10:33 AM ET 05.06 | It's no secret Missouri is still working on its 2012 recruiting class. The Tigers have one scholarship available, and while they remain a finalist for five-star forward Devonta Pollard (whose status remains in the air), it's certainly worth noting that Tulsa transfer Jordan Clarkson and Findlay Prep star Matt Willms are currently visiting the campus and are believed to have committable offers. But Clarkson, a 6-foot-4 guard who averaged 16.5 points per game this season, and Willms, a 6-11 three-star forward, aren't the only recruits on Missouri's radar this weekend. Coach Frank Haith and associate head coach Tim Fuller were also busy entertaining a quartet of high-level 2014 recruits from one of the top 16-and-under AAU teams in the South. That's right. Four players from Memphis-based Team Thad - which is currently 24-0 and sponsored by current Philadelphia 76ers Thaddeus Young - visited Columbia on Saturday, including four-star forward Leron Black (who is rated by Rivals as the No. 20 overall player in his class) and four-star point guard Anton Beard.
