COLUMBIA, Mo. — Webster Groves guard Scottie Adkinson verbally committed to Missouri on Tuesday, putting the St. Louis area's premier basketball prospect on track to star for his home state school.
Adkinson, who was the Post-Dispatch All-Metro player of the year after leading the Statesmen to a Class 5 state title as a sophomore, is a highly touted class of 2027 recruit. He's rated as a four-star prospect by 247Sports, which ranks him as the No. 2 player in Missouri and No. 37 nationally in that class.
For Mizzou coach Dennis Gates, Adkinson's early commitment is a recruiting win.
