Mizzou’s men’s basketball program has announced a standout group of student-athletes who have signed a National Letter of Intent to attend and play basketball at the University of Missouri under Head Coach Frank Haith.

“I’m really pleased with this group, we’ve been able to get some really talented and versatile guys who will be a great fit for our style of play,” said Haith, who is in his first season at Mizzou.  “We wanted to get size in this class and we were able to accomplish that, not just on the front line but in the backcourt.  With this class we were able to accomplish athleticism along with skill, size and toughness.  That was our focus when we started the recruiting process.”

Frank Haith on Jankovic
“Stefan is a very skilled post player, he’s an outstanding shooter.  An intangible with Stef is that he’s got great basketball IQ, a great feel for the game.  We feel like he’d be a four-star type of talent, but he was injured and didn’t play over the summer, so that held him back just a little bit.”

“Ryan is a low-post scorer with good skills.  He’s a really good passer and he moves extremely well for a big guy.  He’s a guy who’s willing to do whatever needs to be done on the court, and you can’t have too many of those kinds of guys on the team.”

Frank Haith on Webster-Chan
“Negus can play anywhere on the perimeter, one, two or three, which is what I love about him.  He’s an all-purpose guard, he can score, he can make plays, and he’s got great size.  He’s a very, very talented player and I think much like Stef, he would probably be a four-star guy but because he was banged up over the summer he couldn’t showcase his skills.”
