Mizzou's Junior Day a sign that Tigers are going all in for critical 2018 class
Recruiting for the class of 2017 just wrapped up, and after signing a class ranked No. 47 nationally and No. 13 in the SEC, Mizzou coaches are determined to step things up with the class of 2018. That started with going all out for Junior Day in Columbia this weekend.

This is very true. Saw "Welcome to Mizzou" and "Show Me 18" signs inside Memorial Stadium as I walked from Hearnes to Mizzou Arena. https://t.co/JgScBFBnur

The Tigers have plenty of room for improvement when it comes to in-state recruiting, as Kansas City ATH Daron Davis is the only 2017 signee from Missouri.
Blessed to have these incredible families here at Missouri that love this state. Let's do the unthinkable…. #STL #KC #WhyNotUs #sHOwME18

The efforts seem to have gone over well with at least one Missouri high school coach.
