Quotes & Notes: Good hands & Good old days

■ The Columbia Missourian's Andrew Dewitt writes about JuCo transfer Michael Liberto in Transfer takes over shortstop for MU
Liberto's journey to MU began with an email he got from recruiting coordinator Tony Vitello while Liberto was on the road last season. Liberto then came to watch Missouri play against Texas.

"Once I hung out with these guys, I knew it was going to be a good fit," Liberto said. "The players talked about how fun the coaches are and how laid back everything is."

Liberto started playing shortstop at age 10 and developed a reputation for getting to every ball hit up the middle of the infield. But Liberto never grew to a size that teams at the highest level look for.


Joe Walljasper of the Columbia Daily Tribune has some positive things to say about Mike Alden and the direction of the MU Athletic Department:
If you are a fan of the Missouri Tigers, the memory of lousy ol’ days should be fresh enough to realize these are the good ol’ days.
