Mizzou Hoops Player Review: Shawn Phillips
It was mid-April of 2025 when Missouri got a commitment from Arizona State transfer Shawn Phillips. I can’t say it was viewed through a positive lens at the time. After all, it was easy to see through the stats than Phillips had been a net negative while on the court during his three seasons at […]
Recruiting Reset: Kingston Miles is Yet Another Elite Running Back Addition for Mizzou
Missouri’s running back situation has been consistently one of the best positions in the country ever since Eli Drinkwitz took over as head coach, and a lot of that credit goes to Curtis Luper. Mizzou has had the SEC’s leading rusher in 2021 (Tyler Badie), 2023 (Cody Schrader), and Ahmad Hardy (2025) — and the […]

UPDATED Missouri Baseball Season Wrap-Up: Latest News and Portal Notes
After a 2025 season filled with injuries, players switching from their natural positions and a nearly winless slate in Southeastern Conference play, Missouri Baseball was looking for a year to show just about any signs of improvement. They got that in 2026. While a 12-2 loss in the SEC Tournament might have brought an unceremonious […]
All Eyes On the Interior of the Defensive Line
We know Missouri fielded one of the best defenses in college football the past three seasons. In 2025, among Power Four programs, the Tigers ranked 6th in allowed yards per game, 7th in passing, and 11th in rushing yards and points per game. But there’s a price to pay for success. Four Tigers from the […]
Commute: Early 2027 NBA draft mocks are mixed on Jason Crowe Jr
Mizzou’s 5-star freshman is a bit of a polarizing prospect for the early draftniks. Crowe’s best outlook so far comes from SI.com’s Kevin Sweeney where he ranked Crowe the 7th best prospect for next year. ESPN’s Jeremy Woo has Crowe 8th. After that things get dicey. Sam Vecenie from the Athletic, still had a mostly […]
SBN Reacts: Mizzou fans split on more CFP expansion
It’s the conversation that never goes away. How many teams should be in the College Football Playoff? Four? Eight? Twelve? Sixteen? Sixty-four? One-hundred-thirty-eight? Who wouldn’t love to see a first round matchup between Ohio State and Charlotte? Since its introduction, the College Football Playoff has taken on a life of its own as this behemoth […]

She will have three years of eligibility remaining. […]
Top Ten Opposing Players: Kewan Lacy and Kelley Jones
This summer we’ll be exploring the top 10 offensive and defensive players Mizzou football is slated to face this fall. We’re not ranking them 1-10, it’s much more scientific then that (or linguistic since we are just ordering them alphabetically.) We’re halfway through the TTOP exercise for 2026 and we’ve finally hit a former Tiger […]

Welcome back to Rock M Nation’s annual opponent preview series of the upcoming season. Each week we will break down one opponent from the schedule in chronological order.

Operating Room: How can Missouri create spacing by committee
Once Kennard Davis Jr. committed to Missouri, it brought the Tigers to an interchange in their roster building. While MU projected the BYU transfer as a bigger-bodied ball handler, the program was still light on proven creators — even if coach Dennis Gates taps into Jason Crowe Jr.’s latent passing potential. Had the staff been inclined, it […]
Mizzou’s ’27 recruiting class continues to grow
Prior to the summer, Mizzou’s 2027 recruiting class was looking a bit… thin. Two months later? A lot less so. Since May 1, Eli Drinkwitz has added 9 new commitments to the high school class of ’27, gaining two more on Sunday in T’ari Miller and Jaylen Hill, a pair of three-stars with plenty of […]

Reacts: Mizzou fans say, “No room for Sorsby”
The Brendan Sorsby saga came to a thrilling and stupid conclusion this week when Sorsby did what he always should have done – remove himself from the line of fire and seek an NFL paycheck. That doesn’t, however, mean the Texas Tech vs. Everyone saga is nearly at its conclusion. There’s still talk of sanctioning […]

Mizzou Hoops Player Review: Jayden Stone
Going into the season, it’s hard to say what the expectations were for West Virginia transfer Jayden Stone. But whatever they were, they weren’t very high. Of the more than 100 votes cast on the annual Top 8 post, only 10 ballots had Stone with any kind of vote. What most Missouri fans thought we […]
