as it stands right now, Mizzou has commitments from the No. 1, 98 and 142 players in the country.

If no one else were added, it would be the best Mizzou class in at least three years, arguably in 13 years

Here are the top rated individuals Mizzou has signed (OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL) in that time

KJ Walton, 103 in 2015
Jakeenan Gant, 52 in 2014
Namon Wright, 73 in 2014
Teki Gill Caesar would have been top 40, but wasn't ranked because he reclassified late
Jonathan Williams III, 42 in 2013
Wes Clark, 72 in 2013
Tony Mitchell, 12 in 2010
Phil Pressey, 61 in 2010
Mike Dixon, 136 in 2009
Kim English, 111 in 2008
Marcus Denmon, 150 in 2008
Keon Lawrence, 101 in 2006
Leo Lyons, 112 in 2005

Here is what was at the time regarded as Mizzou's best class, the 2004 group:

Marshall Brown, 42
Jason Horton, 59
Kalen Grimes, 63
Glen Dandridge, 92

If you add Knox and Tilmon, Mizzou has four top 100 signees, including two of the top 10, which eclipses that class in terms of sheer rankings (and honestly, when you include Porter, this class might already pass that one and certainly would with EITHER Knox or Tilmon).

CJ Roberts is the 12th highest rated recruit Missouri has signed in the last 14 years and could be the fourth highest rated player in this class. Blake Harris is the 17th highest rated and could be the fifth highest rated in this class.

Just some numbers to throw out there
