Even when Drinkwitz was bringing in top classes, they were never top classes when compared against the SEC at large. My point being that expectations likely have not been realistic to this point.
Drink is absolutely the best recruiter Mizzou has ever had. If that's owing to NIL, fine, but either way, he's the one getting it done with the budget he's being given.
I hope fans can relax and I REALLYhope the donors can relax. Those are the guys who put coaches on the hot seat.
