Mizzou Quote of the Day:

“He’s been an oak. I never once worried about him. Not one time... I think Williams, when he made his commitment in August, I don’t think he even kind of wavered, contrary to what other people might have reported on Twitter."—Missouri head football coach Eli Drinkwitz on five-star commit Williams Nwaneri.
