As a sophomore, Anthony Robinson II changed the dynamics of the Missouri basketball roster.

After what has felt like YEARS, the Mizzou Gym media inner circle got a text from award-winning SID Ryan with news that it’s happening. “Coaching news coming today.” Music to this starved-for-content writer’s dream, as we’ve reached the part of the offseason where there’s not much going on.

Welcome back to Rock M Nation’s annual opponent preview series of the upcoming season. Each week we will break down one opponent from the schedule in chronological order.
