FOOTBALL RECRUITING
Missouri extended a few new offers in the 2025 class over the last few days, here is a breakdown below.
Bryon Baldwin, DB, Indiana commit - The 4-star talent has been committed to Indiana since April and while the Hoosiers are off to a hot start Baldwin is looking around. He's coming off an official visit to Colorado. Virginia Tech, Penn State, and UCLA have all recently offered as well. Baldwin told us that he's interested in Missouri, so we'll see if anything materializes down the road.
Zack Harden, S, Minnesota commit - With recent rumors of current safety commit Dyllon Williams possibly flipping to Kentucky, the Tigers recently extended an offer to Harden. The three-star from Georgia has been committed to Minnesota since March and has a couple of former high school teammates on the Gophers' roster. Despite that, Harden did recently take a visit to Auburn so he's open to looking around.
Seven Cloud (all-name team), DT, Butler (Kan.) C.C. - A fast-rising JUCO defensive tackle that was committed to Georgia in the 2023 recruiting class, but never made it to campus. He's putting together a strong season and has picked up a few notable offers throughout the month of September that include Georgia, Auburn, Miss. State, Boise State, Liberty, Texas State, Western Kentucky, UNLV, and others.
- We also posted an update on Rivals250 OL Andrew Babalola on Wednesday. While he still remains uncommitted, the timeline for a decision will be before his regular season ends in mid-to-late October. He still has a final five that includes Missouri, Stanford, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Auburn - all the schools he took officials with. Babalola said he doesn't plan to take any gameday visits until he is committed somewhere. Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz was in attendance for Babalola's first game of the season recently.
ICYMI, we caught up with a couple of key 2026 targets that visited Missouri last weekend for their double-overtime win against Vanderbilt.
4-STAR NOAH BEST TALKS RETURN VISIT
4-STAR WR BRAYDEN ROBINSON IMPRESSED WITH MIZZOU
- Five-star OL Jackson Cantwell was also back at Missouri this past weekend. The Tigers are the second gameday visit for Cantwell, who has already visited Nebraska and has plans to also hit up Georgia and Alabama in October and LSU in November.
- There were brief questions when Lee's Summit North DL Ka'Mori Moore decommitted from Oklahoma this week. The natural curiosity was whether Mizzou would be interested. The answer at this point is, not really. Missouri has long been aware of Moore. If an offer was coming, it likely would already have come. The belief is he'll follow Jamar Mozee to Nebraska. As always, things can change, but Mizzou's fine with that happening.
- ICYMI last night, we caught up with 2025 QB commit Matt Zollers for an injury update. All things considered, the news sounds like it's about as good as it could possibly be for Zollers. The injury shouldn't change anything about his college career or his readiness for his true freshman year. We don't expect him to seriously compete for the starting job, but that's not because he got hurt. The likelihood that was going to happen regardless was remote.
- Mizzou's staff was on the road yesterday and tonight. We know Eli Drinkwitz is planning to be in St. Louis and Jacob Peeler is headed to Ironton OH to see Shaun Terry play. The rest of the staff is out seeing various players across the country and most of them will return home some time on Saturday to get a little family time in before getting back to the grind on Sunday to prepare for Texas A&M.
BASKETBALL RECRUITING
There are no visitors on campus this weekend. The staff has been all over the country and has been hosting kids for most of September, but this is a break on the visit calendar for Mizzou. Here's where things stand with the 2025 guys:
- Davion Hannah was supposed to visit Michigan State this weekend, but he's not going. In fact, our intel is that he's only taking one more of his scheduled visits. He was at Ohio State last weekend and is planning to visit Cincinnati in two weeks. His father is from Ohio and there's a connection to the Cincy staff. Neither of these schools is considered a big threat for Hannah. Missouri's main competition is Alabama and honestly, we don't really think the competition is that close. At this point in time, based on what we're hearing, it will be a surprise if Hannah isn't a Missouri Tiger. But, of course, until they go public, it doesn't matter and can change.
- Everyone expects Nicholas Randall to be the third member of this class. But it's been expected for a while and it hasn't officially happened. The recruitment of Randall has been silent because from everything we've heard, it's nearly a foregone conclusion he's going to Mizzou. But again, there's been no announcement. As long as Missouri has space, Randall can afford to wait, but that time frame isn't endless.
- Along those lines, the Tigers offered Link Academy forward Amare Bynum recently. A source told us that Bynum wants to stay relatively close to home and he actually reached out to Mizzou with interest. He's visited Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa and Iowa State. Obviously it's a regional recruitment, not a national one. That's a list you'd give Mizzou a good shot to win. It will be interesting to see how hard the Tigers push and whether that's a signal to Randall to make a decision or a legitimate push to take Randall.
- 2026 big man Keiner Asprilla was on campus last week for an official visit. We're doing our best to get in touch with him. We have gotten quick responses, but haven't yet been able to get an interview with Asprilla. We will keep trying.
That's all for now. We'll keep you posted with any developments.
