I know many people don't care about players who went elsewhere, but some of us do like following local kids, whether they were recruited by Mizzou or not. And while TSKA was HC, I don't blame any of them for leaving the state with a Mizzou offer in hand. Here is a look at current players from Missouri high schools (per Rivals database) who are still playing college basketball. No, not all are listed, but most that are having decent careers or where recruited well are listed below. I know some other kids also went to prep, etc out of state and won't be here.

There has been a lot of nice players come out of Missouri the last 5 years. Many kids are doing well at mid-majors. A handful of kids each year are doing well with major programs. There are definitely some kids who left Missouri who would be contributing right now.

NOTE: bolded text just draws attention to a person... could mean a miss for Mizzou, could just be a kid that is doing very well.
