Missouri Tigers Basketball Secures Top Talent for 2026 Class
The Missouri men's basketball team is making significant strides in recruiting, having recently secured a commitment from 5-star power forward Toni Bryant for their 2026 class. This marks Bryant as the second elite recruit to join the Tigers, following combo guard Jason Crowe Jr. Bryant, ranked as the No. 5 power forward nationally, chose Missouri over offers from prestigious programs like Kansas and North Carolina. His decision was influenced by the strong relationship he built with head coach Dennis Gates, who he noted sees him as more than just a player. Bryant appreciates the development-focused culture at Missouri and believes he can contribute to the program's continued growth. Following a remarkable turnaround from a challenging season, the Tigers are poised for future success with these high-caliber recruits, and Bryant aims to be a key player in elevating the team's performance further.
