The Missouri landed the five -star goalkeeper Jason Crowe Jr., a consensual player among the first five in the 2026 class.
Crowe, a 6 -inch 3 -inch gauher keep guard of Inglewood (California) High School, was widely considered as child’s play for southern California until Missouri and Kentucky entered the photo earlier in summer. Tigers made their initial scholarship offer in June. Kentucky was also a competitor. Crowe’s father was a teammate from the current Wildcats assistant Jason Hart.
“The coach (Dennis) Gates is a coach and a phenomenal person, and his staff are great people,” said Crowe. “Our first conversation occurred during the tests in the United States. It was really authentic. We talked about the family and connected to a significant level. The Gates coach is a person first with the family. On the ground, he is high and competitive.”
Crowe is the first to score in the Nike Eybl with an average of 23.6 points per game. He would become the best rated recruit to attend the Missouri since Michael Porter Jr. (2017) and Lina Kleiza (2013) if he remained attached to the Tigers for next year.
