2026-27 Mizzou Men’s Basketball Preview: Posts
Previous position previews: Point guards, Combo guards, Wings, Combo forwards
The post position has been a bit of a revolving door for Mizzou during Dennis Gates’ tenure in Columbia.
Noah Carter had a solid first season in Columbia before seriously regressing in year two, then his graduation gave way to a pair of one year transfers in Josh Gray and Shawn Phillips Jr.
MU’s lack of an elite big man or the depth required to solve for that issue has been a sticking point for the Tigers the last few seasons, holding them back in a conference that has seen plenty of elite bigs recently.
