Mizzou basketball scholarship chart for 2026-2027
Missouri used all but one roster spot during the 2025-2026 season. Coach Dennis Gates left one spot open, while the scholarship and roster cap thresholds moved to 15-player maximum across the NCAA this past year.
The Tigers entered the offseason with six open roster spots. Mark Mitchell, Shawn Phillips Jr. and Jayden Stone all exhausted eligibility. T.O. Barrett, Jacob Crews, Sebastian Mack, Jevon Porter and Anthony Robinson II all entered the transfer portal. Crews and Porter both applied for waivers.
Crews still entered the transfer portal, though, in pursuit of a hardship waiver for an additional year of eligibility, according to his agent, Daniel Poneman of WEAVE. The forward played in only nine games in the ’21-22 season, keeping him under the maximum game limit to qualify for a redshirt year.
Missouri signed three recruits for 2026, marking the eighth-ranked class this cycle. The Tigers also retained six players of their nine eligible players from this past season’s roster.
Final season of eligibility:
Burns earned a redshirt in his freshman season, which the center missed the majority of with a foot injury. Rowe, a graduate of Columbia (Mo.) Father Tolton, redshirted his freshman campaign as well, while not appearing in the 2025-26 season for Missouri. The Tigers currently have nine scholarships filled.
Carey transferred to Missouri from Tennessee, marking the first portal addition of the offseason for Gates and his staff. After one season at Providence, Jones officially joined Carey in the Tigers’ portal class the following day. Tiller, a Kansas transfer, pledged to Missouri over Arizona and Miami. Davis and Crawford joined the Tigers after one season at BYU and South Dakota, respectively.
