We’ve all heard the story at this point. When Dennis Gates took on the job at Cleveland State the roster was in shambles, and his first recruit was Tre Gomillion. Gomillion was a qualifier out of high school who played a year at Gordon State College, a JUCO in Central Georgia. He had no real offers, but Gates saw something in him. From there the two formed a bond, and together they rebuilt a moribund Horizon League into back to back Champions.
When Gates accepted the Missouri job, he knew he wanted to infuse Gomillion’s personality into the program.
