Missouri expressed interest in Corey Washington, but the Wichita State transfer named a Top 6 of Creighton, Mississippi, Mississippi State, Southern Methodist, Texas A&M and USC, per his agency.

There’s a new roster spot to fill, so what does Marcus Allen leaving mean for the Tiger’s plans going forward?

I'm not, but SLU, and schools like it .. think Big East, will soon have $21 million to throw at athletes...BUT they have no football team to take care of. There war chest for basketball, before NIL, could be 12-15 million a season. Schools like MU are thought to be designating 75-85% of their 21 mil towards football. Seems a little unbalanced to me.

I haven’t gotten a chance to watch it yet, but I figure you guys will like what the team has done here.

Jamarcus Whyce admired the straight forwardness of the Tigers coaches during his June visit.

The Class of 2026 defensive tackle put Missouri in his Top 12 on March 17 along with Auburn, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Michigan State, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

"I think that the coaches love the way that I play with force and strike at the line," the three-star said, "and how I can be able to play any position on the defensive line."

Oklahoma hosted Noah Best once again this past Saturday, and according to OUInsider co-publisher Parker Thune, the Sooners felt even more comfortable about landing the Class of 2026 four-star, one with four FutureCasts set to Oklahoma.

Best will officially visit Missouri the final weekend of May, but likely the biggest adversary to Oklahoma for the Midlothian (Tex.) High interior offensive lineman will be in-state Southern Methodist.

Previously planning to visit Missouri for the first time March 20, Nalin Scott ended up not making the trip. Tigers wide receivers coach Jacob Peeler recruited Scott's wide receiver coach, T.J. Rahming, while a graduate assistant at California. Years later, that connection helped Peeler recruit Scott, a four-star in the 2026 class.

Assistant wide receivers coach Keyan Williams offered his first recruit in Class of 2027 safety Ta'Shawn Poole on March 21. Williams' relationship with Macon (Ga.) Howard coach Trey Porter sparked the interest between the two, and Poole recognized an unmatched passion from Williams.

"I know they want to see me at DB, free safety, because that's what I play," Poole said. "But I can also show my skills at wide receiver, and I know Coach Key would love to see it."

Pushing 30 offers, Landry Brede saw his scholarship from Missouri differently than the other schools interested in him.

"I don't know too much about Mizzou," Brede said, "but what made this offer stand out to me is that they are a very competitive team that I believe has a chance to compete for a national championship. That is something that I can't say for many of the other offers I have and really makes Mizzou stand out to me."

Offensive assistant Brendan Boylan extended a scholarship to Brede on Thursday. The two bonded over their home state of Ohio, and Boylan gave a breakdown to Brede of what he, offensive line coach Brandon Jones and assistant offensive line coach Jack Abercrombie liked from his junior season at Mentor (Ohio) High.

"It's good to have someone in the program that's from near my home," the Class of 2026 offensive tackle said. "I am working out a date to get there as soon as possible, so I can meet all the coaches and check out the place and see if it is somewhere I can see myself."

Updated this thread from Friday's new offers to a notebook.

Here’s a few players we know the Tigers have talked to in the portal who I think would be good additions.

It’s been a slow first week and a half of transfer portal action for Mizzou.

So let’s recap what I think should be next for the Tigers.

Mizzou’s new women’s basketball coach spent a year away from the court. And it just showed her how much she wanted to get back.

The Tigers cruised past Arizona, Arizona State and Georgia on the way to a regional finals berth. They will compete again Sunday.

He passed away last night.

Prayers to his family and friends.

We have lost a great Tiger.

The Tigers are hosting another No. 1 for a weekend series and we've got some morning softball to kick off the weekend because of coming rain (10 a.m. is too early for sports, but oh well).

Marissa McCann (7-7, 3.52 ERA, 99.1 IP, 73 K) is in the circle for the opener.

Texas will send Tegan Kavan (15-2, 1.58 ERA, 97.2 IP, 130 K) to the circle.

She will face a Tiger lineup of:

C Julia Crenshaw (.373, 10 HR, 25 RBI)
RF Stefania Abruscato (.257, 3 HR, 15 RBI)
3B Kara Daly (.294, 8 HR, 27 RBI)
DP Taylor Ebbs (.319, 7 HR, 22 RBI
SS Madison Uptegrove (.240, 2 HR, 11 RBI)
1B Madison Walker (.246, 13 HR, 34 RBI)
2B Sophie Smith (.250, 1 HR, 6 RBI)
CF Kayley Lenger (.192, 1 HR, 6 RBI)
LF Mya Dodge (.206, 1 HR, 6 RBI)

When Evan Boehm conducted his research of Cooper Hackett, he admired the offensive tackle's athleticism in basketball.

Boehm, a former Missouri lineman now serving as the assistant director of player personnel and recruiting relations, offered Hackett on Wednesday. Boehm enjoyed watching Hackett's 6-foot-7, 250-pound frame move with ease on the court.

"He wants me to come up soon," Hackett said. "I can meet him and see how I can fit in with the team and coaches. ... He also liked that he hasn't heard anything negative about me."

While on the court this past season, Hackett, the No. 198 recruit in the 2027 class, played against Tigers signee Dakotah Terrell for Fort Gibson (Okla.) High.

As mentioned in two previous threads, this was expected. It will be announced soon:

The astounding college career of Tiger great Keegan O'Toole came to an end last night. And for the first time, he ended the season with a loss.

Mizzou was able to take out some of its recent frustrations on the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions on Tuesday. Though still allowed 10 runs as the pitching continued to struggle.

Per source, Missouri welcomed Grossmont College punter John Butcher for a visit Wednesday. The Tigers, who currently only have Stanford transfer Connor Weselman rostered for 2025, are currently in the market for a second leg.
