Mizzou basketball recruiting centers on guards

COLUMBIA, MO. • Torrence Watson savored watching Missouri’s 20-win season and the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance in five years. But now that it’s over, the four-star guard from St. Louis understands his potential role next season.

In departing seniors Kassius Robertson and Jordan Barnett, the Tigers lose 40.7 percent of their points from a team that relied heavily on perimeter scoring. No team in the Southeastern Conference leaned on 3-point shooting as much as Mizzou — 38.3 percent of its points came from behind the arc, more than all but four teams in the six major conferences.
