A big recruiting weekend for the Missouri football team is taking place in CoMo.
Squarely in the spotlight is Lee’s Summit North defensive end Williams Nwaneri, a 6-foot-6, 265-pound force who has five stars and infinity scholarship offers.
Georgia wants him. Oklahoma wants him. Everybody wants him, including Mizzou.
Any time the Tigers try to keep a five-star from departing the state’s borders, they face challenges familiar and new.
Some teams win more games. Others offer more lucrative name, image and likeness packages. But perhaps Mizzou, especially with a defensive standout like Nwaneri, is on the cusp of sharpening a selling point.
