The Morning Commute for Tuesday, June 10

Welcome to the Morning Commute

Today we’re talking about football, hoops, and softball.

It was a busy Monday of newsworthy items around Mizzou Athletics which usually isn’t the case during the summer — so let’s get to it.

Starting with football; the recruiting is picking up with the addition of Omaha tight Isaac Jensen.

Jensen becomes the fourth commitment of Missouri’s 2026 class joining Gavin Sidwar, Keenan Harris, and Jabari Brady. For more on Brady, here’s our latest Recruiting Reset.

Meanwhile, Mizzou Men’s Basketball announced jersey numbers for the seven incoming newcomers for this upcoming season — and Caleb Grill had a pre-draft workout with the Warriors.

Plus, big news on the softball side as incoming commit Abby Carr was named the Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year.

“Carr, a 6-0 right-handed pitcher from Wildwood, Missouri, led Lafayette High School (25-6-1) to the Class 5 state championship this past season. She tossed a 16-strikeout, eight-inning, no-hitter to propel the Lancers to the title.

Carr finished with a 23-0 record and a 0.24 earned run average, striking out 304 batters against just 26 walks in 144.2 innings pitched over her senior campaign in 2024.”

That seems good!

• Morning Commute from Josh Matejka” Mizzou sees “opportunity” in House Settlement, says Leatch

“We do know, however, that Mizzou is ready to welcome this new world. On Sunday, Athletic Director Laird Veatch sent out a public letter declaring as much:”

Mizzou has the opportunity to capitalize on the House Settlement ruling.

• Recruiting Reset from Josh Matejka: Jabari Brady brings size and strength to Mizzou’s receiving corps

“Any time a blue-chipper signs up for your team, it’s a good thing. The 2026 class has been slow going thus far, but Drinkwitz has maintained a high standard for recruits he brings in. Brady clears that threshold and keeps the offense’s future bright.”

A four-star WR? Yes, please!

• More from Josh Matejka: Omaha TE Isaac Jensen commits to Mizzou

“Jensen is a high-three-star recruit who’s been courting many of the top teams in the Power Five, but the big lad will be bringing his prowess to Columbia, Mo. Welcome, Isaac!”

A nice get for Eli Drinkwitz and the staff as Jensen chose Mizzou over Texas A&M, Florida State, and Iowa State.
