Mizzou needs to win 16-17 games or more in order to have much of a chance of getting any of the kids visiting today.

PM was only able to confirm Mitchell and Nikko were signing today, Jackson never responded. Jackson is the best of the 3, hopefully he signs, the other two are just role players.

Good, I think he's the best of the 3 by a long shot imo.

Jackson signed, his HS coach sent out a tweet.
Of the 3 he is most likely to be able to make an immediate impact.

I like the potential of Smith. He's big, decently skilled, and very athletic buttoned in the weight room. needs

I will be interested in seeing how Smith progresses this season, he had a bad AAU season from what I saw, but everyone says he has potential if he can add strength and weight. He seems to want to be a stretch 4 and doesn't want to bang inside, which is not what we need.

Also think it was dumb to over sign in the fall period, why not take Jackson then if you do well get someone good in the spring? If not you could still sign Nikko and Smith caliber players, doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Nikko & Smith have signed as well. Both are developmental players. I don't anticipate either playing much before their junior years, in large part due to how young the current team is.

Do we have a commitment from a Willie Jackson or something like that? Fulford keeps tweeting about his games. Seems to be putting up big numbers. 42 points and 22 rebounds in a game??? Anyone have access to his game by game numbers?

Yes all 3 commits have already signed.

Jackson looks like he could be an instant impact guy.

He has played 2 games so far. Had 25 & 12 In his first game against one of the top team in Cleveland.

He's more of a wing type college body. But has played PF in HS and AAU.

Also the Porters team is playing CBC on ESPN3 right now.

Jackson's post move at the 25 second mark is a WAY better move than any we have seen at MIZ in the past 3 years. 2016 highlight

Mizzou is looking to add at least one more big for '16, on top of Dembele, also looking at Kavell Bigby-Williams, a 6’10 JUCO C


Both are from the UK. Bigby-Williams is averaging 17/13 in JUCO.

How many people we cutting? I think we're one over now. If we add two more, who goes?

I'm guessing Isabel and Allen. Isabel isn't really good enough to keep, especially from an attitude perspective. Allen seems to give good effort, but like most of the players on our team, I'm not sure the coaches know how to utilize him.

May depend on the outcome of the Gant/Woods arrest. Otherwise yea Allen & TI are most likely.

Bigby-Williams

Played on the U20 national team for England.
