Indiana, Louisville, Mississippi State, N.C. State and Virginia Tech appear to be standing out for Christian. With that being said it does sound like there is a chance for Mizzou to get back in the picture if they chose to put in the work.

Davis visited Mizzou for the Georgia game and came away impressed with what the Tigers have to offer. Oklahoma and Louisville appear to be Missouri's biggest challengers.

North Carolina, USF, Miami, Maryland, Kentucky and Minnesota are out in front for Davis. Official visits are planned to North Carolina and Miami (Fl.). There is no timeline on a decision.

Duncan told PowerMizzou.com that he has kept in steady contact with Greg Brown. That work by Brown has led Duncan to be very interested in Mizzou. North Carolina, Virginia and North Carolina are the other Power 5 schools to have offered Duncan.

Hayden had Mizzou amongst his finalists before committing to Arkansas. He maintained before his commitment that he'd take official visits to multiple schools so Mizzou may still have a chance.

Virginia Tech and North Carolina are standing out for Holston. Despite that he says he wants to take all of his official visits before making a decision.

Rountree is listed by Rivals.com as an inside linebacker, but Mizzou is recruiting him as a running back. The North Carolina prospect will visit Missouri on December 2.

Louisville is the leader for Williams. Even if Mizzou can't get back in on the Alabama running back a commitment by him to Louisville could help the Tigers with Anthony Davis.

In talking with some people it is sounding more and more like it will be Thomas or nothing to finish out the wide receiver class. That being said it is sounding more and more positive for Thomas and Mizzou.

In somewhat of a surprising move Boyd committed to Illinois fairly early. Despite that Mizzou has not stopped recruiting the talented offensive lineman.

Calbert has been in contact with A.J. Ofodile and plans to visit Mizzou at some point. The Tennessee native is also high on Memphis. Kentucky and Mississippi State are also squarely in the mix.

It did not take long for Hayes to commit to Oklahoma once the Sooners offered. Missouri will continue to recruit the top rated in-state player till they are told not to or Hayes signs with another school though.

Pleasant holds several offers, but is taking his time with recruitment. Missouri seems to be in good shape to get a visit.

Robbins has been taking unofficial visits to local schools like USF, UCF and Florida. He is planning to take official visits to Missouri, Iowa State, Pitt, Memphis and Colorado State. He isn't set on a decision date yet and it could happen before he takes all of his official visits.

Oklahoma native added an offer from Mizzou recently. Wickline is a newer name, but based off of offers Mizzou would seem to be right in the mix.
