Missouri State went 1-10 in 2019 and fired their football coach after the season. The Bears were odd ducks in 2020-2021 in that they played both the 2020 fall (going 0-3) and the 2021 spring (going 5-1 to reach the playoffs). Even though MSU returned the QB that led them to the playoffs in the spring (Jaden Johnson), they chose to bring in a 5th-year player (Jason Shelley) that had previously started games at QB for both Utah and Utah St. Shelley won the starting position and he led the Bear to a 21 pt. win yesterday. He was part of massive recruiting class that included 12 transfers from 4-year schools along with 7 junior college players.
I know I discussed Johnson/Shelly already in my pregame post but I'm repeatedly hearing about our "young team". If the problem is going to be repeated then I'm going to repeat the solution. Being young is a choice. It's a choice you make in the process known as the relentless pursuit of recruiting.
