderbilt than they are to Georgia

One of these teams hasn’t even been to a BCS Bowl. KU even has done that.

I like Mizzou football. 
Make it to 3-4 games most years. 
But Georgia has been a top 10 program for years. They are always a national title contender.

Mizzou is....well, Mizzou.

They bribed their way to the Orange Bowl. That was the beginning of the end of MU’s stay in the B12.

Yes, but like all Georgia teams both at the collegiate and pro levels, they choke. Mizzou’s the only D1 football program in the state in the most prestigious football conference in the country. You’d think that would hold some weight in STL since we no longer have an NFL team.

Pretty sure I’ve said here before why I cheer for Mizzou football, despite the fact that despise Mizzou basketball. I’m just gonna say, Drinkwitz is AT LEAST 100 times better recruiter than Odom was. And with in-state recruiting in Missouri, there’s really no comparison. Whether that translates to the field remains to be seen. But I’d venture a guess that Drink has a much better shot at Burden than Odom ever would’ve.

What doesn't belong is a football discussion in the 22 recruiting thread.  Please start an off topic thread if you want to continue.

ah................no

Mizzou is a strong contender for the same reason we would be a top contender if Burden went the basketball route.  They are a real contender in this from what I understand.  Being close to family got Mizzou in this position now their staff will have to close.

[courtside]

 

As people know, Burden is a very good hooper too. His dad according to Rich Grawer, is the best mid range shooter Grawer ever had at SLU. 

He's 2022 and narrowed his college decision to five for football. So, it's relevant to note before moving on to the next one.

People can continue college football discussion in a college football thread and continue 2022 hoop recruiting here.

Article about Tarris Reed, he doesn't mention SLU as one of the 6 that are prioritizing him.

Because we're not high major.  Which is what he's aiming for.

I would hardly call Mizzou, Nebraska and K-State "high majors" although they are P6 schools.

That's just Reed's current suitors.  If his junior season goes well, that list will get upgraded.  He just got an offer from Michigan St.

-to be clear, are you saying Reed won't Be a Billiken because we are not high major? if a kid really wants high major and has the opportunity not sure what we can do

That's the reading I am going with. We will lose a lot of these "high major" battles because we flat out cannot offer that.
