Blue chip Missouri recruit Trevor Trout eliminates Tigers from consideration

In August, St. Louis blue-chipper Trevor Trout trimmed his list to six schools. Today, another school was eliminated — Barry Odom’s Missouri Tigers.

Trout, one of the top recruits in Missouri will pick from among Alabama, UCLA, Miami, Georgia, and USC.

Trout had visited Missouri several times — for the Tigers’ Junior Day a few years ago, the Night at the Zou events during the summer, and earlier this off-season when Barry Odom organized a “Tiger Top 10” visit that featured top prospects like Kamryn Babb, Michael Thompson and Ronnie Perkins — who recently committed to the Oklahoma Sooners.

Barry Odom’s Tigers have already lost three recruits, including quarterback James Foster. The Tigers’ recruiting class sits at eleven commitments and is ranked approximately 70th in the nation.
