Development can only take you so far. I remember when we had those great Missouri teams in the 2000s under Gary Pinkel, they were built with playes who wanted to be here. Now with the portal, a kid you develop for two years just leaves for a bigger NIL check. You need some blue-chip talent to compete at the highest level, always have. Ask any coach from the old Big 8 days, they'd tell you the same thing. Good development is a foundation, but you've got to get some of those difference-makers too.
