Brian has been chasing some info down throughout the day, and I'm posting this for him.
Obviously Mizzou is without Tim Fuller on the road right now. The Tigers could be using Brian Tibaldi on the road as they did last year, but since I believe Fuller is technically still employed, it's more likely the three coaches who are on the road are just making a few more trips.
*Mizzou is involved with Charlotte transfer Mike Thorne Jr., who averaged 10.1 points and 7.3 rebounds this season. As a May graduate, Thorne would be immediately eligible next season. Got to imagine he has plenty of interest, but Rob Fulford and Missouri are pursuing him.
*Yes, 2015 is a focus, but 2016 is already in play too. Fulford checked out five-star Jamal Murray today. Murray has a ton of offers. We'll work on tracking him down.
*Fulford will be watching Michigan big man Mike Edwards tomorrow, who has been getting a ton of interest of late. Michigan and John Beilein are sniffing around. Many assume if the Wolverines offer, Edwards will jump on it, but he told Brian that's not the case. He visited Northern Illinois in the fall and will visit Georgia this weekend. He told Brian his interest in Mizzou was about 8 on a scale of 10.
*The Tigers are also planning to check out four-star shooting guard K.J. Walton in the next week or so. Walton is a top 150 player who hasn't signed yet. Walton does not yet have a Mizzou offer but told Brian he is "very interested in Mizzou." He will visit Cincinnati soon. Apparently there's a tie in with his high school coach who used to be at Missouri State.
We'll keep you guys up to date on everything we can track down.
