Adam Zagoria covers basketball at all levels. He is the author of two books and an award-winning journalist whose articles have appeared in ESPN The Magazine, SLAM, Sheridan Hoops, Sports Illustrated, Basketball Times and in newspapers nationwide.
Sophomore guard Jordan Clarkson is transferring to Missouri from Tulsa, CBSSports.com reports.
“I’m comfortable with Coach [Frank] Haith and the team,” Clarkson, who averaged 16.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists, told CBS. “Coach Haith’s had a lot of success with transfers and it just felt like the right place for me.”
A first-team All-Conference USA first-team last season, the 6-foot-4, 185-pound Clarkson also considered UCLA and Illinois.
He opted to leave following the coaching change that brought in Danny Manning.
The addition of Clarkson may take MIssouri out of the running for 6-8 Devonta Pollard, who is also considering Alabama, Georgetown and Texas.
Clarkson joins former UConn big man Alex Oriakhi in offseason transfers to Missouri.
The Tigers will also add transfers Jabari Brown (Oregon), Keion Bell (Pepperdine) and Earnest Ross (Auburn).
