With Fugitt, Mendoza, Steed, and Sinclair, Mizzou has 3 returning AA's and another good shot with Mendoza. But they have finished outside the top ten for the last 3 seasons, not where Mizzou fans are used to being. Also, too many Mizzou guys lately have either regressed, transferred, or looked HEW'ed out in their final season. Smith is going into his 28th year at Mizzou, and he needs to show that he can keep up with the changes in the sport.
