I don’t have much to add on the news that Eli Drinkwitz continues his recruiting tear. I said in my tweet of the story yesterday that it really says something about your recruiting streak when you land a 4-star linebacker who DROPS the average recruiting rating on 247sports composite. Before Xavier Simmons, Mizzou’s average 247 rank was 0.8992, after his commitment it dropped to 0.8984. Which is pretty remarkable.
And also take into account that once the Bat Signal went up, there were a LOT of fans who thought it might be 5-star Wide Receiver Luther Burden.
