COLUMBIA, Mo. — Dennis Gates’ two best players from his debut Missouri season are off to Los Angeles. Now it’s time to shift focus to the 2023-24 Tigers.
Mizzou has held offseason workouts for the past couple weeks with a revamped roster that will include 11 newcomers, including walk-ons, once everyone reports to Columbia. Junior college transfer Curt Lewis and newly signed center Connor Vanover are finishing academic work at their past schools before they can join their new teammates, the team confirmed. Otherwise, Gates has mixed seven returning players from last year’s 25-win team with nine new faces.
