Were you worried? I must admit, I was getting there. From mid-June to mid-July, the Tigers landed a total of two commitments, both from prospects Missouri scouted while at their 7-on-7 camp in Columbia.
Meanwhile, in-state prospects chose to go elsewhere. Panic was unreasonable. Slight concern? Yeah, that was warranted, especially with five of the top seven players in the state committed elsewhere, and things seeming to trending in the wrong direction with Jeremiyah Love.
It’s not what you want, but the momentum is swinging back in a more positive direction after Lee’s Summit 4-star wide receiver Joshua Manning committed to the Tigers over reported offers from Arkansas, Nebraska, Iowa State and Kansas State.
