Each Wednesday, PowerMizzou.com publisher Gabe DeArmond and recruiting editor Pete Scantlebury will answer questions from subscribers in our Tiger Mailbag. This feature will allow for longer, more in-depth answers than you may get on the message board on a daily basis. To have your question in next week's mailbag, send an email to Gabe at powermizzou@gmail.com. On to this week's inquiries:

GD: The player is Marlo Finner, who has been back at Mizzou quite a few times. But I haven't seen or heard anything that leads me to believe Missouri is a player for Parker.

GD: Camps start this weekend in St. Louis and run through next Sunday in Kansas City (including camps in CoMo and Springfield). We'll have complete coverage of all of them including a list of prospects to watch in each location in the Chamber on Friday.

GD: Pinkel has said many times they are going to more or less do what they do scheme-wise. There may be some tweaks in the coming years, but for now, the players Missouri has were recruited to run the systems they run and I don't see major changes at all this season.

GD: To be brutally honest, I don't think it's a great game. The simple fact is that colleges don't get the best talent. The best talent is drafted straight out of high school. Guys like Kobe, Lebron, Garnett are the exception in basketball. Most great players went to college (now virtually all of them). In football, they HAVE to go to college. In baseball, anytime you get an elite recruit, you have to hope he chooses you over the majors. That leads to a watered down talent pool. Plus, I think baseball fans like 4-2, 2-0, 6-5 games. In college, because of less pitching depth and metal bats, you see 12-9, 15-11, 10-8 with regularity. As far as Mizzou goes, I've often heard the phrase that Missouri football is jumping into the deep end of the pool in the SEC. If that's the case, baseball is jumping into the ocean. Baseball is the second major sport at a lot of SEC schools. The Tigers, right now, are somewhere in the 11-14 range as a program in all honesty.

GD: I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't promote my Rivals brethren in the Southeast. Just type in the school name.rivals.com to go to any of those sites. Saturdays Down South is good, so is Mr. SEC. I also think the SEC does a great job with its own site. Big12sports.com was pretty good, but the SEC site has had even more that I think would interest people.

GD: The 70's are before my time. I know Willie Smith has to be on it along with Kim Anderson, but I just don't know enough about the teams to pick a full team. I wasn't even born until '76. In the 80's, it's Stipo, Sundvold, Chevious, Doug Smith (he played in the 80's and 90's) and Byron Irvin for me. The 90's is Booker, Smith, Peeler, O'Liney and Crudup. Quin's teams would go with Rush, Kleiza, Johnson, Paulding or Gilbert (I'd lean Clarence) and Dooling. Anderson's team is Carroll, Lyons, Lawrence, Denmon and Bowers, I guess. Haith's team is last year. Of the five I completed, I'd go with the 80's team as the top seed beating last year's team and Quin's team beating the 90's team. I'll take the 80's Tigers over Quin's as the best "all-era squad" Mizzou can put together.

GD: I don't think there's any question right now it's defensive tackle. I just don't see the depth the Tigers will need. They're addressing it by recruiting a TON of defensive tackles this year. I think you'll see five D-linemen in this class.

GD: All freshmen are expected on campus by June 4th. As far as Franklin, Pinkel said at the SEC meetings today that he was ahead of schedule and starting to throw a Nerf ball.

GD: That group has a TON of potential. But to steal a line from Pinkel, let's not start building any statues yet. Only Moe has done a lot at the college level. Lucas and Washington had some big moments last year, but they have to do it every week now. There's every reason to think DGB will be big-time, but he hasn't even had a college practice yet. Anytime you start talking about great wide receiving corps, just go back to 06-07 when Missouri had Maclin, Rucker, Coffman, Danario, Franklin, Saunders and Perry. That's seven guys who had at least a shot in an NFL camp and five of the top ten receivers in school history all on the same roster. This year has a long way to go before we start discussing them with that group.

GD: I don't really remember how much they used it in camp, but yes, I expect to see it this year. Madison, Sam, Ealy and Ray could all be the inside guy, I think.

GD: Pressey, Dixon, Bowers, Oriakhi and either Bell or Ross start. You figure out which of the two (Bell or Ross) will be more able to handle being a sixth man and start the other one. That guy and Brown and Criswell get a lot of minutes off the bench. Webster-Chan probably gets decent minutes too. The rest pick up the scraps this season.

GD: Honestly, I haven't studied it enough to give you the pros and cons of each scenario. And I haven't talked to anyone in the SEC office about their thoughts. Hate to dodge the question, but at this point, I just don't have a satisfactory answer for you.
