Mizzou made it into John Bol's top 8. He has a visit scheduled for Sept 23. He's a 5 star recruit and he's either 7' or 7'1". 2024 class and surprising no relation to Bol Bol. He'd be an insane guy to get, so let hope it happens. Dear God please lol. [Reply]
Watching videos of this kid and holy shit is he smooth. He's not like most of those 7' monsters. He's got great control of his body. I want him more than anyone ever lol. [Reply]
Got to give Kobe credit. Takes a lot of hard work and gym time to improve your outside shot as much as he did over the course of his Mizzou career. Happy for him, glad it paid off. [Reply]
Going to miss Kobe this year. He was so fun to watch. But having a player go first round has to help going forward you would think. Best of luck Kobe [Reply]
Another 4* recruit for Dennis Gates. This one is the #55 recruit in the nation according to 247. Marcus fucking Allen 6'6" 190 lb PF from Miami, Fl.
Seems like his relationship with our coach Charlton Young was a pretty big deciding factor. The guys been recruiting him since he was young. Weren't people excited about this Young dude when he came here, because of his recruiting prowess?
With the addition of Allen to go along with T.O. Barrett this brings the class to #11 lol. It's early, so hopefully we can get some even bigger commits. [Reply]
Allen has a nice rating, but seems like a real project. Better than the years when Kevin Puryear was the feather in the cap, but I wouldn't expect much out of him until mid-late sophomore year. [Reply]
