You can all take a breath now. Almost a month after his hiring and five commitments, coach Dennis Gates has his point guard.
Missouri earned a commitment from Sean East, who earned JUCO Player of the Year Honors at John A. Logan College. The pledge also gives the Tigers the top two prospects in JUCORecruiting.com’s rankings for the 2022 class. On paper, East, who also visited BYU and South Florida, also claimed the Tigers’ last scholarship slot — for now.
East further reinforces the idea that Gates’ deep ties to the junior-college market are a potential boon.
