Mizzou gets pledge from key recruit

Coupled with the three who signed during the Early Signing Period, Tony Mitchell's verbal commitment to the Tigers rounds out one of the best recruiting classes in the history of the Mizzou basketball program.

Mitchell, a 6-foot-8, 220-pound forward from L.G. Pinkston High School, gave the Tigers a verbal commitment during a weekend visit to Columbia, Rivals.com reported.

Ranked as the 15th-best prospect in the country by the Web site, Mitchell is expected to sign a letter of intent before the end of the NCAA’s early signing period Wednesday.

"As soon as I stepped on campus, it was just a family atmosphere," Mitchell told Rivals.com. "The team really embraced me. This is more than just about basketball, it’s more about my future."

I have always said that under Anderson’s system we don’t need top tier recruits, we need guys who buy into the system… but having top tier recruits who buy into the system only helps that much more.

Another lost recruit from K-State to Mizzou

Is he the second coming of Stephan Hannah? Was Mitchell’s Mom involved?

Joking aside, the Big 12 North keeps picking up good recruits. This league will be pretty competitive for the next couple of years.
