The Morning Commute for Tuesday, October 22
Welcome to the Morning Commute
Today we’re talking about injury updates, Brady Cook, and recruiting.
After an emotional Homecoming win over Auburn, the attention turns to Alabama.
Alabama Head Coach Kalen DeBoer held his weekly press conference on Monday to preview Saturday’s game vs Missouri and provided a key injury update. Starting safety Keon Sabb will be out with a lower extremity injury.
Kalen DeBoer provided injury updates on Keon Sabb and a banged-up #Alabama defensive back room.

Yesterday at Rock M and Rock M+
Morning Commute from Josh Matejka: Congrats to the MO Sports Hall of Fame inductees
“We got to see QB1 and our ESPN turned J-School professor king go in together…”
Chase Daniel and John Anderson are among the many Mizzou names heading into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2024.
MV3 from Josh Matejka: It’s Brady Cook and everyone else
“I don’t need to justify our pick here. Mizzou does not win this game without Brady Cook, plain and simple. You know it. I know it. Period.”
The “Brady Cook Legacy Game”, is that what we’re calling it?
A Fan’s Notes from Dan Keegan: Cook is Legend
“Mizzou still has a lot of winning to do in order to tip the scales of the pain it has endured. But on Saturday, Brady Cook became a legend – in Mizzou’s stories, and Auburn’s too.”
Mizzou is now 17-3 in their last 20 games started by Brady Cook. Just keep winning, QB1.
Mizzou Hoops Player Preview from Matthew Harris and Matt Watkins: Jacob Crews
Player Preview | #Mizzou struck quickly this spring to add UT-Martin wing Jacob Crews, a high-level spacer the Tigers hope can help erase inconsistency from outside a year ago.
Again, I cut some ️, and @DataMizzou was at the ⌨️.

“Should Crews see the projected number of possessions on offense and maintain his efficiency, we could reasonably project that he averages around eight points per outing. If those eight points come from being a consistent floor-spacing threat, all of Mizzou’s players will be better for it.”
Read up on UT-Martin transfer Jacob Crews on our latest Mizzou Hoops player preview — who is an intriguing addition to this year’s roster.
Mo’s Munday Musings from Chad Moller: Tigers — and Tigers fans — hung in there Saturday
“The win certainly won’t go in the pantheon of beautiful games, but it will go down as one of the grittiest in program history.”
This is a win that Mizzou fans will be talking about for a long time.
SEC Hoops Preview from Sam Snelling: Texas A&M Aggies
“My Results: Texas A&M Aggies — 9th in Conference, 9-9”
Read up on Texas A&M on our latest SEC Hoops team previews led by Buzz Williams and Wade Taylor returning. Sam predicts the Aggies to go 9-9 and finish ninth in the league.
• Tobias Ten from Cal Tobias: Tigers succeed on HoCo Week
“What a Homecoming week it was for Mizzou! On the gridiron, the Missouri Tigers beat Auburn in a storybook-like victory behind Brady Cook. Elsewhere, soccer beat Oklahoma in a renewal of the old Big 8/12 matchup, and volleyball handled Mississippi State in a thrilling four-set win. Here’s this week’s Tobias Ten!”
As usual, great pics throughout the week from Cal.
The 2024 Season Preview Magazine is available NOW over at Rockm.plus:
The 2024 Mizzou Football season is one that has been met with as much anticipation as any in recent memory. With Eli Drinkwitz’s program taking a huge step forward in the 2023 season, going 11-2 and securing a Cotton Bowl victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes, there’s a renewed focus on what Missouri can do to put itself in the conversation for a berth in the College Football Playoff.
The digital magazine we present today is 115 pages chalk full of Mizzou Football previewing, scouting, interviewing, and more…
Over at Rock M+: Matthew Harris with a check in on Mizzou Hoops target Nicholas Randall and Mizzou Football target 5-star Andrew Babalola sets his commitment for early next month
