A midsummer’s Mizzou hoops update and who watches the watch lists?

Here are today’s Mizzou Links.

By Pete Scantlebury

1. Cuonzo Martin met with the media on Tuesday

The most urgent news? A new team on Missouri’s schedule for 2018-2019.

There is some more scheduling news included in Gabe DeArmond’s hoops notebook (and it’s not behind a paywall!) so check that out as well.

Probably the biggest personnel-related news from the session came regarding the absence of freshman point guard Xavier Pinson.

2. When will the watch lists end?

Three more Mizzou players were selected to preseason watch lists on Tuesday, as Terry Beckner, Jr. and Paul Adams got the nod for the Outland Trophy watch list. Beckner (again) and linebacker Terez Hall were picked on the Nagurski Trophy watch list.

The Outland Trophy is given to the best interior lineman (offense or defense), and the Nagurski Trophy is given to the best defensive player.

If you’re having trouble keeping track of which Mizzou players (11!) are on preseason watch lists, here you go:

3. Camp preview season is heating up.

Before Missouri’s August football camp begins, it’s camp preview season and the Mizzou Media is in the middle of setting the stage before the pads come on.

PowerMizzou.com takes a look at the running backs entering camp.

And Dave Matter looks at Terez Hall, Cale Garrett and the linebackers.

4. Top-10 in-state recruit visiting on Wednesday

Kirkwood receiver Maurice Massey is visiting Missouri on Wednesday, he announced on Monday evening.

Massey, a one-time Iowa State commitment, has a wide-ranging offer list (which includes Missouri). The three-star receiver is the state’s seventh-ranked players, per Rivals.com.

  • While he didn’t pick Mizzou (and didn’t consider the Tigers for that long), this is a really tough break to a great former Missouri prep star:
