"I think everybody has to get rid of that mindset and understand that we're a six-month free agent business, and every six months there's free agency," Drinkwitz said. "You do the very best you can to build the roster you can with that kind of mindset or with that kind of thinking, but that old style of thinking of, 'Hey, I'm going to have 85 scholarships, and I'm going to recruit four deep in each position, and once this guy leaves, then the next guy comes.' That's not really realistic anymore.

"Our job is to build the best team that we can so that when we start spring practice in March, we have the best team possible, knowing that in April there's another free agency period, and your team could look drastically different. So, I would just caution everybody, including Mizzou Twitter, that it's really going to be okay. It's going to be okay. We value production over potential, and that's going to be a key driving force for us in the decisions we make with player acquisition and player development."
