This is the way it’s supposed to be, if you think about it: Big performances from key players in important games. When we first started doing MV3 a few years ago, I was worried it would become stagnant, the same players showing up week in and week out.
But to be honest, there’s something comforting about seeing the same names pop up after wins like Friday’s. Good programs are good programs because they recruit, develop and retain top talent. And even if Mizzou’s stars don’t always shine as bright as some of their peer programs in the SEC, they’re parting the clouds for brighter stars to shine in the future.
