The last week has brought on a number of developments for Missouri football and men's basketball on the recruiting trail — for Eli Drinkwitz's program, few have been positive.
The Tigers were able to land three-star safety Tony Forney Jr. Friday. But since then, Missouri lost out on three-star defensive lineman Keytrin Harris, four-star edge rusher Ronelle Johnson, three-star athlete Jayden McGregory and three-star linebacker Braxton Lindsey.
A slow start for the Tigers in the class has now turned into a less than ideal standing. The class currently stands at 10 commitments.
On the other side of things, Dennis Gates has only brought good news. First, four-star prospect Scottie Adkinson, a guard in the class of 2027, committed to Missouri Tuesday. And now, the Tigers could land five-star prospect Jason Crowe Jr., who is rated as the sixth-best player in the class of 2026. He'll reveal his commitment between Missouri, Kentucky and others July 18.
