Commute: Who’s in the Top 8 in your Mizzou Hoops Rotation?

July 24, 2025 by Rock M Nation


The Morning Commute for Thursday, July 24

Welcome to the Morning Commute

Today we’re talking about Mizzou Basketball’s Top 8

On Tuesday, we asked y’all on Twitter (X) who is going to be in the Top 8 in minutes played for Mizzou Men’s Basketball this upcoming season.

It’s time for Top 8!

Who do you think will be the top 8 players in minutes played at the end of the season?

This year we have a Google Form for easy submission, but feel free to share your lineup so we can talk about it:https://t.co/bVxtv3VSCD

You have to pick 8 from the 14 on the roster:

Mark Mitchell
Jacob Crews
Shawn Phillips
Jevon Porter
Jayden Stone
Trent Pierce
Anthony Robinson
Sebastian Mack
Luke Northweather
Annor Boateng
TO Barrett
Trent Burns
Aaron Rowe
Nicholas Randall

There’s no surprise that significant returners Mark Mitchell and Anthony Robinson II should be at or near the top in minutes played — who were both named team captains last week (as expected).

An All-SEC selection one year ago, @Mark_mitchell25 named one of two team captains for the 2025-26 season

The only SEC All-Defensive Team honoree returning in 2025-26, @anklebully_ant named the second Mizzou team captain for the upcoming season

Though, will Sebastian Mack turn out to be the highlight of the transfer portal class?

Will another year in Dennis Gates’ system be helpful for Jacob Crews?

And is Trent Burns ready to make a big impact?

There are some questions to be answered for this team after losing Tamar Bates and Caleb Grill, but there’s enough returning production for Mizzou Hoops in Year 4 under Dennis Gates to be a factor in the SEC.

For more discussion on the Top 8 rotation, visit RockM+.

Should be another fun year upcoming for Mizzou Hoops. For a behind-the-scenes look of the program, check out this video.

Ever wonder what’s it like to be head coach of the Tigers?

Yesterday at Rock M and Rock M+

  • Morning Commute from True Deck: Former Mizzou Wrestler Ben Askren Released From Hospital

“Former Mizzou wrestler Ben Askren posted a video that announced he was released from the hospital on Tuesday nearly two months after he entered due to a severe case of pneumonia.”

The best news possible for the former Mizzou great. Welcome home, Ben!

  • From Karen Steger’s 2024-2025 Rock M’mys: Most Gut-Wrenching Moment

Today’s @RockMNation Rock M’my awards category is not for the faint of heart. It’s time to award Most Gut-Wrenching Moment… or as we like to call it, Most Mizzou’d Moment.

VOTING CLOSES FRIDAY AT 11PM CST FOR ALL CATEGORIES!https://t.co/wPmrBaBJSm

— Karen S (@karensteger) July 23, 2025

“It can’t always be sunshine and black & gold rainbows. For every euphoric moment and best performance — see earlier award noms — there were those moments that left us feeling a sense of despair, staring off into the distance, swearing, dramatically sighing, ranting on social media, screaming to our friends and family (sorry, Dad) and thinking we’d all been Mizzou’d again.”

The Rock M’mys are winding down so get your votes in before Friday at 11:00 p.m. CST even though this might not be everyone’s favorite category. (The football loss to South Carolina currently holds the lead). Last category comes out Friday AM and that’s Best Team.

  • Over at Rock M+: We’re talking all things football, basketball, and Olympic Sports.
