Mizzou rookies impress Anderson, veterans

COLUMBIA, Mo. • Summer workouts began last week for Kim Anderson’s Missouri basketball team, with 11 of the team’s 13 scholarship players for the upcoming season taking part.

Sophomore guard Montaque Gill-Caesar is still in Canada nursing his sore back, while junior forward Russell Woods, a junior college transfer, is taking one last course before he can enroll at Mizzou. Gill-Caesar had planned to play for Canada’s U-19 team this summer, but when he experienced some back spasms earlier this month, he opted to pull out of the tryouts but stay in Canada for a few weeks while taking an online course.
