Missouri Tigers men's basketball has picked up a 247Sports prediction to land four-star forward JJ Andrews. The Little Rock native has narrowed his commitment decision down to three schools; Missouri, Arkansas and LSU.

Andrews is the 34th ranked player in the nation, and the top ranked recruit in Arkansas. Dennis Gates and his staff are familiar with the Little Rock area, having landed former top-40 prospect Annor Boateng, who's now entering his sophomore season with the Tigers.

Did you notice?

Mizzou baseball alum Max Scherzer is making progress towards his return from injury. He's been sidelined on the injured list since March 29.

Max Scherzer threw a "heavy bullpen", John Schneider said, a term that I've immediately come to love.

Everything sounds like it's going well. He'll likely face live hitters before advancing to any form of rehab assignment, but he's getting closer. #BlueJays
