Happy (Late) Mother’s Day!

Not much happened in the world of Mizzou sports yesterday, but it was Mother’s Day. Several Mizzou Tiger recruits and coaches took the time to publicly shout out their moms on social media, so we’re highlighting just a few of them.

• Former Mizzou commit (and current recruit) Shemar Pearl wished his mom a very Tiger-themed Mother’s Day.

Travi0n Ford, very recent Mizzou commit, did much of the same.

Coach Pingeton got some love from her, “family.”

Mizzou Football hopped in on the fun.

And Mizzou Athletics sent a group card, because that many individual cards would be too expensive.
