How Mizzou men adding guard Tony Perkins fits Dennis Gates' transfer portal plan

COLUMBIA, Mo. — As the college basketball transfer portal reaches its swell, Missouri got its second pickup of the offseason at a position of need.

Former Iowa guard Tony Perkins has committed to Mizzou as a transfer, he announced Monday morning on his Instagram. He’s expected to have one year of eligibility to use with the Tigers.

As an experienced ballhandler, Perkins could serve as an important replacement for MU’s two outgoing point guards, Sean East II and Nick Honor, or slot alongside a different point guard.

Perkins picked Missouri over the likes of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Indiana and Oregon.
