Mizzou Men's Basketball Retains Pierce, Loses Robinson to Transfer Portal
Anthony Robinson II is entering the NCAA transfer portal after three seasons with Missouri, citing decreased offensive output and increased competition at point guard.
- On Monday, junior guard Anthony Robinson II announced his intention to enter the NCAA transfer portal when it opens on April 7, per On3's Joe Tipton. The Tallahassee, Florida, native will seek other opportunities after three seasons with Missouri.
- After a promising sophomore season earning Southeastern Conference all-defensive honors, Robinson experienced statistical regression during his junior year. Head coach Dennis Gates benched him in favor of T.O. Barrett seven games into conference play.
- "There was no sulking," Gates said regarding the lineup change. Robinson finishes his tenure with 96 games played, 50 starts, and 156 career steals ranking near Missouri Tigers history's top ten.
- Robinson's departure creates four available roster spots for Missouri next season. Forward Trent Pierce recently agreed to return to the Tigers, but the program will likely prioritize adding a point guard.
- Incoming guard Jason Crowe Jr., a McDonald's All-American, joins the program as Mizzou aims for the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in five years under coach Gates. The highly touted recruit is expected to make an immediate impact.
