This guy is rated #8 in the St. Louis Post Dispatch Super-30...and he will outperform that rating and his 3-star rating.
I can't say enough good things about this guy. He will not only be a starter...he will be a Team Captain some day.
When the rest of you get to know him...he's going to become one of your favorite Tigers.

STORY QUOTES: “He’s a 100 percent attendance guy in the weight room. He’s one of our hardest workers,” Troy coach Ryan Nesbitt said. “You’d never know his level of success is going around him by how he carries himself and that speaks volumes about him more than anything athletically.”
What sold Lang was Eli Drinkwitz. The Tigers ball coach talked to Lang at every opportunity and made him feel like he was a priority for the program. When Lang took a visit to Columbia it felt different than anywhere else he’d been.
“Those guys made it feel like home,” Lang said. “It was just different.”
Lang still hears from the occasional school as they check in to see if he’s still happy pledging to the Tigers. He’s quite content, thank you very much, and is focused on having the best senior season possible.
“Having the decision made is relaxing, honestly,” Lang said. “There’s not much to think about (recruiting-wise). I don’t really talk to those other guys.”
