Missouri makes the cut for 2019 forward EJ Liddell

EJ Liddell, a 4-star forward in the 2019 recruiting class, has included Missouri in his final five schools.

The 6-7 power forward from Belleville West High School (IL) revealed his updated list on Monday, with Illinois, Kansas State, Ohio State, and Wisconsin also included.

Liddell has an official visit lined up to Ohio State on August 31, but no other visits have been announced.

According to 247Sports, he ranks as the top player in Illinois and the Np. 12 power forward in the 2019 class.

Current projections from recruiting analysts have the Buckeyes as the favorite to land Liddell.

Missouri currently has no commitments for next year’s class.
