Performing a little roster math reveals a pretty clear answer: Missouri doesn’t need to sign a point guard in its 2018 recruiting class.
A reserve supply of ball-handlers is never a bad thing, but landing Alex Lomax’s services would arguably create a log jam for demand on minutes, with Terrence Phillips, Blake Harris, C.J. Roberts, and Jordan Geist already capable of playing in the backcourt.
In effect, the staff would have five contenders for just 80 minutes.
Yet Martin’s first offer in Columbia didn’t go to a wing or combo forward. Instead, it went to Lomax, who is rated No.
