Mizzou football is 4-0 for the first time since 2013. We break down the Tigers’ 34-27 win over Memphis in St. Louis including another phenomenal performance through the air by Brady Cook, Luther Burden continues to be HIM, the Tigers started another game with a bang, the secondary snagged two more INTs and the offense racked up over 500 yards. We also break down how Mizzou overcame going 0-8 on third downs, an early turnover, some injury woes including the surprise absence of Ennis Rakestraw Jr., and some defense and kickoff miscues to prove the Tigers can close out a game (00:00:00-00:29:51).
We cut to ourselves on Friday after Annor Boateng became a Tiger. The Class of 2024 wing is listed as a five-star prospect by 247Sports and his commitment has vaulted the Tigers to No. 1 in 247’s Class of 2024 Team rankings. We discuss what that No. 1 ranking means for the future of Mizzou men’s hoops, break down what Boateng brings to the table, talk about the other four big-time prospects that Dennis Gates has landed so far and if this 2024 Class can go down as the best in Mizzou men’s hoops history. We also discuss how Gates’ strong player development could turn Mizzou into an NBA player factory and could be next to join Gates’ elite class including five-star center Jayden Quaintance, who is currently visiting COMO (00:29:51-00:51:55)
