Here are today’s Mizzou Links.

Missouri’s Thursday announcements that Malik Young hadn’t qualified and Nate Howard had been dismissed were certainly disappointing, but it’s hard to say they were surprising. The simple fact that Young hadn’t been cleared yet was a sign he might not ever be cleared; meanwhile, since Howard’s arrest in June, his status was tenuous at best.

Surprising or not, the loss of Howard confirms a particular need. While the two other JUCO tackles — Walter Palmore and Rashad Brandon — seem to be getting up to speed and helping to provide depth on the interior, there is really only one known quantity at end at this point: Marcell Frazier.
