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 […]
Mizzou softball adds MTSU shortstop to transfer class
Larissa Anderson’s newest portal addition is Jana Want, a shortstop from Middle Tennessee State. Want spent two years with the Blue Raiders, playing in 104 games and ending her time with a .325 batting average. She tacked on a total of 15 home runs and 64 RBI. In the field she recorded a .918 fielding […]
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 […]
BREAKING: Three-Star Cornerback T’ari Miller Commits to Mizzou Football
Mizzou football made two more additions to its 2027 recruiting class Sunday morning. Cornerback T’ari Miller committed to the Tigers along with Jaylen Hill. Miller, who is from Miami, is ranked as one of the top 100 players in the state of Florida. Nationally he ranks within the top 500. Miller also received offers from […]
BREAKING: Three-Star Offensive Tackle Jaylen Hill Commits to Mizzou Football
Mizzou football made two more additions to its 2027 recruiting class Sunday morning. Offensive tackle Jaylen Hill became the fourth player to commit to the Tigers in June, and the 16th overall in the class. T’ari Miller also committed to the team on Sunday. Hill, who is from Lanett, is ranked as one of the top […]
Examining the Pipeline Between Mizzou Wrestling and MMA
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has continued to grow in popularity since its emergence in the early ‘90s. The UFC has consistently drawn multi-million viewer audiences across digital platforms. Tiger Style has contributed several fighters to many mixed martial arts leagues across the United States, although the UFC has become the most popular under this […]
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 […]
Why Mizzou’s tight ends could have a bigger role in 2026
A week ago, I examined how Chip Lindsey and Austin Simmons could impact Missouri’s passing offense, which was the worst in the SEC in 2025. Still examining the aspect of the passing unit, I took a look at what the arrival of Lindsey could mean for the tight end room. Mizzou has been blessed with […]
Commute: 247sports updates their basketball rankings
Scottie Adkinson is the only commit in the Mizzou class so far, and he got a slight bump. Mizzou hasn’t gone full bore on their class, there are still a lot of things in flux… like the 5 in 5 rule which could changes eligibility for a lot of current Tigers. Without knowing who will […]
Top Ten Opposing Players: Cam Coleman and Will Echoles
We’re back with our third issue of TTOP for the 2026 season. 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.) Here are our […]
Commute: Mizzou Women’s Basketball Schedule Notes
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou WBB On Tuesday, the Mizzou Women’s Basketball SEC home and road opponents were announced.

Recruiting Reset: Jack Marquard can help Mizzou build for the future
What do we know about Eli Drinkwitz thus far in his Mizzou career? We know he loves a good, albeit convoluted, recruiting hash tag. He’s a Diet Coke man. He’s not afraid of making some noise with a microphone in his face. And he loves putting together a good running game. And to do the […]
Commute: MBB vs. Marquette officially set in the Windy City
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou basketball. We knew that Mizzou men’s basketball will be taking on Marquette, and it was made official on Tuesday.

2026 Missouri Football Opponent DEEP DIVE: Florida Gators
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. Given that rosters are ever fluid – and this is done by a hobbyist rather than a pro – there could be some errors in history and […]
Commute: Transfer Portal Additions for Mizzou’s Diamond Sports
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Mizzou Diamond Sports. It was a busy Monday for Mizzou’s diamond sports as far as transfer portal additions go. Softball is in desperate need of pitching — and the coaching staff has landed South Carolina’s Nealy Lamb. The junior, per 64 Analytics, was rated as the no. […]
Mizzou Softball welcomes transfer from Columbia East, Nealy Lamb
Mizzou Softball program news continues to trickle out this offseason — on June 9 they announced the addition of Ohio State hitting coach Matthew Guemmer, which I wrote about here — and on Sunday evening, head coach Larissa Anderson and pitching coordinator Connor Mammola sent out complementary bat signals. Who would it be? Given Connor’s […]
Rest in Peace Aldon Smith, the man who was more than we saw on the news
Until this afternoon – Sunday, June 14, that is – I’d never considered writing an obituary. Not even for one second. I suspect I’ll be pretty bad at it. But this is my 1,900th post for Rock M Nation (true story), and I suppose there’s a first time for everything. Aldon Smith died this weekend. […]
Mizzou baseball hires Brandon Van Horn as new hitting coach
19 days after Bryson LeBlanc departed from the program, Mizzou baseball has found its new hitting coach. The news was first reported by Kendall Rodgers of D1Baseball. Van Horn previously coached with the New Mexico State Aggies starting in Nov. 2020, and after his two-year stint as a volunteer assistant and working with the hitters, […]
Aldon Smith, former Mizzou All-American and NFL All-Pro, dies at 36
Former Mizzou defensive end Aldon Smith has died at the age of 36, as confirmed by his former NFL team, the San Francisco 49ers. “We are devastated by the sudden and tragic passing of Aldon Smith. Aldon’s undeniable talent and sheer dominance on the field were on display from the moment he joined our organization, […]
Mizzou Hoops Player Review: T.O. Barrett
If T.O. Barrett had entered the transfer portal after his freshman season, I doubt there would be many who would have blinked. After all he only saw action in 19 games, rarely played more than a handful of minutes when he did play, and was sitting behind Anthony Robinson II on the depth chart. That’s […]

How Chip Lindsey and Austin Simmons can fix Missouri’s passing game
Curiosity with this year’s Missouri team is high as there are plenty of unknowns on both sides of the football. At the top of the list, all eyes will be on redshirt junior quarterback Austin Simmons and how he and the entire offense look under newly hired offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey. Simmons arrives from Mississippi, […]
