Once again, it was a big week for the Missouri Tigers across the athletic spectrum. Here’s a recap of the events we didn’t cover, with links to what we did.
Football
The Tigers had a ton of portal news this week.
Here's our story on the Tigers getting an official visit from JUCO edge rusher Joshua Shanklin.
Kenny put together a recruiting notebook on a camp visitor to know and Kamari Blair.
I also wrote about Jalen Catalon closing the circle on his college career.
Running back Austyn Dendy joined the list of outgoing Tigers, here's our story on his departure.
Before his commitment, Kenny wrote about quarterback prospect Gavin Sidwar and how other Tigers from Pennsylvania helped his decision.
The Tigers then got the commitment of Iowa tight end Gavin Hoffman. Here is our story on the commitment.
And then Sidwar committed just hours after Kenny posted his story about him. Here is Kenny's story about the commitment.
I wrote about Eliah Drinkwitzdiscussing depth and the portal.
Kenny wrote about Mizzou using some Arizona connections to make an offer.
Then Illinois State receiver Xavier Loyd committed to join the Tigers. Here is our story on the commitment.
Kenny wrote about incoming freshman Jason Dowell and how he feels about his cousin, Shannon Dowell, joining the women's basketball team.
With the addition of Loyd came a new edition of the deep dive to see what the Tigers added to their receiver room.
And Kenny added another recruiting notebook on a new offer and some transfer visitors.
Finally, this morning, I took a look at where the Tigers' draft prospects stand as the draft approaches.

Though it was a quiet week for the Tigers in the transfer portal, I wrote another wish list for the final two roster spots.

First, I wrote about Saniah Tyler, the first transfer addition, and her history of winning.
The only brand new addition this past week was Sydney Mains, here is our story on her addition.

I also posted a photo gallery from that game and wrote a story about Jackson Lovich being the bright spot of the baseball season.
