Mizzou lands pledge from Milwaukee transfer DeAndre Gholston

COLUMBIA, Mo. - New Missouri basketball coach Dennis Gates has landed his second recruit in two days, securing a verbal commitment from a player he should know well from the Horizon League. Milwaukee senior guard DeAndre Gholtson, who played against Gates' Cleveland State's team five times the last two seasons, announced his pledge to Mizzou on Saturday. With just one year of eligibility, he'll add some perimeter scoring and experience to MU's backcourt.

Gholston is a 6-5 guard from Gary, Indiana, who has played for three college programs over the last four years, including the last two seasons at Milwaukee, where he averaged 15.
