guess this means mizzouman will be on soon- he tends to only come around when there is good mizzou recruiting news.

[hashog]

that sucks

[An old hog fanatic]

No real surprise...but very disappointing.

BUT - Petrino and staff will finish this recruiting class strong and we'll do fine without Richardson. 

[Amityvillehogger]

"National Powerhouse team" ?

[hashog]

with or without him we will still have a much d fence !!!!!!!

[RazorBassin]

I just got some info that said he wouldn't have the grades, maybe its wrong, but that is what I am hearing.

[Porkys Revenge]

I prefer T. Coleman over Richardson anyway, now if we don't get Coleman, then I'll be pissed.

[N HOG]

"National Powerhouse team" ?

Don't they have to beat Kansas first?

[HOG FAN 4 LIFE]

I thought he was going to have to go to a JUCO because of grades.

[arklahoman36]

He showed up and took his medicine after Knile Davis committed to Arkansas.

[ChicoHog]

Better to mizzou than Florida or another SEC team. 

[booogaga]

if he doesnt want to be here then he doesnt need to be here. let him go against pansy arse big 12 schools so he can pad his stats more en route to the nfl...

[Oklahawg]

Good for Richardson and Mizzou. Now, back to working the short list!

[Bubba's Bruisers]

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.  It also shouldn't be a surprise if he doesn't qualify.

[Erockster20]

I just hope this doesn't have any impact on Wingo. 

[COCHISE]

Pinkel got tear-eyed??  hmmm....

[SquidBilly]

Richardson would have been a good get but we can't get them all.  Next.

[racinghog]

Better check all the Misso's commits. Doesn't look to impressive to me.

[Kenny Hawgins]

hope he has fun getting blasted by oklahoma and texas the next 4 years in big 12 championship games.

[arklahoman36]

If they make it that far.

[RazorBassin]

They'll have to beat Nebraska, they are back on the way up.

[Kenny Hawgins]

They'll have to beat Nebraska, they are back on the way up.

nice point.....and the fighting manginos.  i hear they're man-eaters.

[ekyle1]

HIS LOSS....Mizzou is on a downward spiral...

[shawn_563]

Does anyone think this will affect wingo's decision?

[Melorock089]

Can't exactly say he made a smart decision theoretically both in college and professionally afterwards. Hah nobody here have any regrets, alright? He blew his chance.

[Melorock089]

Does anyone think this will affect wingo's decision?

Me thinks Wingo is smarter

[linze82]

did he try to clown on us a little in the article? i can't read it.

[Simple Swineman]

Does anyone think this will affect wingo's decision?

No. Wingo will visit on Jan 9 and he will see the difference first hand. Richardson was supposed to come the same weekend, but it sounds like he won't now.

Richardson would have second thoughts if he were to take his visit here. After he visited Minnesota he said he was blown away and was overly impressed with their program... Minnesota. Then he went to Missouri and thought it just couldn't get any better than that. I can't imagine what he would think about Arkansas. Oh well.

[Table Rocker]

Perhaps he has aspirations of being a journalist? If so he made the right choice

[Theolesnort]

 It ain't over, but they are fighting over who will sign and place him. A few days or week or two and Richardson will be ready to take that trip to Ark. He is very impressionable.

[songofthesword]

It ain't over, but they are fighting over who will sign and place him..

srsly. not anywhere near worth the hassle.

[Kevin Bacon]

did he try to clown on us a little in the article? i can't read it.

No mention of anyone in the article but mizzery.

[dougieritch]

Better to mizzou than Florida or another SEC team. 

Amen...I feel the same way!

Some kids just want to stay home, can't fault that.

[Melorock089]

True...Fayetteville's just about on the state border to Missouri...

[hawgsav1]

WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!



Actually, I was really really really really really hoping we'd get him.  Eh well, we'll get the next one. 

[ChicoHog]

I thought Syracuse was the broadcasting/journalism school?  Is Missouri big on that also?

[The Hogfather]

"National Powerhouse team" ?

For real?  What a joke!

[jst01]

Mizzu has been good for the past few years for 1 reason & 1 reason only.

CHASE DANIEL

They will soon be back to winning 7-8 games a year max.

Well, really 3 reasons.

1.  Chase Daniel has been running Missouri's offense since he was in preschool.
2.  Jeremy Maclin is a freak
3.  The Big XII North sucks my A$$.

I thought about Maclin(sp?), but I think without Chase running that spread, Maclin wouldn't have near the holes and running room he gets now. Without Chase I think he's an above average back, but not a game changer.

But then again... it is the Big-12 north. Up there 7-8 wins is about a 90% certanty of being the North's entry into the "Get your brains beat out by the Big-12 South's Team championship game".

[cbjagman]

Guys and gals, I'm as disappointed as anyone that we apparently won't have his services; however, the young man has his choice. For better or worse it doesn't appear that we will be able to land him, so let's just wish him luck and move on to the next one.............

Yeah, that's fine.  I'm just laughing at the fact that he thinks Missouri is becoming a national powerhouse program and that he thinks they'll win a NC before he's gone.  He'll probably be a huge stud defensive lineman.  But, he won't have any help on defense, Daniel/Maclin will be gone, and they'll lose about 4, 5, or 6 games a year.

I wish him well, unless he comes up against Arkansas.  I just think it's probably a bad decision if he wants to be part of a program that is actually becoming a national powerhouse.

missouri school of journalism one of the tops in the nation...

[Table Rocker]

probably the best in the midwest- very well respected nationally as well. pat forde is also a grad, so that's a strike against them

[saywhat?]

Richardson won't qualify so it won't matter.

[Calihog]

missouri school of journalism one of the tops in the nation...

Missouri and Columbia (in NYC)

This guy redshirted last year and will replace daniel, http://rivals100.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=1&pr_key=55586

he looks pretty good. Mizzou plays in a really weak conference, they could be one of the top 2-3 pretty consistently. Pinkel is a good coach.

[mizzouman]

Missouri and Columbia (in NYC)

Mizzou, Northwestern and Syracuse, in that order.
