Welcome, Marques Warrick! The Northern Kentucky transfer becomes the third addition to Mizzou Hoops’ portal class — joining Jacob Crews and Tony Perkins.

Mizzou wasn’t able to hit on all of their transfer targets however, as Tarris Reed has committed to UConn. That was bound to happen when Reed was visiting the back-to-back National Champions on the weekend of their celebration.
There had been contact between Reed and Mizzou, Tigers have moved onto other targets https://t.co/WBAFICVBMc

Still though, Dennis Gates’ transfer portal haul has been pretty good thus far on paper. Per Rivals Portal rankings, Marques Warrick ranks 20th, Tony Perkins (53rd), and Jacob Crews (76th).
Certainly, there’s more to come. Stay tuned.
On the diamond, Mizzou Softball beats SIUE 4-1 to wrap up their non-conference slate with an outstanding record of 27-3.

The Tigers improved to 34-11 overall on the season, and that’s currently good enough to be a regional host as a No. 9 seed — according to the latest D1Softball bracketology projections.
In these projections, the SEC remains a 12-bid league with Ole Miss as the outlier.
The Big Ten gains a third bid this week, while the ACC loses a team and are now a 5-bid league.

A road series at No. 9 Georgia Friday through Sunday awaits Mizzou — where the Tigers hope to pick up their first SEC road series win of the season.
Onto the links. M-I-Z!
