COLUMBIA, Mo. — “It’s been a very long road for me. I went through some things that a kid shouldn’t really go through at such a young age.”
Those are the opening words to the video Sean Durugordon posted Wednesday on Instagram, a 60-second clip that ended with the 6-foot-6 guard wearing a Mizzou T-shirt.
Later, Durugordon shared more about a tragic childhood that helped shape a young man who’s now the latest piece to Mizzou’s 2021 recruiting class. Durugordon was born in Harlem, New York, but has spent most of his life in the Queens borough.
