Mizzou lands 7-foot-5 transfer big man Connor Vanover
With the departures of forwards Kobe Brown, Ronnie DeGray III and Mohamed Diarra, Mizzou has been searching for an experienced post to replenish its frontcourt depth for most of the offseason. The 7-foot-5 center had the best statistical season of his career playing for Oral Roberts this year, ranking second in the nation with 3.2 blocks per game and averaging a personal-best 12.7 points and 7.2 rebounds. Vanover was named to the All-Summit League First Team, helping the Golden Eagles go 30-5 overall and 18-0 in conference play, win the Summit League tournament championship and receive an NCAA tournament berth.
