COLUMBIA, Mo. — Dennis Gates has added a second four-star recruit to the Missouri basketball program’s 2024 recruiting class, securing a commitment from forward Marcus Allen on Monday. Allen, a 6-foot-7 prospect from Norland High in Miami, chose the Tigers over finalists Arkansas, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State and Stanford.
He’s rated the nation’s No. 52 overall recruit for 2024 by Rivals.com, giving Gates two more four-star pledges for next year’s class.
On a live broadcast hosted by 247Sports.com, Allen first picked up a Michigan hat, then a Miami hat before pulling out a Nike shoe box with a black Mizzou cap inside.
