Per another recruiting site, Mizzou's class ranks fifth, based on "performance avg" out and "performance avg" in.
Obviously, the one thing not yet included in that ranking is Kobe Brown. If he enters the Portal, that will drop Mizzou's class (but not out of the top 10-15), but if he keeps his name in the NBA Draft and gets drafted, Mizzou's class is going to end pretty close to 5th.
So, for all those freaking out about Gates' and Co's performance in the Portal, maybe take a step back and recalibrate your thoughts. We'd all like to see Mizzou add a big (and if the right one comes along, they will), and if the Tigers do add a legitimate, contributing big, their class may jump up into the top 1-3 classes in the Portal.
This is not behind a paywall and I don't see a Hoops Team transfer ranking for Rivals (though Bates and Tonje are #50 and #61, respectively), so here's where I got the information: https://www.on3.com/transfer-portal/team-rankings/basketball/2023/
