Two of the nation's top high school players and future Tigers displayed their talents on Tuesday night as they continued their journey to Mizzou for the 2026-27 season. Missouri signees Jason Crowe Jr. and Toni Bryant both showcased their abilities on the national stage Tuesday during the McDonald's All-American Game.
Crowe earned MVP honors as he led the West to a 102-86 victory, leading all players with 16 points and five assists in just over 22 minutes of play. Shooting 8-of-13 from the field, Crowe's all-around impact helped him become the Tigers second-ever signee to earn MVP honors, joining Michael Porter Jr. In 2017.
Additionally, Bryant delivered a highly efficient performance for the East. He finished second on the team with 14 points to go with five rebounds and two blocks in 23 minutes, connecting 6-of-11 from the field and 2-of-4 from the three-point range.
Overall, the Mizzou signees were two of just three players that scored at least 14 points
in Tuesday's all-star game. The duo are the sixth and seventh McDonald's All-Americans to sign with the Tigers directly from high school.
Crowe and Bryant are two of the Tigers' three signees in the Class of 2026, which currently ranks as the nation's No. 4 class in the country by ESPN. Crowe ranks No. 7 in the nation, while Bryant is No. 14. Aidan Chronister also joins Mizzou, ranking as high as the No. 72 player in the class.
The trio joins a Mizzou program that has made the NCAA Tournament in three of the last four seasons, including bids in each of the last two for the first time in 13 years.
