Missouri Tigers

September Commits:

  • 5-star SF Annor Boateng

A program that is certainly red-hot on the recruiting trail at the moment, Missouri added what was likely the biggest commitment of their current top-ranked 2024 class during September in Annor Boateng. Yes, the Missouri Tigers do in fact currently have the highest-ranked class for the 2024 cycle at the moment.

Looking at Boateng, the small forward is rated as a five-star prospect out of Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas. Boateng is also the top player in the state of Arkansas, and as mentioned previously, is the highest-rated current commitment in the Tigers 2024 class.

Speaking of that class, Boateng is the lone five-star of the cycle so far for the Tigers, and is the biggest name to commit to Missouri of the Dennis Gates era. In this class, Boateng joins others such as Marcus Allen, Trent Burns, Peyton Marshall, and T.O. Barrett.
