As long as head coach Dennis Gates has been present on the sidelines for the Tigers, the recruitment effort has seen a massive jump in success in all aspects.
So far this offseason Mizzou has been able to pick up a number of transfers and commitments from incoming freshman, as well as bringing back old staff. while simultaneously attracting new ones.
The last month-plus has been virtually silent in terms of basketball, as the Tigers have brought in just two players, both of them 3-stars, proving their intent to bring in quality rather than quantity.
It also seems as if the team is focusing more on the 2026 class, and not as much on the 2025 one.
