Commute: Transfer Portal Galore

Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we are talking about… You guessed it, Mizzou Football! (How could we not?!) A bunch happened on the Mizzou Football front on Tuesday and first, let’s get the bad out of the way. It was confirmed on Tuesday by former Missouri EDGE Damon Wilson II that he will be […]

Chip Lindsey: The Takeaway

Chip Lindsey is Missouri’s newest offensive coordinator, and I am extremely skeptical of this hire. To put it nicely. In order to show you why I think this/talk myself into this hire, I’m going to review his resume and offer a breakout of how he’s done at each job he’s had previously. I am not […]

Mizzou adds much-needed safety in Notre Dame’s JaDon Blair

Missouri picked up its fifth commitment from the 2026 transfer portal in Notre Dame safety JaDon Blair on Tuesday evening. The news was confirmed by Blair on his Instagram. Blair was a true freshman this season, appearing in just one game for the Irish before redshirting, so Missouri picks up the safety with four full […]

Mizzou adds FCS Freshman All-American from portal

Missouri added some much-needed depth at the running back position Tuesday, bringing in Xai’Shaun Edwards from FCS Houston Christian. Edwards visited Mizzou the day prior before ultimately committing to the Tigers. He also had visits planned to Cal, UConn and UTSA. The 5-foot-9, 175 pound running back ran for 1,019 yards and 12 touchdowns with […]

Former Mizzou star hitting the transfer portal

Following just a one-year stint with Missouri, Damon Wilson II has announced he will be entering the portal. He confirmed the news on his Instagram with On3. This one isn’t ideal for the Tigers as Wilson was a stud off the edge this past season after transferring in from Georgia. During the 2025 season, Wilson […]

Ole Miss QB Austin Simmons signs with Mizzou

Ladies and gentlemen, there’s a new sheriff in town. Only, he’ll have to earn his badge the hard way. Days after freshman Matt Zollers re-signed with Missouri – boy, I’m still not used to saying that – Ole Miss backup QB Austin Simmons has signed with the Tigers according to reports from multiple reporters across […]

Commute: A Busy Day for Mizzou Football

Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Football Recruiting After the reports of Ole Miss quarterback Austin Simmons expected to transfer to Mizzou, it’s been an otherwise slow start to the transfer portal activity for Eli Drinkwitz and the staff. Boy, did that changed on Monday. Missouri landed their first transfer portal […]

Recruiting Reset: Jahlil Florence looks to restart his career at Mizzou

Nothing like starting off the newest transfer class with a luxury add rather than an addition in desperate need… not that we’d know of course. Because Mizzou is certainly in desperate need of support in multiple positions. Of those positions, cornerback might be the most pressing. The corner room in Columbia is about as empty […]

REPORT: Mizzou adds top Auburn linebacker from transfer portal

Earlier this season, Auburn’s defense held Missouri to just 17 points in regulation during an eventual 23-17 win for MU in double overtime. Now, a key piece of that defense will sign with Mizzou out of the transfer portal, according to a report from On3’s Hayes Fawcett. Robert Woodyard Jr. made 11 starts for Auburn […]

Cincinnati WR Caleb Goodie commits to Mizzou

Mizzou is working quickly to shore up positions of need in the transfer portal, adding its second commitment of the day on the first full week of the window. Caleb Goodie, the second-leading receiver for the Cincinnati Bearcats in 2025, committed to the Tigers on Monday, joining Jahlil Florence from Oregon in the Tigers’ newest […]

Mizzou Gymnastics: “Really good.”

In front of a really nice crowd of 2,342 — I honestly thought there were more fans on hand than that — on Sunday afternoon at Mizzou Arena, the no. 7 Missouri Tigers, wearing Legacy M, started their season off impressively strong against the (RV) Iowa State Cyclones, showcasing depth up and down the lineup […]

REPORT: Mizzou makes early transfer portal addition in Oregon cornerback

Per 247Sports, Missouri has made its first transfer portal edition on Monday afternoon by adding former Oregon cornerback Jahlil Florence. Florence has an interesting story as he’s struggled to stay healthy over the past two seasons, following a strong start to his career with the Ducks. Through his first two seasons, Florence recorded 35 tackles, […]

Photos of the week: 12.29.2025

As much as it may not look like it based on the work you’ve seen of mine over the past semester, I don’t always make athletes look the prettiest. This week’s column is in honor of all those “awkward” moments where effort takes precedence over aesthetics. All these photos are untouched and exactly as they […]

Mizzou volleyball winter transfer update

After missing the NCAA Tournament in a disappointing 2025 season, the Mizzou volleyball team is prepped for an important offseason. Between the graduation of high-level talents like Maya Sands, Tyrah Ariail and Caylen Alexander and the unpredictability of the transfer portal, head coach Dawn Sullivan has the opportunity to fill some team holes using said […]

Study Hall: Mizzou 76, Florida 74

I saw a lot of Godfather references in various comment sections around the Mizzou internet following the conclusion of the game against Florida… “just when I thought I was out…” If you want my full thoughts on the impact of the game, I’d suggest checking out yesterday’s Pourover column, as that was more about what […]

Chip Lindsey’s Career: Part VI

Transfer visits start today

Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about transfers. Because when aren’t we talking about transfers. Starting today, we’re going to see a slew of transfers start to file through Columbia, Mo. And it wouldn’t be surprising if we see commitments follow soon after. After the portal kicked open on Friday, it only took […]

Tiger Style Takes Team Victory at the Soldier Salute

After a long three-week break from competition, Mizzou wrestling returned to the mat in Iowa City, Iowa, for the Soldier Salute. Of the 17 teams represented at the tournament, the Tigers claimed first place as a team with 166.5 points. The Tigers had three individual titles, three runners-up titles, one third-place finisher and one fifth-place […]

Pourover: It wasn’t perfect, but winning doesn’t have to be

It’s been a while, Mizzou fans, so enjoy it. I don’t want to pull anyone down with a reminder of the recent past, but it’s been since February 19th of last year (Alabama) since Missouri won a big game. In fact they only have three top 100 wins since then. South Carolina, Mississippi State, and […]

Mizzou takes down top-25 Florida, 76-74

Trailing by three in the final 15 seconds of the first half, Missouri men’s basketball got the ball to an unlikely hero for the final shot of the opening 20 minutes. Trent Burns has played sparingly this season for the Tigers, averaging just 5.9 minutes per game entering Saturday’s contest, and had never hit a […]
