Four Missouri teams sign recruits this week
This week a handful of athletes took pens to paper and signed on to become future Missouri Tigers.
The men’s basketball team and women’s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics teams all announced commitments from recruits the past few days.
The Tigers basketball squad welcomed three signees: Kadeem Green, Rick Kreklow and Phil Pressey. Pressey is a guard from Dallas and is the son of former NBA player, Paul Pressey.
Last season he averaged 19 points and 10 assists for Dallas Episcopal and is ranked No. 31 in ESPNU’s Top-100 of the class of 2010.
Kreklow attends Rock Bridge High School in Columbia and is the son of Missouri volleyball coach, Wayne Kreklow.
Rick Kreklow is a six-foot-five-inch shooting guard who hit 56 3-pointers for the Bruins last season. Green comes out of Charlotte, N.C., and is a six-foot, nine-inch power forward. He has an 87 rating by ESPNU.
As Wayne Kreklow’s son prepared to sign his letter of intent, his dad was involved with some recruiting matters of his own.
The Missouri volleyball team received commitments from Molly Kreklow and Lisa Henning—both top 50 recruits.
Kreklow hails from Delano, Minn., and is the niece of Wayne Kreklow. She is a six-foot setter who was named an AAU All-American the past two seasons.
Henning is a Blue Springs, Mo., product who led her team to a runner-up finish in this year’s state tournament.
She is a middle blocker/outside hitter.
The Missouri women's team announced the signing of two recruits--Maggie Flynn of Troy, Mich., and Paige Spietz of Brimfield, Ill.
As juniors last season, Flynn averaged 18.1 points a game and Spietz averaged 17.9 points a game.
As Missouri gymnastics prepares for the start of its season, it welcomed four future members of the squad.
Cathryn Aliceaacosta of Houston, Taylor Medrea of Britton, Mich., Brittani Price of New Lennox, Ill., and Katelyn Trevino of Ovilla, Tex. signed letters of intent this week.
