Mizzou basketball recruiting: MU Tigers land 4-star 2025 forward Nicholas Randall

Missouri men’s basketball received its second commitment to its 2025 class on Monday when four-star forward Nicholas Randall announced his decision to join the Tigers.

Randall, the No. 123 recruit, according to Rivals, joins Columbia product and four-star point guard Aaron Rowe in the Tigers’ 2025 recruiting class. Rowe is entering his season season at Tolton.

MU now holds the 18th-best class in the nation and ranks eighth among Southeastern Conference programs.

Randall is set to play his senior season at AZ Compass Prep in Chandler, Arizona, after transferring from Vashon High School in St. Louis. Mizzou sophomore Trent Pierce also played for Compass Prep during the 2022-23 season.

Last season, Randall led Vashon to its fifth consecutive state championship while averaging 10.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. The 6-foot-8 forward was voted Class 4 Player of the Year by the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association and earned All-Metro honors.

Randall chose Mizzou over Creighton and San Francisco.

Another recruit who could be in the Tigers’ sights is Davion Hannah. Originally from Milwaukee, Hannah will begin his senior season at Link Academy in Branson later this month.

Rivals ranks the four-star forward as the No. 33 prospect in the class of 2025. The 6-foot-6 forward recently narrowed his list of potential schools to four: Mizzou, Alabama, Cincinnati and Ohio State.
