Some of you forget that there are 85 scholarships, and that there's a depth chart.

Drink has had more transfers than average because he's recruiting over them, with back-to-back classes that are MU's highest rated of all time.

Most recruits, aside from the elite 5*'s, aren't ready to contribute (make the 2 deep) until they're upperclassmen.

     Look, year 1 for Drink was during a pandemic - MoGold MU - 12/24 11:45:29

               Sure, but to not admit the limitations is nonsense - MoGold MU - 12/25 00:09:33
     Psst Drink accepted the job on December 9, 2019. If there - Erwin Fletcher STL - 12/24 11:13:32
          Psst Went 4-4 in SEC with that roster. Nm - Nats84 MU - 12/24 12:03:11

     For what we are paying these coaches I expect to see - Bacon MU - 12/24 10:18:55

               11-12 for 4 mil per - Jeff85 MU - 12/24 13:14:50
                    Year 1 was an all-SEC slate. And given that the roster is - zounami MU - 12/24 13:45:15
               He's recruiting players with stars but how is that showing - Bacon MU - 12/24 10:21:54
                    Ah, he really just signed ‘his’ 2nd class - MoGold MU - 12/24 11:50:22
                    How many classes do you feel are on campus right now? - Erwin Fletcher STL - 12/24 11:30:15
                         1 and a half. Drink made a choice to retain Odom's - Bacon MU - 12/24 11:38:47
                              What was his alternative? Pull all the committed offers and - zounami MU - 12/24 11:44:13

                                        They may transfer but you don't pull offers late in the... - BandG MU - 12/24 12:17:44
                                             But it's okay for a coach to continually "encourage" players - Bacon MU - 12/24 13:00:03
                                                  Correct, that's the way it is. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/24 13:36:24
                                                       To me that's a lack of integrity. You know a player isn't - Bacon MU - 12/24 14:35:09

                                   Good points. (nm) - zounami MU - 12/24 11:33:19
