The Alternate World of Gary Pinkel

I caught a little bit of Kevin Keitzman interviewing Missouri coach Gary Pinkel during the five o'clock show on signing day. Keitzman asked if it was a little more difficult to recruit in the Kansas City area just over the state line, noting that a few of the 2007 MU commits came from the Johnson County area. Pinkel said no and that they considered all of Kansas City part of Missouri. In fact, they had a kid from Illinois sign as well just on the other side of St. Louis and he considered that part of Missouri as well. He considers all of them in-state recruits. Sure its minor, but after the "victory" over Iowa State, I'd recommend frequent check-ups. It seems Gary might be slipping away to an alternate reality. It's probably nothing, but the warning signs are there.
