Good recruiting news is always better than bad recruiting news and Mizzou kept the good recruiting news train rolling today with Luther Burden announcing his top 3 schools:

Burden’s final three of Georgia, Alabama, and Missouri put the Tigers squarely in the middle of two Goliaths in College Football Recruiting. The recruitment is thought to be a two team race at this point, however, with the Tigers having a slight edge over Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs. Noticeably absent from the group is the school Burden was formerly pledged to play for, the Oklahoma Sooners.
Burden spent the better part of 2021 committed to Oklahoma, but decommitted from the Sooners in mid-August, and has focused on an October 20th date to announce his next commitment, per a Frank Cusumano tweet. With the October date looming large, Burden is likely to make one more visit to each school before deciding... however Cusumano keeps dropping hints like this which have to get you excited:
Getting hit with a lot of questions on where Luther Burden will choose. His father has reminded me he has 9 sisters in the area. It’s a close knit family. Who knows? Stay tuned. @MizzouFootball @ksdknews
