Better late than never, right?
After spending the bulk of my night reviewing Mizzou Basketball game film, I hopped on twitter before heading to bed and lo and behold MIZZOU FOOTBALL GOT A RECRUIT!
J’Marion Gooch, a GIANT of a man from Tennessee, originally committed to Auburn, before signing with Tennessee this past signing period. But with the UT coaching change he requested a release and it was granted. In becoming a free agent, Mizzou went in and got their guy.
Did I mention he’s big?
