Axel Okongo, a JUCO prospect in the 2019 class, has committed to Missouri.
The 7-0 center, who played for Northwest Junior College in Wyoming, recently took his official visit to Columbia.
And it appears that was enough to sell him on joining Cuonzo Martin and company next season.

Okongo averaged 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds per game in a limited role last season at Northwest Junior College.
The Tigers are set to add him to what is already a productive group of returners, as they bring back three of their top four scorers in Mark Smith, Jeremiah Tilmon, and Javon Pickett.
