Missouri football recruiting in Texas
A few updates on some of the high school football players in Texas that have Missouri on their list as we head into the final four weeks of recruiting:
Cobi Hamilton, WR, 6-3, 190, Lufkin. He is also considering Arkansas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
Josh Gordon, WR, 6-4, 211, Houston Lamar. Baylor appears to be the leader and according to his interview with Super Prep, Missouri is dropping off his list. Other schools are Michigan, Nebraska and Texas Tech.
Lou Greenwood, RB, 6-1, 174, Conroe. Other schools are Baylor, Georgia Tech, Houston, Iowa State.
Kendial Lawrence, RB, 5-9, 177, Rockwall. Has made an official visit to Missouri. Other schools: Arizona, Houston and Iowa State.
Skylar Scott, WR, 6-3, 193, West Mesquite. Other schools: Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State
Joseph Bonugli, WR, 5-11, 187, San Antonio Warren. Other schools: Arizona, Army, Colorado State, Houston, Kansas State, SMU and TCU.
As a huge Mizzou fan down here in Big D, it saddens me to report that Mizzou is a distant 3rd in recruiting Texas football talent in the Big 12 North behind Nebraska and Kansas this year. While I cannot for any reason understand why anyone would ever want to attend Kansas, what is the attraction of Nebraska? Ever been to Lincoln? Ever been there in the winter?
Nebraska has 9 Texas recruits and 3 of those are 4-star recruits including the Dallas-Ft.Worth area player of the year. Kansas has 10 recruits as well with 1 4-star recruit. Mizzou has 3 from Texas and one of those is a 2-star recruit.
Mizzou best hope Richardson keeps his commitment and Ronnie Wingo signs on to deliver a top 25 class. The talent of this recruiting class has to come from somewhere else this year.
