COLUMBIA, Mo. — Coming up with a top 25 ranking of the best Mizzou athletes from the past 25 years proved to be a tricky business.
Watching old highlights posted to YouTube of Jeremy Maclin returning kicks and Kareem Rush knocking down shots made for a fun kind of research. Pondering athletes’ accomplishments across sports and which would get left off the list was thornier.
It was never going to be a perfect result because there is no consensus on lists like these, so let’s talk about my thinking and some of the imperfections.
I’ve been glad to receive comments and notes from some of you readers after the rankings ran here.
