Football: 7-1 and heading towards landing multiple 5 stars in one recruiting class.
Basketball: Coming off our best season in over a decade and currently have the best 2024 recruiting class in the country.
Great time to be a Tiger. 🐯
Mizzou Basketball:
- 12-1 record and soon to be in the AP Top 25
- Number 2 in offensive efficiency in the country per KenPom
- Top 30 in tempo per KenPom
- 3 Top 100 signees in 2023 recruiting class
- Many high level targets remain in 2023 & 2024
The start of something special
We’re firmly locked into the NCAA Tournament field before the SEC Tournament has even started in year 1 under Dennis Gates. What an incredible job by this team and staff no matter how this season goes from here on out.
Now that Luther Burden has officially signed with Mizzou, we have a jersey to give away! Will send someone $120 to purchase their very own Luther Burden jersey if and when they become available.
Hoops additions this off-season:
Isiaih Mosley
Noah Carter
Mabor Majak
D’Moi Hodge
Tre Gomillion
Aidan Shaw
Nick Honor
Sean East
Mo Diarra
That’ll play. 🐯
Mizzou Prep commits under Gates:
Trent Pierce (
#83
)
Jordan Butler (
#126
)
Anthony Robinson (
#146
)
T.O. Barrett (
#93
)
These are the types of kids that develop over 3-4 years and contribute to winning basketball. Keep on building.

has logged an expert prediction for Missouri to land 4-star WR Courtney Crutchfield🐯
He announced his decommitment from Arkansas on Saturday.
Read:
Coach Drinkwitz “If you play (High School) football in the state of Missouri, then you will play for the University of Missouri.” I love this guy!!!
#DrinkUp
Ennis Rakestraw, Akayleb Evans, and Allie Green IV is legitimately one of the best CB trios in the country. Decent chance all 3 are NFL players at some point.
So the league leader in steals doesn't make all defense and the coach that was picked 11th in the league and finished 4th with 12 new players doesn't even get a co-COY nod? what a joke
Mizzou Bowl Projection Roundup 11/27:
Action Network- Cotton v. Texas
ESPN- Peach v. Tulane
CBS - Peach v. Penn State
FOX Sports- Cotton v. Penn State
247Sports- Cotton v. Texas
S/o to Coach Gates and Coach Smithpeters who led the recruitment of Isiaih Mosley. Just a massive pickup, a scorer that we haven’t seen at Mizzou in some time.
The Mizzou fans mentality of “win games and well show up” is why we’ll never be elite in any sport. We just need to support our teams no matter what. End of story.
"If they go to Missouri they can kiss the NFL goodbye" has to be the absolute laziest take out there. We play in the SEC. We can and have gotten kids to the league. Come up with any other reason you want to cope with Mizzou stealing two 5 stars.
A couple takeaways: Tyler Macon is legitimately one of the best QB’s in america. And Miami tried to get in after the Elite 11 and he said he’s 100% to Mizzou. Our guy.

QB commit Tyler Macon had a terrific junior season and then a big performance at the Elite 11 Finals. His head coach at East St. Louis (Ill.) High in Darren Sunkett saw it all coming last summer:
BREAKING: Kansas State Cornerback Will Lee III tells me he plans to enter the Transfer Portal
The 6’3, 185 lb CB from Kirkwood, MO had 32 Solo Tackles, 6 Pass Deflections, 2 Ints, 1 FF, & 0 TD’s allowed this season for the Wildcats 👀
Will have 2 years of eligibility left
Adam at the end of the Marcus Allen commitment broadcast, "That is a RABID fan base at Missouri."
Everybody show the newest Mizzou Tiger some love.
Welcome home,
@marcusallenn_

Marcus Allen is in the top 1% in terms of his physical tools, measurables, & defense.
His upside will be tied to his offensive development.
He just committed to a Mizzou program with a pretty impressive recent record of player development.
Watch: I asked
#Mizzou
men's basketball coach Dennis Gates about the team's fourth-straight sellout at the Arena: "Get out of here. Man, that's outstanding."
He asked us (the media) our genuine reaction and if we would have expected this before the year started😂 listen ⤵️
- Eli Drinkwitz just took a shit on all of Manhattan
- Mevis is the GOAT
- Dennis is coming for all the croots
- John Kurtz is still crying in the press box
Tigers on top 🐯
Mizzou desperately needed this level of commitment to get rolling in the SEC in basketball. Hopefully the wins start to follow and we can continue to up our financial investment as needed.
Indiana transfer Tamar Bates is heavily considering Kansas State and Missouri, sources tell me.
Bates averaged 6.1 points as a sophomore. Former 4 star recruit.
Trey McKenney (
@mckenneytrey1
), the No. 10 overall recruit in the 2025 class, tells me he’s scheduled official visits to the following schools:
Ole Miss: September 30th
Missouri: October 6th
Georgetown: December 2nd
NEWS: Aaron Rowe (
@a_rowe_3
), the No. 18 overall prospect in the 2025 class, will announce his college decision LIVE on the On3 Recruits YouTube Channel on Tuesday, Dec. 12th at 4:15 PM CT.

Story:
new idea: everytime you line up to punt, snap it over the punters head so he has to run back and pick it up and then get clobbered and get a free first down
If this is the end of the Cuonzo Martin era at Mizzou, I want to thank Coach Martin for representing our program and university we all love so much with nothing but class. Would’ve been an incredible story to see a leader like that really get this thing going.
Stan Kroenke owned teams that now have won four championships in the past year and a half:
🏈 Rams: Super Bowl Champs (2/13/2022)
🥍 Colorado Mammoth: National Lacrosse League Champs (6/18/2022)
🏒 Colorado Avalanche: Stanley Cup Champs (6/26/2022)
🏀 Denver Nuggets: NBA Champs
I don’t think it can be overstated how huge Tray Jackson is for Mizzou. You miss on Liddell and replace him with a guy who some think may have a higher upside and is a very similar player. Huge.
#MIZ
The reality is we have no true answer at QB and Lovett is going into next year looking to become a first round pick, if going somewhere where he can play with a good QB is something he needs to do to help his draft stock then it’s hard to blame him.
Congrats
@MizzouFootball
on getting the momentum rolling on campus with your 7-1 start and national ranking! Best of luck the rest of the way!!
Extra thanks
@CoachDrinkwitz
for stopping by practice today as we look to follow the lead this year
