Gant and Allen Arrested, Suspended
I preferred worrying about whether Anderson was recruiting well enough to worrying about whether Anderson was going to have to dismiss more players.

Mizzou Basketball Recruiting
Tigers still chasing elite prospects - Columbia Daily Tribune
Jerry Meyer, the 247 Sports Director of Scouting, reported that Blakeney is expected to take trips to Kentucky, LSU, Missouri and Oregon with his remaining four official visits. While he tweeted that he maintains a strong interest in the Cardinals, it remains to be seen if Coach Rick Pitino and his staff will continue to recruit Blakeney -- they haven't with other highly ranked recruits who'd decommitted in recent seasons -- so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Blakeney land at one of those four schools.

It is not often that a sophomore starts at point guard for a state championship winning team, but that is exactly what 2016 St. Louis (Mo.) CBC prospect Jordan Barnes did last season. For a lot of people in the basketball community, the state title run was their first opportunity to see the 5-foot-11, 150 pound playmaker.
Loftin on the "Big 12"
Overtime with Mizzou's Loftin : Dave Matter
"I saw, No. 1, the inequity of distribution of revenue clearly impacted the pecking order in the (Big 12)," he said. "You had Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska at one end of the spectrum. You had Baylor, Iowa State and Kansas down at the other end. In the middle, you had Texas Tech, Texas A&M and those kind of schools. It was spread out and pretty obvious. In that moment in time, Bill Powers, the UT-Austin president was chairman of the board. It was also very clear that (Big 12 commissioner Dan) Beebe was very deferential to Texas. Whatever Texas seemed to want he was very supportive of. That was very clear for a first-time visitor at this particular meeting.

Player of the Week: Michael Scherer
Missouri is flying comfortably under the radar three games into the season, which is fine. The team's leading tackler is following suit though, and that's a damn shame.
"His helmet hit, so he was dizzy a little bit," Pinkel said. "We’ve got to get him not to take those guys on like that. That’s what you want him to do. You want him to be able to take half of a guy — it’s a certain toughness in all those things — but try not to let that happen again."
Missouri receiver Jimmie Hunt is racking up touchdowns | The Kansas City Star
"At Florida last year, I threw him a corner and he got caught down at the 10- or 15-yard line," quarterback Maty Mauk said. "This year, he’s a completely different person. One, I think he’s catching the ball a lot better than last year. And two, he’s got that burst back."

Missouri continues developing defensive line depth | The Kansas City Star
"Both backup defensive ends really did well, too," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "They’re better than they were three weeks ago. They’re more active; they’re playing at a different level. We’re not there yet by any means, but both those guys — Charles (Harris) and Marcus (Loud) — are doing a great job backing those two great players up." Loud, a 6-foot-4 and 260-pound redshirt freshman from Houston, finished with three tackles and was credited with a quarterback hurry against Central Florida.

Mizzou in the NFL: One cagey Lion : Dave Matter
Mosely is rarely mentioned along with the the defensive line standouts that Missouri assistant Craig Kuligowski has produced over the years. (He’s not even the most famous C.J. Mosley in the NFL now that the former Alabama linebacker is playing in Baltimore.) But that’s probably because he last played at Missouri a decade ago and has never been a star player in the league. But he’s carved out a 10-year career in the NFL, played in 117 games for five franchises and made millions of dollars. In Detroit, he’s part of a solid interior rotation with Suh and Nick Fairley. He’s in the second year of a two-year $2.75 million contract with the Lions. Only three Detroit players have logged mor years in the NFL. There’s something to be said for longevity.
