COLUMBIA, Mo. — Now that’s a recruiting win.

Five-star guard Jason Crowe Jr. became the second highest-ranked recruit to ever commit to Missouri men’s basketball, picking the Tigers during a Friday afternoon commitment ceremony.

Crowe, a 6-foot-3 combo guard from Inglewood, California, is ranked as the No. 5 player nationally in the 2026 recruiting class, per 247Sports.

He’s the highest-ranked recruit to commit to the Tigers since Michael Porter Jr. did so in 2017.

Crowe’s high school play style is heavy on scoring, particularly off the dribble. He’s a lefty who has the footwork and shot to be a threat from all parts of the floor.
