Last year’s Mizzou Basketball season was disappointing to say the least. Despite having Aijha Blackwell and Hayley Frank entering their junior seasons — and boasting a deep and talented bench of veteran contributors — the team was unable to overcome a slew of off-court stories and earn their first trip to the NCAA Tournament in several seasons. To top it off, Blackwell and a number of other important pieces exited via the transfer portal, leaving Pingeton’s roster in flux.
In response, Pingeton appears to be shaking up her staff through addition. On Tuesday, the program announced the hiring of a rising star in the coaching ranks: Georgia alum Jasmine James.
