I read a whining article about Mizzou getting Nwaneri. They were mad because Missouri allows in state recruits signing with in state schools to sign NIL deals in high school, which, according to them, was the only reason that he went to Mizzou. Maybe it's true. Don't care. It's nice to see the Tigers getting top in state talent to stay home.

PowerMizzou’s football beat reporter, Jarod Hamilton, reported it yesterday in practice notes. Running even on reps with the 1s. Specifically talked about his mastery of the j offense showing great progress from last year. One thing I forgot about Horn is that he’s a type 1 diabetic. That’s a big adjustment for college and, I suspect, one of the reasons his parents wanted him to have a year to acclimate. |

I think Cook will start the season but it will be Horns by the end of the season.

Going to be a tough one to swallow. If only we could watch practices and witness first hand that he is the best QB...it's hard to fathom, I just can't picture him making better, quicker decisions and throwing more accurate passes with the necessary pace than the other guys. Show me...

At a certain talent level, it's mostly situation dependent. As we've discussed above, look at those 'Bama quarterbacks or Stetson Bennett. Those guys just got to play on Rookie sliders. Last season Cook was playing on All Madden settings. Now we're still Mizzou - I'm not expecting Cook to get the Rookie treatment. But All-Pro is extremely doable and Pro might be. Get the level of the team around him up to the point that he's dealing with easier sliders and he's going to look WAY better and at that point experience will play up. It'll play up perhaps more than raw talent will. So if Mizzou has a quality team, I think there's a VERY good chance that Cook's the best quarterback option for the first week or even few weeks. And I think at the same time, Horn or Garcia may be able to build up experience base well enough for the talent to then leapfrog him, especially as the schedule gets harder into conference play. I just can't see any utility in planting flags early here. Cook, if he continues to struggle, will lose the job. Because if the team is a good team, they won't leave him in there to hold him back. And if the team is a mediocre/bad team (and last year's was) then you may just need to toss the most raw talent you have under center to try to make chicken salad from chicken shit. I wouldn't get spun up either way right now. But talk to me in week 4/5 and we'll start to have some answers. |

Yeah, I've kind of been wondering about that myself. Whats to stop these kids (or their parents) from cashing in early then flipping to their preferred school after chilling at Mizzou for a season to double dip.

Nothing about his play last season was even slightly encouraging. I didn't watch every single minute of every single game, but I didn't see any flashes of greatness from him. I don't get it. |
