Missouri lands Phil Pressey

Missouri coach Mike Anderson has signed Phil Pressey, the son of former NBA player and current New Orleans Hornet assistant Paul Pressey.

The elder Pressey and Anderson were teammates and roommates at Tulsa.

Phil is one of the best point guard recruits in the country, ranked 33rd over by Scout and 54th by Rivals. He is clearly an excellent talent, as he was recruited by just about everyone in the country after averaging 19 ppg and 10 apg last season.

But that's not why Missouri fans should be excited.

Pressey is small. He's listed at 5'10", but a lot of people have speculated he's closer to 5'8".

And he can do things like this:



They'll love him in Missouri.

The Tigers have one other signee for the class of '10 right now - Ricky Kreklow, a 6'5" shooting guard from Missouri.
