Ratliffe ready to go

Sources told PowerMizzou.com on Friday afternoon and Missouri officials have confirmed that Ricardo Ratliffe is enrolled in classes for the fall semester.

Ratliffe, the No. 1 junior college player in the country for the Class of 2010, committed to Missouri and signed in the late signing period. He had summer course work to finish up at Central Florida Community College and speculation ran wild as the first week of classes finished at Mizzou with no news from Ratliffe.

But on Friday afternoon, it became official that Ratliffe is enrolled. He is expected to arrive on campus over the weekend and begin classes on Monday afternoon.

The Tigers still await word on the status of Tony Mitchell, the highest-rated player in a recruiting class that ranked in the top ten in America according to Rivals.com.
