After a tough loss in the first round of the NCAA Tournament this past season, head coach Dennis Gates is doing everything in his power to make sure it doesn't happen again. Gates is working his magic on the recruiting trail for the Tigers as he already has one 5-star recruit, Jason Crowe Jr., and he has just officially landed his second.
Toni Bryant, a 5-star forward out of Zephyrhills, Florida, officially made his commitment to the Tigers after an official visit this past weekend in Columbia. Bryant chose the Tigers over huge blue blood programs like Arizona, UNC, Florida State, NC State, and Border War rival Kansas.
