Mizzou Links: Pinkel in the MAC Hall of Fame and recruiting vs. the draft

Nick Demien's high school highlight film.

According to Rivals, Demien was the most highly-rated member of Mizzou's most highly-rated recruiting class. Demien was one of seven four-star signees; the levels of success for the four-stars were mixed between "future difference-makers" (Kony Ealy, Marcus Lucas, James Franklin, Jimmie Hunt) and "never lived up to hype" (Demien, Tyler Gabbert, Tristen Holt), but the success among the high-three-stars was incredible: Henry Josey, E.J. Gaines, Mitch Morse, Marcus Murphy, Bud Sasser, Matt Hoch, Lucas Vincent. Goodness.

About nine months before that class signed, Mizzou had four players selected in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft.
