Top Prospect Jason Crowe Jr. Commits to Missouri

Jason Crowe Jr., a five-star guard from Inglewood High School in California and a top prospect in the 2026 class, has committed to Missouri, becoming the Tigers' highest-rated recruit since Michael Porter Jr. in 2017. Crowe was heavily recruited by Kentucky, USC, Texas, and Arkansas, ultimately choosing Missouri for its strong relationship with coach Dennis Gates and his staff. He currently leads the Nike EYBL in scoring and is recognized as one of the top point guards and scorers in his class. Crowe is also approaching the all-time California high school scoring record. His commitment is a significant recruiting victory for Missouri, which has reached the NCAA Tournament twice in Gates' three seasons. Crowe cited Missouri’s family-oriented coaching approach as an important factor in his decision.
