Missouri lands two commitments Tuesday night
The Missouri Tigers and Barry Odom have been on a recruiting streak recently, and the Tigers landed two more commitments Tuesday night.
Three-star linebacker Jamal Brooks committed to the Tigers earlier Tuesday night. The Bessemer, Alabama, product is rated as the No. 49 inside linebacker and the state’s No. 42 overall player, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings. Brooks made 168 tackles, including 12 tackles for loss, seven sacks and eight forced fumbles in 2015.
The Tigers also received a commitment for three-star offensive tackle Case Cook. Cook is from Carrollton, Georgia, and he’s rated as the nation’s No. 53 offensive tackle and the state’s No. 48 overall player for 2017.

Brooks and Cook became the No. 8 and No. 9 commitments for the Tigers for 2017.
Too bad they are not going to Missouri state hahahahah
Are you in Springfield right now?, Did Coach Steckel ask you to write that?
How did u know
Welcome to the Zou Case and Jamal. You will love Missouri and Missourians + all the fans of our exciting football traditions will love you. Study hard to get ready for academic success at U of Mo, and shift into overdrive on your athletic development so you will be ready for more division and hopefully League championships. Missouri’s high national ranked finishes over the past decade clearly show the door is open for you to be part of the highest ranked Missouri team since Pinkel #1 and the Divine years.
Thank u for welcoming them
Only problem is, the reason for those high ranking finishes is now retired.
Ebb and flow keno, like Tennessee just experienced. Gary Pink Floyd is a huge loss, but the coaching staff has been upgraded without question.
How in the H*ll do you know that before they have even coached one game?
It’s not like the new staff was hiding under a rock. They all have a proven track record. Odom may have questions as a head coach, but he, like his entire staff, has a very credible history. It would be difficult to surround himself with a more competent crew.
Odom -Def Coor 3 years Memphis 1 year MU- Defenses considered among best in the nation. MU alum
Huepel-Really? Who wouldn’t want a guy that coached two former Heisman winners as an OC and QB coach. Called plays at OK and Utah State. Coached in three national championships.
Cross-Won 11games as LB coach and Co DC last year. MU Alum
Brown- Dbacks, stole him from Alabama. Former DC and a decade and a half in the NFL.
Walters- Safeties, worked under Odom at Memphis, see above.
Elarbee- OLine,. Got his work cut out for him, we’ll see. Word on the street from spring practice is that he’s putting that O-line thru hell and rightfully so.
Shipp-DLine 25 years exp. 4 National championships, 18 straight years to a post season bowl. Alabama, Oklahoma, and Arizona State.
Not sure if your TV has been broken for the last three decades or you have no internet service, but how can you put the staff Odom has surrounded himself with?
@Keno, Your assumption is short on history, Missouri’s commitment to winning conference and national championships was high during some coaching tenures before Pinkel, Pinkel himself had some average years. Overall Missouri’s commitment to winning division and conference and national championships has never been higher. This is not only evident by joining the SEC and by winning the East, but also by significant improvement of stadium, training, and other facilities. It might look like Pinkel was the single quality factor and he did many things well, but clearly the new coaching staff is building, not shrinking Missouri’s quality and brand. Pinkel class and humility will never be copied, but let’s be fair here. Steckel ‘s bend don’t break defense was not the future for Missouri. Kuligowski’s sack and turnover at all costs was showy but it put too much responsibility on defensive tackles and line backers. Andy Hill was not as good a quarterback coach as he was a receiver coach, Pinkel promoted and hired at least 3 unprepared coaches in his last 3 years…. from this point I defer to Captain Quantrill.
Expanding our recruiting footprint deeper into the south!
