With twelve recruits incoming, this is Mizzou’s largest class since 2015. Eight of them are on MatScouts 2022 Big Board as well, making this a star studded class. One of them is Owen Uhls, who comes in at #221 on MatScouts Big Board. Uhls won 3 state titles while representing Fulton High School, and will be Mizzou’s first recruit from there since 2010.
