-The focus at this point has largely moved to the 2026 class. There are a handful of spots left in 2025, but right now, it's kind of wait and see mode on where those go. The only target we know who is likely closing in on a decision is offensive lineman Andrew Babalola and we just aren't that confident Missouri is the spot. It's also an impossible recruitment to get a handle on. Nobody seems to talk to him. We've been hearing for a month a decision could come at any time, but there's really not even been any substantial updates.
-At this time, because of the game being on a Thursday night, there are no known significant visitors for the Murray State game. It seems possible some of the in-state commitments could come by. There are usually a handful of those types of players who attend nearly every game. But with a lot of high school seasons starting next week, players may opt to stay home and get a good night's rest before the first game of their senior season instead of traveling to watch a game that will be over by halftime.
- ICYMI, Rivals released their updated Rivals250 Rankings for the 2026 class earlier this week. That list featured many top Missouri targets, which we broke down HERE
To recap, here is the list of movers and shakers among the top 2026 targets (with the exception of Jireh Edwards, all of the following have visited Missouri at least once).
- Jackson Cantwell; remains at No. 2 overall
- Jireh Edwards; moved up 3 spots to No. 19
- Maxwell Riley; dropped 24 spots, now 33rd overall
- Danny Beale; up 3 spots to No. 52
- Dezephen Walker; down 7 spots, now at No. 66
- Titan Davis; down 4 spots to 102
- Keenan Harris; dropped two spots to 106
- Mack Sutter; up 35 spots to No. 100
- Sam Greer; down 12 spots to No. 158
- Michael Clayton II - up 24 spots to No. 188
TE Camden Jensen and QB Kane Archer are no longer in the Rivals250 Rankings, but still ranked 5.8, four-stars.
- Speaking of Maxwell Riley, the Rivals250 OL visited Missouri in July and a game day visit to Columbia is seriously being considered, but a date hasn't been set yet. He does have three visits set with Michigan State, Ohio State, and Clemson.
- Sean Williams is currently in St. Louis, where he stopped by De Smet on Thursday and caught up with Missouri LB commit Jason King as well as 2026 DL Titan Davis.
We'll have video interviews with both in the coming days. As expected, King seems extremely solid with Missouri and had a lot of great things to say about linebackers coach DJ Smith, head coach Eli Drinkwitz, and the entire program.
Davis is a highly-touted, in-state prospect in the 2026 class that Missouri is making a strong push for. The Rivals250 product was at Night at the Zou over the summer and talks with both DL coach Al Davis and edge coach Brian Early regularly. Missouri, like most that are recruiting him, like his versatility to play both inside and outside along the defensive line. Davis also visited Wisconsin and Oklahoma during the summer and said Penn State is also pushing hard. He's hoping to get out to a few game day visits throughout the fall and mentioned Mizzou being a possibility.
Today, Sean is expected to stop by Althoff Catholic to catch up with Missouri DL commit Jason Dowell, then swing by the Eureka's Jamboree which will feature Tigers OL pledge Jack Lange. SLUH will also be participating in the jamboree, so we're hoping to catch up with 2026 LB target Keenan Harris as well.
-On the basketball side, we posted an updated list of expected visitors in The Chamber last week. No new developments on that front, though we hope to be able to start getting some more intel on some of these kids as they hit campus in the next few weeks.
