The Missouri Tigers basketball program may add blue chip recruit Kevin Knox to its growing program of stars for the 2017 season.
Kevin Knox, another fan favorite to join the Missouri Tigers basketball program, has announced that he will be making his decision soon, as to where he will play basketball in 2017.
Apparently, students at the University of Missouri made quite an impression on the young recruit, who felt like a superstar during his visit two weekends ago, with fellow blue-chip Michael Porter, Jr.

Adding to his decision, has been the heavy recruiting efforts of Porter, Jr., who has also been recruiting any other blue-chipper who will give him the time of day to state his case for them playing at Mizzou. Want to win a championship? Come to the Zou.
Knox, who plans to make his decision over his spring break, will have to decide among programs which are loaded with talent, including the recently crowned National Champion North Carolina Tar Heels, Duke, Kentucky, Florida State, and the up-and-coming Missouri Tigers.
According to Eric Bossi of Rivals, Knox stated that his decision will occur over spring break.
"Yes, it’s spring break when I get home from Jordan Brand. I’ve been traveling all over for these games, and it will be good to get a routine, clear my head, and lock in on a decision."
Knox also enjoyed his visit to Missouri, tremendously. “It was a great visit, and I had a really good time. The facilities are really nice, the fans are crazy, and Coach Martin is a really good coach.”
So it sounds like Missouri students did their part to give Knox a feel for life as a Tiger. For now, to quote a line from a Tom Petty lyric, “the waiting is the hardest part.”
