Recruiting Reset: Dante McClellan is an impact commitment

Missouri just kickstarted a recruiting class by signing three blue chip recruits. That’s never happened before.

Mizzou signed three blue chip recruits in an 18-day span, a feat only bested by the 2015 recruiting class when Gary Pinkel signed A.J. Harris (April 1st), Nate Strong (April 8th), and Drew Lock (April 9th) in an 8-day period.

Eli Drinkwitz’s first three signees of the 2025 class feature half the number of blue chip recruits that Barry Odom signed in four years.

And - most interesting - these recruits are not from what you would call Missouri’s “traditional” recruiting territory which we will define as in-state, border states, and Texas.
