Missouri steals transfer big man from heated rival

Yahoo Sports

Bryson Tiller, a 6-foot-10 freshman, left Kansas after one season to play a prominent role on an SEC squad with high hopes.

Missouri did well for itself in a loaded SEC during the 2025-2026 campaign, but they're looking to take another step forward next season. The Tigers hope that adding Bryson Tiller will get them closer to achieving those goals. Tiller entered the transfer portal after one season in Kansas, where he averaged just under eight points per game.

While offensive production would be appreciated from Tiller in Missouri, his 6-foot-10, 240-pound frame will likely be most valuable on the defensive end. He averaged over six rebounds and a block per game with the Jayhawks, and the Tigers would love more where that came from.
