Crowe led the Nike EYBL circuit this past summer with 23.6 points per game. The Inglewood, California, native is the highest-ranked recruit to sign with Mizzou since Michael Porter Jr. in 2017.
The trio of 2026 signees has Mizzou with the third-best recruiting class next season, according to 24/7 Sports, trailing only Kansas and Purdue. According to ESPN, it’s the No. 1 recruiting class in 2026. The Tigers, however, are the only team in the country with multiple five-stars signed or committed.
