I'll summarize:
----
Brady Cook got a hole in one in Wentzville.
Drink must get better production from the QB position after three straight .500 regular seasons.
Brady is very competitive in how he runs stadiums, eats, trains, he's an 'edger'.
Cook completed 65% of his passes for 2,724 yards & 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Cook underwent surgery for a torn labrum on his throwing arm in January and was fully cleared for spring workouts.
Cook's offseason has caused Jake, Sam & Dylan to embrace the competition.
Drink recognizes that the Tigers have to get the ball down the field vertically.
Cook's success with the deep ball 32.2%, 12.5 yards per attempt, 90.9 efficiency rating was better than Bazelak in 2021 & 2020.
Cook's 585 scrambling yards is the most for a Mizzou QB since 2012.
Garcia's passer rating from his four games at Miami was 49.3.
Drink thinks that Horn's success on the baseball field will help him 'pull it all together' on the football field.
Last year Horn was basically not handling his diet, not making sure his diabetes was under control, not watching his weight, not getting sleep, not making sure his grades were right, but has had a 'great spring and summer'.
----
My summary of the summary: Horn had a blow-out freshman college experience and was essentially a spoiled child who was not doing the work, hopefully he's now got that out of his system and (with his baseball injury) is ready to focus on football. Cook, though not in Horn's class as a passer, does EVERYTHING ELSE in a manner that any coach would love, super competitive, super levels of effort, super attention to detail. That clouds the issue. At this point Garcia and Laible are busts, not even getting an extended mention from Drink.
