You'd have to be nuts to pick Mizzou over Notre Dame. I know they're having a good year, but that's just not a big-time program.
Back in the sixties, Dan Devine lead a very successful program at Missouri. Come to think of it, Devine had success at two other universities - Arizona State and the college that twice hired coaches from high school to lead their football program.

Missouri is in a good spot, IMO. They seem to take their sports seriously in terms of fan support, and it sounds like they are ready to race to the bottom with the rest of the SEC.

I'm admittedly a poor judge of talent unless it's apparent, but I wish I could see Williams against better competition because if you showed me his senior film and I didn't know his rankings, I'd guess high 4-star.

That is why the camps are, in fact, useful. Quality of competition is a good indicator of how fast a kid will adjust to college. But overall athleticism is more important in the long term.

I should have added, that I would have guessed 2-star based on his junior film.

I assume it's a good thing that he's shown that much improvement.

MSU rarely seems to offer bigger prospects no matter how close they are. They like the 3:s: that they can turn into an NFL defensive player.

Good! It sounds like he is a smart kid, so that is something he'll likely consider seriously.

Visiting on Senior Day was a good thing. Lots of good emotions.

But living 30ish minutes will be the difference maker, IMHO.

I love our chances!

Good call, he told II that distance was the deciding factor. I agreed with ya, just think its funny he said distance wouldn't mean anything until it actually did mean something, if you know what I mean.

Was he committed to Toledo also?

I like the "under the radar" kids when they have the measurables (like Councell).

Great pick up!
