KA is doing great so far, just gotta land a big fish or 2. Puryear and VanLeer aren't going to cut it on their own.

I heard Kobi Simmons and Ted Kapita won't be here this weekend. Hopefully that's all that cancel. Antonio Blakeney and Isaiah Briscoe are already on campus I believe.

Read this earlier today if anyone is interested. My guess is he will try Oregon again next semester.

Former Huntington Prep/Evansville Bosse standout JaQuan Lyle will attend IMG Academy (FL) this semester.

Arkell Bruce said Huntington Prep PF Ted Kaptia plans to make an official visit to #Mizzou at a later date.


Don't blame him. I always wondered where parents come up with all the $$$ for the unofficial visits.

That was before they had to watch Mauk put everyone to sleep.

Any updates on the basketball guys who visited? I need some good news. I did see Blakeney and Briscoe at the game, they seemed to be enjoying themselves. I would LOVE to land them and Bryant.

I was at the game and saw them beforehand, the basketball team was driving them around in a golf cart around campus.

But I saw a lot of things that lead me to believe we won't land many of them.
- basketball team got announced during the game, not too great of an ovation
- game sucked, fans were very quiet and even sarcastic towards the end
- Lots of fans (including myself) left pretty early

none of those things ^^^ above look very good on Mizzou's part

I've been told by multiple people and read multiple reporters who said the cheer for the basketball team was the loudest ovation of the game.

I was at the game, people cheered loudly for the basketball team and coach KA. There wasn't much else to cheer about during that crap show of a game, but the basketball team definitely got some love. I've read that we feel good about all 3 of the big 2015 guys, but (my opinion here) I think we need to have a decent season, pitch immediate starting/playing time to these guys, and we need Kentucky to land their top guys at PG and SG as Briscoe and Blakeney are their backup plans if they miss.

OG Anunoby to Indiana. That's 2 players from Missouri that Indiana has taken. Personally, I liked Anunoby's athleticism and defense much more than Puryear's, but Puryear is a much thicker body and better offensive player right now than Anunoby. I will be interested in how Morgan and Anunoby do vs Vanleer and Puryear as their careers progress.

@AdamZagoria: 2015 @HuntingtonPrep big man Thomas Bryant is no longer considering Missouri, his mom tells @SNYtv . That leaves Indiana & Syracuse.

This really surprises me! I though we were in good shape with Bryant.

Anyone know anything?

Don't know anything, but a Gabe tweet from 30 minutes ago.

Backing up other recent tweets, based on what I am hearing I wouldn't cross #Mizzou off the list for Thomas Bryant at this time.


Tells me Mizzou is probably out if Gabe is saying that.
