Alonzo Verge is one of the top point guard prospects in the country and he's right in Mizzou's backyard. He had West Virgina, Oregon, Oklahoma, Baylor, coaches in the gym all the time to recruit, and Mizzou was nowhere to be found. Bobby Hurley came to visit him directly 3 times and now he's committed to Arizona State.

Verge was Chicago player of the year out of high school, Juco All American last year, and just dropped 55 in a game last week, while never turning the ball over.

Here's the Chicago player of the year list since 1995:

The point guard solution is/was right up the road in Moberly - jrmtiger MU - 11/17 09:06:26
     Way to many people say he's pure trouble to be - alwaysright MU - 11/17 11:58:26
     we recruit players that work hard to score - DollarSigns MU - 11/17 11:03:59
          Watson, MPJ, Jontay, Guess and Jackson - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/17 11:07:40
     I think we can assume Cuonzo doesn't know how to get - SuperTone MU - 11/17 10:17:25
     Calixte would have helped a lot this year - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 11/17 09:41:47
          Didn’t we look at Calixte? - jlbomega MU - 11/17 10:30:02
          he took the long term approach - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/17 09:49:03
               Well that's about the most positive spin one could create. - tjwheeler UI - 11/17 09:58:36
               Yeah and not saying it was wrong but - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 11/17 09:53:47
                    It's been obvious Win or Lose He wedded himself to Geist - longtimereader MU - 11/17 18:00:38
                    He certainly put a lot onto Geist's shoulders - HCCM likely - tigerdb MU - 11/17 11:14:33
                    Ramey hit the winner against Arkansas - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/17 10:33:08
                         I guess but I'm squinting trying to see it (nm) - longtimereader MU - 11/17 18:04:33
                    Shaka made Ramey and Dad a priority (nm) - Uncle John MU - 11/17 09:59:05
                         Didn't CM make Ramey a priority though? - tjwheeler UI - 11/17 09:59:52
                              I fairness not the same as Shaka - longtimereader MU - 11/17 18:09:04
                              I guess he thought he would beat Shaka for him, but Smart - Uncle John MU - 11/17 10:04:09
          CM going all in on Ramey might be the biggest - tjwheeler UI - 11/17 09:43:16
               That's not his biggest mistake although it's rolled into it - longtimereader MU - 11/17 18:16:30
               I don’t think this is a fair assessment - jlbomega MU - 11/17 10:38:07
                    He had no intention of having Dru this year - tjwheeler UI - 11/17 11:26:33
                         who is "WE"? - tigerdb MU - 11/17 11:45:59
                              People who want MU to do well. - tjwheeler UI - 11/17 12:24:32
               Yep think Calixte committed well before - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 11/17 09:45:33
                    RE: Yep think Calixte committed well before - tjwheeler UI - 11/17 09:56:35
     it is like we are not allowed to recruit there - DevilsAdvocate MU - 11/17 09:30:48
     I said this over a year ago, heck, the best guard duo - nomotiger MU - 11/17 09:27:18
          The best guard duo is at SLU - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/17 09:28:39
               RE: The best guard duo is at SLU - nomotiger MU - 11/17 09:31:25
                    Isabel is there as well, as is Javon Bess - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/17 09:37:50
     Dru Smith is on the roster now - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/17 09:26:42
          Will Dru Smith play this year for MU?(nm) - playhard NWMSU - 11/17 10:22:36
               No and neither will Verge (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 11/17 10:34:02
          This is the answer. You have Smith and Pinson for the next - StaleyTiger MU - 11/17 09:28:00
               Fan desperation - longtimereader MU - 11/17 18:31:50
     I trust Cuonzo knows he's doing. I doubt there is any - tgr MU - 11/17 09:20:40
     I would like to know why we ignored him.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 11/17 09:17:15
          They sent Michael Porter Sr. up for one game last week.. - jrmtiger MU - 11/17 09:20:50
     That's just silly - he wouldn't have helped this season, and - tigerdb MU - 11/17 09:11:58
          I get that, but MU needs a PG with a couple developed years - jrmtiger MU - 11/17 09:18:04
               whut? - tigerdb MU - 11/17 09:20:40
          A lot of that is bs. He's actually a pretty bright kid with - jrmtiger MU - 11/17 09:14:49
               To clarify, I don't know anything about him. Just passing - FIJItiger MU - 11/17 09:17:31
                    Sure, I get that, but the Mizzou coaches should know better. - jrmtiger MU - 11/17 09:19:22
               RE: A lot of that is bs. He's actually a pretty bright kid with - tjwheeler UI - 11/17 09:16:51
                    It's really the only thing. Please fill me in on what else - jrmtiger MU - 11/17 09:20:01
                         I'm not going to dump it publicly. - tjwheeler UI - 11/17 09:27:30
          sounds like clemmons part deux (nm) - TigerA MU - 11/17 09:12:02
          So basically Ricky Clemons - tjwheeler UI - 11/17 09:10:13
               Whoa(nm) - TigerA MU - 11/17 09:12:35
