Class of 2026 three-star defensive end Yahya Gaad told @samspiegelman he will announce his commitment Thursday, choosing between Florida State, Georgia, Texas and Washington. Gaad was one of four edge rushers Missouri offered by director of player personnel Ryan Trichel in November, but Gaad was the lone one to tell MizzouToday he planned to look into a visit for the end of the month. He never ended up making it to the Arkansas game, though.

He's expected to choose Texas.

Update: Gaad delayed his commitment announcement to a date to be determined.

Three-star safety Nick Reddish slotted Missouri, the first SEC school to offer him, into his Top 10 before co-defensive coordinator and his primary recruiter D.J. Smith left for Appalachian State.

Yet even with Smith gone, Reddish's feelings toward the Tigers haven't changed.

"Even though he's off his staff, I feel like it's not going to change how I feel about them," Reddish said. "I definitely have some different feeling towards D.J. Smith, but it's not going to change. ... Other people on the staff showed a lot of love, and that's why they're in my Top 10 now."

Beautiful this time of year. Great weather. No cold at all.

Happy New Years.
