Missouri basketball's top-rated 2026 signing class earned high honors Friday, with the trio of Jason Crowe Jr., Toni Bryant and Aidan Chronister all being named nominees to be McDonald's All-Americans.

Crowe, a combo guard from Inglewood, is the Tigers' second-highest rated signing in program history, only behind Michael Porter Jr. This season, he set the state record for the most points in a high school basketball career.

Bryant is a 6-foot-9, 215-pound, composite five-star power forward from Florida.

"A kid that we identified early in the process," Gates said of Bryant in November."Comes from a great program with a great coach, and they have done a tremendous job in allowing me to build a relationship."

Chronister is a lanky, 6-foot-7, 180-pound forward from Arkansas.

"Young man that I truly believe is is going to be a great basketball player for us," head coach Dennis Gates said of Chronister. "Had a long-lasting relationship with him, his family, being able to understand his needs and his development. He's just gotten better and better."
