Sean East commits to Missouri basketball, coach Dennis Gates

Dennis Gates has landed some extent guard.

Sean East, the 2022 NJCAA participant of the 12 months, has dedicated to Missouri males’s basketball, he introduced Friday on social media.

East selected the Tigers over Kentucky, Oregon, Clemson, South Florida and BYU.

He performed for Massachusetts and Bradley earlier than transferring to John A. Logan Neighborhood Faculty this previous season.

East averaged 20.9 factors, 5.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds per recreation on the junior-college degree.

His dedication fills maybe Missouri‘s largest want this offseason.

Final season, with no pure level guard, the Tigers’ backcourt struggled with turnovers and shot choice. East provides a pure level who can distribute, one thing Missouri has been lacking since Xavier Pinson transferred a 12 months in the past.

East’s dedication most certainly takes Missouri out of the working for Bradley guard Terry Roberts, who had Missouri in his listing of ultimate colleges.

East claims the final open scholarship Missouri and Gates presently have to supply.
