Back when I was a beat writer, I called these “positions of need.” You know, positions where Missouri either lost a lot of experience from one year to the next or ended the previous season in an unsettled fashion and still had a “need” to gain stability.
Now that I’m a public relations professional, I call them “positions of opportunity.” Spots where players have the greatest “opportunity” to carve out new roles for themselves because they’re not set in stone.
Here, then, is an accounting of the Tigers’ position groups heading into 2019, ranked from most “opportunity” to least.
