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.

SOMETIMES I THINK ABOUT DYING (2024) REVIEW

Sometimes I Think about Dying is a very beautiful and impactful romance drama staring Daisy Ridley as an office worker called Fran, who is very shut off from life, avoiding human interaction and often pictures herself as if she had perished. A new employee at her job, Dave Merheje as Robert, starts to bring her into the world more as she develops feelings for him. The backdrop to this melancholic lens on this lonely character is the symbolism of the small and forgotten town drenched in a lot of gray and muted colours. Daisy Ridley is just excellent here as a person who is quite mysterious, avoids social interaction and is very quiet. We don’t hear her speak for a good 20 minutes into this and through all that time she perfectly conveys her character’s feelings through body language, facial expressions and brevity with others. Until then, we’re seeing life from her viewpoint. There are plenty of fixed camera shots of repetitive and mundane things happening and uninteresting conversation...

Walnut Tweed Cake: A Delightful Blend of Richness and Texture

  We all encounter both challenges and joys in our lives and this year was no different.  As hopeful humans, we commit to doing what it takes to stay positive and enjoy the gifts each day brings. 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.  And although I tend to go with almonds and pecans most of the time, I do love toasted walnuts in pa...
