COLUMBIA, MO. • Kim Anderson will welcome at least five newcomers to Missouri’s men’s basketball team the first week of June, but the Tigers aren’t done recruiting for the current incoming class. Anderson isn’t sure how he’ll use his two available scholarships for the 2016-17 season — or if he’ll use them at all.
Sophomore forward Jakeenan Gant’s decision to leave the team and transfer has Anderson looking for a frontcourt player in the final weeks of the spring singing period.
“We need a big guy, but I don’t want to take somebody just to be taking them,” Anderson said Friday after a public screening of the new ESPN documentary on former Mizzou coach Norm Stewart.
