Sports are slowly trickling back into place, but (as we’ve covered on this site), recruiting never sleeps. It also doesn’t take Mondays off, as evidenced by the launch of the 2022 recruiting cycle for men’s college basketball yesterday.
A recap of 2022 prospects #Mizzou’s reportedly touched base with today:
— Matt Harris (@MattJHarris85) June 15, 2020
- Tarris Reed Jr. (Offer)
- Aidan Shaw (Offer)
- Larry Hughes II
- Taj Manning
- Jalen Quinn
- Jaylon McDaniel
Obviously, these are not the only players Mizzou will touch base with, and there’s a chance none of them end up as Tigers. But this is who we know Missouri is targeting right now, so let’s focus in.
For your sake, we’ve run through highlight videos and scouting pages for all of these recruits right below:
Hughes is number 11 in the white jersey in the below video
Taj Manning
Jalen Quinn: 247
Jaylon McDaniel: Rivals
After Matt’s rundown, another offer was reported as having gone out from Mizzou:
6’8 2022 Julian Phillips of Blythewood (SC) has now been offered by Arizona State, Kansas, Xavier, Texas Tech, Florida & Missouri #AbsoluteBasketball

Not for nothing, the staff is also hard at work at the upcoming 2021 class as evidenced by the news of an additional offer to a Top 100 combo guard.
