Either way, if he goes to Mizzou…you have my props on getting him. He will be a nice addition to any team.
I think the difference - and the confidence my young friend here displays - is I don't think UK people really grasp the degree to which Mizzou adores the Booker family. It's not just a legacy pick, Devin's dad and Mizzou have a long love affair that stems way before his son even existed. Devin knows that and that's the reason he feels so much adoration every time he goes to CoMo and its making an impact. It's not just your usual legacy recruitment. Am trying to think of a good analogy because (compliment incoming) UK has so many amazing players, but say for sake of argument it was Jamal Mashburn's kid or one of the Unforgettables' kids or something. It would mean more to you than just the usual 5 star recruit you see every year, and UK fans would approach it that way. So has Mizzou, which is why UK needs to understand that, though not the #1 player in the country, Cal will probably have put in that much of a great effort in the Booker case, and you should not underscore how crushing a blow it will be to Mizzou if Cal does reel him in. It's something that will define the way these two programs interact moving forward in the new reality of being conference mates.

Good post. I think Mizzou fans are trying to find their Kansas in the SEC. I think UK is the replacement of the Jayhawks for hate.
