Does anyone know which recruits, other than Darvin Ruise, had official/unofficial visits scheduled for this past Saturday's game?

How do you think such an ugly loss at home may have affected our chances of getting commits? Darvin Ruise has a pretty impressive list of suitors and he still verbally pledged....

Verbal pledges mean nothing. It just means more attention and "free" visits and gifts to the recruit.

You must be one h&ll of a guy to party with. You don't seem like the jaded bitter type at all.

Brig, you seem to be pretty connected in regards to the current situations in Columbia, can you maybe give me your take on the original question I offered?

There won't be any effect on recruiting because high school coaches are smarter than half the people here and realize that a young team has bad games when they shouldn't. It sucks we lost and as fans we hate to see that but seriously I think we are all over reacting, myself included, on Saturday I was ready to take down my Mizzou flag...but I didn't. You have to realize that we are not going anywhere. One bad game in one so-so year are not going to destroy a program that has been built up like Mizzou. Recruits see the future, when they will be a Mizzou Tiger, as a bright one. Even in a bad loss we still get commits, if that doesn't show people that we are here to stay then I don't know what will.

Yea that.

Recruits commit based on relationships with coaches, future teammates, facilities, academics, parent's wishes, etc, etc. In fact, a sub-par performance might make them think they will have an immediate impact.

l have always wondered why more recruits go to teams like USC.They will competing against 4 and 5 star recruits.A team like Missouri should be a great team to go to because their chances of starting time and playing is so much greater

But if they go to USC, Florida, Texas, Alabama, LSU, AND if they get to play, they get national exposure and a much better chance of being drafted, or getting drafted higher, than going to Mizzou, Iowa State, Minnesota, Illinois. It's all about the tradition and the TV exposure.

Can't agree with that. National media exposure leads to... more national media exposure. Pro scouts scour the country for talent. Look at some of the schools represent by the Saints, for example:

Bloomsburg, Towson, Wm and Mary, Kent State, Hofstra, Toledo.

The Saints have 14 members of the scouting staff and 5 'area' scouts, 2 pro scouts, combine scout. Not much talent gets missed, exposure or not.

Saints are my new favorite team since the Rams moved to Pee-Wee league.
