Did any of you guys watch this game last night? I watched because the Sportsline guy liked South Alabama +7.5 and I put 25$ on it.

Holly hell, they have two freshmen that were awesome. Gio Lopez and Fluff Bothwell looked unbelievable. Some team is going to go after these two players pretty hard. I would love it if it were Mizzou. Bonus, Gio Lopez is a lefty with some serious wheels and a good arm. He is built like a Mac truck too. Speaking of a Mac truck, Fluff Bothwell is a 220lbs back that looks to have about 10% body fat at most. If you have You Tube tv, I would suggest you watch this game and those 2 players.

FOOTBALL RECRUITING

- Missouri will host Vanderbilt on Saturday in hopes of starting their season 4-0 and 1-0 in league play. With their first SEC game of the season on deck, the Tigers are expected to host a handful of notable visitors from the 2025 & 2026 classes, here is a breakdown below:

COMMITS:

Shaun Terry
Henry Fenuku
Jack Lange

2025 TARGETS:

Login to view embedded media
- Savoury has been committed to Michigan State since June 17th and is the third 2025 TE target Missouri has hosted so far this season. The Tigers had Dakotah Terrell on campus for the Buffalo win and Nebraska commit Jeremiah Jones was back on campus last weekend for the BC win.

Like Terrell and Jones, Savoury was also a late summer offer for Missouri after the Tigers missed on their original targets (Chase Loftin, Brody Lennon) during the summer.

2026 TARGETS:

Login to view embedded media
- The No. 2 prospect in the 2026 class is expected back on campus this weekend. Cantwell started his fall gameday tour at Nebraska back on September 7th and is expected to visit Georgia and Alabama (when they play Missouri) in October and LSU in November.

Cantwell was last on Mizzou's campus back in March for spring practice, another visit to campus is always a good thing as the Tigers want to stay in his top group. He is obviously going to be the headliner here. It's been thought to be Mizzou and Georgia a bit ahead of the back for a while, but he's taking a lot of visits and will take a lot more so it's a little soon to start eliminating anyone from the race quite yet. But the Tigers will put their best foot forward this weekend.

Login to view embedded media
- Best camped at Missouri and picked up an offer from the Tigers back in June. The four-star just visited Oklahoma, who is making a strong push. Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and Texas are some of his other notable offers.

Login to view embedded media
- A Rivals250 wide receiver has been communicating a lot with Mizzou's staff and likes their offensive scheme and explosive plays their wide receivers make. Robinson has clocked 10.44 in the 100 meters and tallied 46 catches and had 1,038 all-purpose yards in just 8 games in 2023.

- Harris is coming off a visit to Illinois, but he's also plenty familiar with Missouri as well with multiple visits under his belt already. We recently caught up with Harris in St. Louis, who said Missouri is among the schools recruiting him the hardest right now. Missouri was the first school to extend an offer to Harris and so far that is holding a lot of weight in his recruiting process.

NEBRASKA COMMIT JEREMIAH JONES BACK AT MIZZOU
BIG TEN WR COMMIT PLANNING RETURN VISIT TO MIZZOU

FLIP WATCH

There are two current commits we are keeping an eye on. As we posted last night, we've gotten information that three-star Alabama safety Dyllon Williams is on alert for a switch to Kentucky. Mizzou sources still feel pretty good and it seems he's saying the right things to the staff, but we believe a flip is still a strong possibility. Missouri will try to hold on to him. It's not a situation where he's been pushed out. We'll see how it goes.

The other one people have been watching is Lamont Rogers, who visited Texas A&M for the season opener against Notre Dame. Rogers doesn't do much public talking, but we checked around this week and there hasn't been much change here. Even before he made a commitment we told you this one would go down to the wire. Getting him was a lot better than not getting him, but was no assurance you would keep him. That's still the case. Missouri feels reasonably confident here, but certainly not comfortable because they've known--like everyone else has--they were in for a battle all the way till December. If anything changes, we'll keep you up to date.

FOOTBALL RECRUITING

BUFFALO VISIT RECAPS

- Missouri hosted a handful of visitors this past weekend for their shutout win over Buffalo. The Tigers dished out two new offers in the 2026 class and hosted a rising 2025 tight end target as well.

We provided some reaction and information on all the significant visitors at the links below.

2025:

OL commit Jack Lange enjoys "crazy" atmosphere at Missouri
Rising 2025 TE target Dakotah Terrell takes in Mizzou visit

2026:

In-state TE target Jack Utz back at Missouri
2026 CB Justin Hopkins earns offers during Missouri visit
2026 DE Ronelle Johnson the latest in-state target for Mizzou

BOSTON COLLEGE VISITS

- The Tigers are set to host 24th ranked Boston College on Saturday. Here are a few notable visitors that are expected on campus for the Tigers' clash with the Eagles.

Login to view embedded media
- Lange will make a return visit to Missouri this weekend after visiting for the Buffalo game. He'll be a frequent visitor throughout the season.

Login to view embedded media
- After visiting Missouri in late July and picking up an offer from the Tigers. Jones will return to campus for another unofficial visit with Mizzou. He is one of Missouri's top TE targets on their board along with above mentioned Dakotah Terrell, who visited last week for the Buffalo game.

Login to view embedded media
- A Top100, in-state target. Walker is high on Mizzou's wish list at running back in the 2026 class. He's already been on campus a few times already, his last trip to Mizzou was back in May. Walker was at Nebraska last weekend.

Login to view embedded media
- Davis is another top guy in the Show Me State in 2026. He was on campus for Missouri's season-opener against Murray State. He's expected back on campus this weekend. Always a good sign for Mizzou.

MORE 2025 CLASS INFO:

Login to view embedded media
- On Wednesday, Missouri extended an offer to Hasstrup, a fast-rising defensive end who has seen his recruiting process explode in the last couple of weeks. He only started playing football this year, but his early season film is creating quite a bit of buzz and the Tigers are one of the latest schools to jump in the mix. He has been a track guy previously, posting 10.7 in the 100-meters. He's currently not too familiar with Missouri and told us he has a visit to LSU scheduled in a few weeks. So, we'll see if Mizzou can make some traction here going forward.

- Missouri has also continued communicating with a pair of Michigan commits in four-star WR Jacob Washington along with four-star RB Jasper Parker. Washington is quite familiar with Mizzou, having taken a summer official with the Tigers before choosing the Wolverines. Parker is someone Missouri offered back in April, so they've been involved with him for a while and seem to still be on the lookout for a second running back in this class to join Jamarion Morrow. Combine that with the two tight end targets, Jeremiah Jones and Dakotah Terrell, we mentioned above along with impending decision of Rivals250 OL Andrew Babalola and you get a sense of what Missouri would like to add to their 2025 class that is currently ranked 16th nationally. NOBODY knows what's going on for sure with Babalola. He's basically gone silent. Media sources, coaching sources, recruiting sources, doesn't matter. Everybody's just asking everybody else "What are you hearing?" And nobody's hearing anything other than he could decide at any time and we aren't sure where he'll go.

BASKETBALL RECRUITING

After last weekend, we posted an update on where things stand. Nothing much has changed since then.

Those are the four likely players to make up Mizzou's class. The question is how many of the four the Tigers get. The confidence level on Davion Hannah is very high. He is scheduled to visit Wisconsin this weekend. We do not know for sure if that visit is happening. Mizzou, Michigan State and Cincinnati were all in to see him this week. There may have been more, but those are the ones we know were there based on various reports.

Other players Dennis Gates visited this week:

Jalan Haralson
JJ Andrews
Scottie Adkinsonhttps://n.rivals.com/content/athletes/miles-simpson-324937?view=pv
Miles Simpson

When we have more, we'll let you know.

I did a version of this article last year looking at how common it was for coaches to make it to March Madness in both of their first two seasons with a program. With Dennis Gates’ third year coming up and two wildly different seasons under his belt, I thought it’d be good to do a bit more digging and look at the coaches who have been in similar spots before and how successful (or unsuccessful) they were.

And the reason I want to specifically at look at whether or not they made the NCAA tournament is because, in general that’s the goal of every high-major program every single year. There are some programs who have higher expectations, for sure. But in general, unless you’re Shaka Smart at Texas, making it to March grants you some job security.

There were some ground rules in my research. I only looked at coaches who were active during the 2023-24 season. I only included high-major coaches because the process to get into the tourney is different if you’re a mid-major — the only way to get an at-large bid is to either rack up a few wins over big schools and/or dominate your conference in the regular season. I obviously couldn’t include coaches who, like Gates, haven’t reached their third year with their current program. And for coaches who had one of their first three years coincide with the 2019-20 season in which there wasn’t a tournament, I pulled a KenPom and just went with the consensus from BracketMatrix.com for that year (those coaches will have an asterisk by their name if they would’ve made the tournament that season).

Here’s what I found:

Coaches who didn’t make the tournament in their first, second or third year

Mike Boynton, Oklahoma State
Jeff Capel III, Pitt
Chris Collins, Northwestern
Scott Drew, Baylor
Steve Forbes, Wake Forest
Earl Grant, Boston College
Jerod Haase, Stanford
Leonard Hamilton, Florida State
Fred Hoiberg, Nebraska
Ben Johnson, Minnesota
Fran McCaffery, Iowa
Porter Moser, Oklahoma
Bruce Pearl, Auburn
Steve Pikiell, Rutgers
Kelvin Sampson, Houston
Craig Smith, Utah
Kyle Smith, Washington State
Jerry Stackhouse, Vanderbilt
Tony Stubblefield, DePaul
Buzz Williams, Texas A&M

Coaches who didn’t make the tournament in their first or second year, but did in their third

Dana Altman, Oregon
Rick Barnes, Tennessee
Tony Bennett, Virginia
Andy Enfield, USC
Bobby Hurley, Arizona State
Dan Hurley, UConn
Tom Izzo, Michigan State
Tommy Lloyd, Arizona
Brad Underwood, Illinois*

Coaches who made the tournament in their first and second years, but didn’t in their third

Greg Gard, Wisconsin
Mike Woodson, Indiana

Coaches who made the tournament in their first, second and third years

John Calipari, Kentucky
Mick Cronin, UCLA*
Chris Holtmann, Ohio State*
Juwan Howard, Michigan*
T.J. Otzelberger, Iowa State
Bill Self, Kansas
Shaka Smart, Marquette

I don’t have much to say about these groups because their situations aren’t necessarily applicable to Gates’. But I still wanted to include them for posterity because, dang it, I did a lot of research on this!

There are plenty of coaches in those first two groups who aren’t very good and/or got fired this offseason. But I think people might be surprised by some of the big names included in there — Izzo! The Hurleys! Bennett! Drew! Mike Krzyzewski and the great Norm Stewart would’ve been in that first group if they were still coaching. Jay Wright would’ve been in the second.

Looking at the second and fourth groups makes you realize how important the third year is for head coaches. There are some exceptions — Enfield, Holtmann and Howard were dismissed by their schools — but everyone else in those groups either was or is very established with where they’re at. You can’t really say the same about the pair of guys in group three.

Coaches who didn’t make the tournament in their first year, made it in their second, then missed it in their third

Jamie Dixon, TCU
Mike Hopkins, Washington
Jim Larranaga, Miami
Wayne Tinkle, Oregon State

Coaches who didn’t make the tournament in their first year, but did in their second and third

Tad Boyle, Colorado
Greg McDermott, Creighton
Eric Musselman, Arkansas
Nate Oats, Alabama
Matt Painter, Purdue
Mike Young, Virginia Tech

Comparing these coaches to Gates is a bit like apples and oranges. They’re not really the same, but they’re still fruit. These groups had a more linear progression through their first two seasons than Gates did, but still had something to prove going into Year 3.

And in most cases, that third season ended up making or breaking that coach’s tenure. It took Larranaga two years to get back to the tournament. It took Dixon three. Tinkle’s made one other appearance in 10 years with the Beavers. Hopkins was fired this offseason after failing to make it with the Huskies for five consecutive years.

The only coach in the second group who hasn’t been back to the Big Dance multiple times since making an appearance in their third year is Young, and it’s only been two years since his last appearance. Boyle is coming off one of his best seasons with the Buffaloes and McDermott, Musselman, Oats and Painter all now routinely play in March.

Coaches who made the tournament in their first year, but didn’t in their second or third

Brad Brownell, Clemson

Coaches who made the tournament in their first year, didn’t make it in their second, then made it in their third

Hubert Davis, North Carolina
Kevin Keatts, NC State*

So here they are, the three coaches who have been where Gates is right now.

Davis made a run to the championship game in 2022 and retained most of his roster heading into the next year but struggled against a tough non-conference schedule, barely made it above .500 in ACC play and didn’t go far in the conference tourney, missing out on a bid in 2023. The Tar Heels bounced back last year, winning 29 games and reaching the Sweet 16. But that’s a blue blood. A down year is often the exception, not the norm.

Keatts is a bit of an interesting case. The Wolfpack made an appearance in the Big Dance in 2018, won 24 games the following season but ended up in the NIT and were squarely on the bubble in 2020, leaning toward making it in before the COVID-19 pandemic shut the postseason down. Keatts’ teams were sub-.500 the next two years, returned to the tournament in 2023, then went on a Cinderella run in March this year, going all the way to the Final Four as an 11 seed.

Brownell made the tournament in 2011, but didn’t make it back until 2018, when he went on a Sweet 16 run. The Tigers’ patience with Brownell paid off this season with 24 wins, the most in the coach’s 14-year tenure with Clemson, and a trip to the Elite Eight.

Keatts and Brownell both inked contract extensions this offseason. Davis earned one after his first year — as did Gates. At the very least, a strong third year provides some security.

I think one of the reasons these groups are as small as they are is because, even with the free transfer rule making roster construction significantly easier, it’s still really difficult to make the tourney in your first year. I looked into who some of the winningest coaches of all time were who faced a similar scenario:

-Henry Iba, Oklahoma State (1957-70) - Reached the Elite Eight in 1958 and ‘65 but missed the tournament in all of his other 11 seasons with the Cowboys, though only 23-25 teams made it back then.

-Ray Meyer, DePaul (1942-84) - Made the Final Four in 1943, was the NIT Runner-up in ‘44, the NIT Champion in ‘45 and didn’t make it back to the tournament until 1953. He did, however, go on to make eight Sweet 16s, two Elite Eights and a run to the Final Four in 1979.

-Denny Crum, Louisville, (1971-2001) - Made the Final Four in 1972, was an NIT Quarterfinalist in ‘73 and reached the Sweet 16 in ‘74. He went on to make another 14 Sweet 16s, six Elite Eights, five Final Fours and won the championship in 1980 and ‘86.

-Gary Williams, Boston College (1982-86) - Made the Sweet 16 in ‘83, only went to the second round of the NIT in ‘84, then returned to the Sweet 16 in ‘85. He went on to have more success at Maryland — after missing out on the tournament his first four seasons there, he ended up making another seven Sweet 16s, went to the Final Four in 2001 and won the championship in ‘02.

That was obviously a different time in basketball. Three-point shots weren’t even introduced until 1986, let alone utilized the way basketball teams do now. Even the modern coaches who have been in a similar spot as Gates has before didn’t have quite as bad of a year as he did in 2023-24. It’ll take a big climb back up for him to earn a bid this year.

There’s one other coach that’s probably worth mentioning: Cuonzo Martin, who made the tournament in his first season at Missouri, missed it the next two years, made it back in 2021 but bottomed out with a 12-21 season in 2021-22. That’s the path that Gates will need to avoid.

The group of survivors was cut exactly in half. 35 were eliminated and 35 will move on. Thank Georgia for most of the carnage.
