It took all of ~48 hours for Mizzou’s scholarship situation to clear up.
After a weekend that saw Sean East and D’Moi Hodge join Dennis Gates’ team in Columbia, Missouri sat one scholarship over the limit. As Sam pointed out on Sunday, Gates and his staff technically don’t need to be back at the limit until August 1. But they didn’t need to wait that long for the situation to resolve. After spending the past nine months committed to the Tigers, East St. Louis point guard Christian Jones announced on Monday that he’d be requesting out of his National Letter of Intent, effectively re-opening his recruitment.
