Kameron McGusty committed to Oklahoma today, so disregard everything below.
These things always seem to happen on Sundays for some reason, but here we are again. Well, actually, this news snuck out a few days ago and I missed it. I'M NOT PERFECT PEOPLE.
This time it's a bit of a new 2016 target, a highly rated wing from Texas named Kameron McGusty. At this point in the game, Missouri has two scholarships available (if they do not fill the scholarship vacated by Montaque Gill-Caesar). All along the Tigers coaching staff has been looking to take on three signees in the 2016 class. Their top priority is a post, followed by a wing, followed by another post. McGusty would be the highest ranked wing that MIzzou has offered to this point.

'16 Seven Lakes G @KamMcgusty reports a #Mizzou offer tonight. Offer list so far includes #UConn, #SicEm, #Louisville

The Lowdown: McGusty is one of the elite wings in the 2016 class, ranked #36 by rivals and 48th by 247sports. So the Mizzou offer is interesting from a standpoint that it seems like a bit of a reach, especially when the likes of Oklahoma, Louisville and UConn at the top of his list, but in recent interviews McGusty has spoken highly of his interactions with the Mizzou staff and his connection with Coach Fulford.
As a player, McGusty has all the tools of a high-level shooting guard. He's got a great outside shot and can attack off the dribble and set himself up for easy baskets. He's a good athlete but at this stage is in need of adding weight to better compete at the next level. His offensive skills should be enough to overcome the weight differential early on.
McGusty also fields offers from Florida, Auburn, Indiana, Texas, Texas A&M and Wake Forest amongst others. He seems most connected to Oklahoma at this point having already visited unofficially a few times, and the Crystal Ball
So it remains to be seen if the Tigers will be able to get McGusty to campus and stay in contention for his services, but if the indicators are right at this point, it would appear that Mizzou has a shot. A lot of early playing time certainly can't hurt.
