Mizzou’s New Class

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Head Coach Frank Haith announced the signing of a nationally-ranked recruiting class on Wednesday as Wes Clark (6-0, 175, Romulus, Mich. / Romulus H.S.), Torren Jones (6-8, 215, Chandler, Ariz. / La Lumiere School (Ind.)) and Johnathan Williams, III (6-9, 210, Memphis, Tenn. / Southwind H.S.), signed national letters of intent to play for the Tigers next season.Haith’s second year of recruiting paid impressive dividends as the class is ranked among the Top 20 nationally by ESPN and features three players ranked among the Top 70 in America by various recruiting publications.”We filled three important needs for the future and are bringing in the high-caliber young men that our staff and Missouri fans have come to expect,” Haith said. “These young guys are high-character, high-motor players. They come from strong families and great programs and they expect to win. Athleticism was a big key for us, especially with our move to the Southeastern Conference. Johnathan (Williams) and Torren (Jones) are active bigs and can really change ends of the floor in a hurry. Wes is a talented point guard that can push the ball and create. I really like the makeup of this class.
