Missouri saw fluctuation in the Rivals150 ahead of the early signing period Nov. 12-19.
Rivals senior national recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw released his seventh update to Class of 2026 ranking Monday. Two of the three Tigers commits cracked the final list before expecting to sign in the coming weeks.
All three Missouri commits -- Jason Crowe Jr., Toni Bryant and Aidan Chronister -- will play for their respective high schools at Mizzou Arena in December during the Norm Stewart Classic. Bryant and Chronister will face off against each other Dec. 6.
Thirty-one states are represented in Rivals' updated 2026 ranking. Missouri has five players ranked, including former Tigers targets Ethan Taylor and Tristan Reed, who announced his commitment to Mississippi State on Saturday.
The lone Top 20 commitment for Missouri, Crowe moved up one spot to No. 17. The Rivals Industry five-star is a Top 5 player in the country by both 247Sports and ESPN. The Lynwood (Cali.) Inglewood guard officially visited Sept. 12 after becoming the first Class of 2026 commit for the Tigers on July 18.
The second commitment for the Tigers in the 2026 class, Bryant, a 6-foot-10, 215-pound power forward, dropped four spots from No. 33. The Zephyrhills (Fla.) Christian Academy four-star officially visited Missouri on Sept. 6 before pledging to the program two days later.
"When Toni Bryant is at his best, he is running from the front of the rim to the front of the rim," Shaw wrote in September. "At a lengthy 6-foot-10, he is a twitchy athlete, and he can guard multiple spots when he is locked in. He has shown a tendency to float in and out of games, consistently going long stretches with minimal production.
"He has tried to show an ability on the perimeter, where he does have some touch, but he hasn't been able to create consistent advantages there yet. Bryant has excellent physical tools, and there is some upside there if he is able to consolidate his game, learn his comfortable spots on the floor and go from there. When the motor is running hot, he can be a versatile defensive presence."
Returning to his home state for his senior season, Chronister dropped out of the Rivals150. The Fayetteville (Ark.) The New School small forward lost his Rivals Industry four-star status as well, although ranked inside the Top 85 by the two other major recruiting outlets.
"Aidan Chronister has a great frame, projectable with legit size. He has fluid athleticism. In theory, shooting is his thing," Shaw wrote in September. "At his size, the hope is that he can pull gravity beyond the arc. He is going to have to work through the balance points of his shooting platform to become a more consistent shooter at this point.
"Added strength will be necessary, especially in his base. Continuing to develop his game outside of catch and shoot, maybe with one- and two-dribble pull ups. At his best, he is moving around in the half court, hunting his areas on the floor to pull gravity as a shooter. Next step is turning that theoretical shooting into consistent production. At his ceiling, he brings an incredibly valuable and scalable tool."
