I wondered about Mizzou being a good fit when they announced, and Mizzou was a bit ahead of ECU in football at the time they came in. Although its first two seasons in the SEC have been good ones, I think what we saw was just a decent team that they had coming in at the time and was able to compete. Now I will be interested in seeing how they do. When you look at their recruiting, its not quite on par with the other SEC programs, even after two years of being there, looking at their 2016 list, they are behind the bar some compared to the other SEC teams as far as recruiting. I would think that a smaller team like Mizzou coming in would start to reap the reward of being an SEC member and start seeing recruiting jumping up. It doesnt seem to be the case which sort of says to me that its important where a school is located. Most the SEC players come from Bama, Georgia, Florida, Miss, LU. Im sure Mizzou will get some but they dont seem to be getting the highly ranked players out of these states like the regular teams are. I think this may be a future problem for them because kids from these states are not going to be interested in going to Mizzzou, as they are Auburn, Georgia and so on.

ECU actually has a better location for this. That would be one reason I could see ECU being a better fit than Mizzou.
