On Sunday, Raytown (Mo.) wide receiver Dominic Gicinto became the newest member of the Missouri recruiting class after receiving an offer he'd always dreamed of growing up a Tigers fan.

He recapped his memorable weekend with PowerMizzou.com:

- On receiving an offer from the Tigers and committing:

"It felt good. Like I told you before, being a real big fan of Mizzou it's like a dream come true that most people don't even get to think about."

- On how the offer came about from head coach Barry Odom:

"This morning we had our meetings with the head coach, Barry Odom. Me and my family went in there and he said he loved the way I worked hard and never gave up. He said when I came to camps I worked harder than anybody he's ever seen coast to coast. He said that he couldn't find anybody else more deserving of a scholarship and he told me I had an offer from them.

"I was basically in awe at that point, being offered by the school that you've grown up knowing and loving."

- On the moment you told the staff you were committed:

"It was kind of funny. I actually had walked out of the room after we got done talking and I went and talked to Coach (Andy) Hill. He asked me how it all went and I said 'it went great' and he asked me what I was thinking and I was like 'we both know where I'm going.' He was like, 'does the big man know' and I said 'no, not yet' and he said, 'well, what are you waiting for, let's go talk to him.'"

"So, we went and told Coach Odom that I wanted to be a Mizzou Tiger. It was exciting. It was pretty cool to see the whole coaching staff come in and congratulate me on committing."

- On other aspects that stood out during his official visit:

"We got to eat dinner with the coaches and their families, the other recruits, and some of the players. I got to meet and hang out with people I'll be around everyday, so it was good to get comfortable with them and see who they really are. I asked them some questions about the coaching staff that maybe I couldn't ask the coaching staff and at that point I knew these coaches are the real deal. They are good people, good men, they don't want nothing but the best for you."

- On getting more familiar with the academics:

"Saturday we went and looked around the school and saw some classrooms and see how everything works. I also got to talk to an academic advisor for the department of health science and she really got me to focus on what I needed to do when I came to Mizzou. They really care about you there. Their first goal is to make sure you graduate and I was on board from there."

- On hanging out with other Mizzou commitments throughout the weekend:

"Being around all the other commits and seeing how much they like Mizzou and seeing how much I really like Mizzou, I thought why not join them. They are great guys, really cool. They basically took me in as one of their own even when I wasn't even offered yet."
