Just throwing out names that are currently in the portal and are 6-8 or taller. I've basically eliminated upperclassmen who haven't been productive or players at low-major schools that did very little (below about 5 ppg). Absolutely no idea if Missouri is connected to any of these guys in any way or would be interested
Mizzou talked to him last year
Was great in the tournament
Some have said he might have to sit a year

Also: Jacob Groves from Oklahoma, Tyreek Smith from Oklahoma State, Ali Ali from Butler, Quinton Millora-Brown from Vandy, Hunter Dean from George Washington, Alex Tchikou from Rhode Island, Josiah Allick from New Mexico (played at UMKC for three years, is from Lincoln, sister goes to Nebraska, has visited Nebraska and San Diego State), David Muoka from UNLV, Jaiden Delaire from San Diego, Shon Robinson from Austin Peay, Isaac Jones from Idaho, Issa Muhammad from New Mexico State, Ze'Rik Onyema from UTEP, Jacco Fritz from Canisius, Isaac Jack from Buffalo, Steve Settle from Howard, Jordan Wood from Howard, Liam McChesney from Illinois State, Nick Ellington from Eastern Illinois, Carlos Curry from Georgia State, Tim Ighoefe from Cal Baptist
That's literally 47 names. Probably most of them can't play here. Maybe not a single one ever hears from Mizzou. But there are a ton of guys out there. I'll let you all spend the rest of your day doing research and recommending which guys Gates should pursue
