Top 50 prospect Annor Boateng's commitment gives Tigers the top class in 2024

Missouri's recruiting class surged to No. 1 in the 247Sports Class of 2024 Team Rankings on Friday following the commitment of top-50 prospect Annor Boateng. The 6-foot-5 small forward is considered a four-star prospect by 247Sports and is ranked a five-star prospect in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite rankings. He chose the Tigers over Auburn, Arkansas, Georgia Tech and LSU.

Boateng's commitment is Missouri's fourth of the 2024 recruiting cycle, as he joins fellow top-100 prospects Peyton Marshall, Marcus Allen and T.O. Barrett as part of an impressive haul for second-year coach Dennis Gates. The Tigers built on-court momentum with a 25-10 record and NCAA Tournament appearance in Gates' first season, and recruiting success has followed.

In Boateng, the Tigers are getting a physical wing from nearby Little Rock (Arkansas)-Central High School. He is the No. 10 small forward in the class and the top prospect from Arkansas, according to 247Sports.

"Boateng is one of the more college ready two-way wings in the country," 247Sports director of scouting Adam Finkelstein wrote. "He not only has a college ready body, but also the necessary motor to maximize his physical tools. In other words, he's strong and athletic with solid positional size on the wing. He also plays hard and is obviously competitive on both ends of the floor."

If Missouri can hold its class together or even add to it -- the Tigers are pursuing five-star center Jayden Quaintance -- the program could finish with just its second top-10 class of the past two decades. The program's last such class came in 2017 under former coach Cuonzo Martin with a group headlined by five-star brothers Michael Porter and Jontay Porter.

Spooky Sips: Witches Brew Halloween Cocktail Recipe

You know me and my cocktail loving self just had to come up with a spooky Halloween drink. This cocktail is simple and effortlessly fashionable, I mean just look at that color . These will be a hit at your next party (or just on the couch watching Halloween films, Y’all know that’s my Saturday night). These drinks are the perfect cocktail trio: light, sweet, and a bit bubbly. This cocktail is flavored with Midori (a Japanese honeydew melon liqueur), lime sherbert, and lemon-lime soda. It is a pretty sweet cocktail compared to what I normally post since I like more fresh flavors and don’t eat a ton of sugar (but they are probably average compared to most cocktails). There is also vodka added for more of an alcohol kick (Midori is only 20%). I feel like Halloween cocktails are all about the look and the taste is a bit of an afterthought. I kept looking through other Halloween drinks for inspiration (and because I didn’t want to make something that has been created over and ov...

Among the New Year's good luck traditions of eating greens (for the prosperity of folded money), legumes (resembling coins) and noodles (for long life) are round or ring-shaped cakes for a sweet full circle, the cycle of life. In some cultures, the first piece is made as an offering to a saint and subsequent slices are served in order of age. Sometimes there's a small token hidden for extra good luck to the finder. So today I'm offering you a round cake in the hope you may enjoy a lovely year full of goodness and light and the very best of good luck As we turn the page into the 2023 winter season, I’m drawn to the fabulous trio of nuts, spice and chocolate.
