Remaining Transfer Portal Targets for Mizzou Basketball

The deadline to enter the college basketball transfer portal closed Tuesday, meaning no new players can enter the portal. Missouri now fully knows which players are available to target and which aren’t, and can effectively fill the last three open roster spots.

Head coach Dennis Gates has built the core of his roster surrounding incoming five-star freshman Jason Crowe Jr. by making splash portal additions like Bryson Tiller and Jamier Jones, important retentions like Trent Pierce and big-time high school recruits like Aidan Chronister and Toni Bryant.

Here’s how Missouri’s roster currently sits.

G – Jason Crowe Jr.
G – Aaron Rowe

F – Aidan Chronister

F – Jaylen Carey
F – Luke Northweather
F – Nicholas Randall
C – Trent Burns

The early stages of the portal were spent bringing in depth in the frontcourt, which is logical given lack of depth in the big-man rotation hurt the Tigers in the late stages of the season. It’d be reasonable to expect the focus to shift toward making additions in the backcourt, as there’s no collegiate experience in the Tigers’ current guard rotation – Crowe will be a true freshman, while Rowe redshirted his entire freshman season and Boateng is recovering from a leg injury.

Last season, Missouri rostered six guards: T.O. Barrett, Anthony Robinson II, Jayden Stone, Sebastian Mack, Rowe and Boateng. It’s safe to assume at least two more guards will be added to the roster before the start of the season.

Here’s available players the Tigers could target.
