Dennis Gates, Mizzou add second familiar face via transfer from Cleveland State

Dennis Gates continues to overhaul the roster at Missouri, and he’s bringing a second player from Cleveland State with him to the Tigers.

Earlier in the week, Gates picked up a transfer from Tre Gomillion, a guard out of Cleveland State. Gomillion played 3 seasons for Gates with the Vikings before transferring to Mizzou.

Saturday evening, the Tigers picked up a second transfer commitment from Cleveland State. This time, it comes from D’Moi Hodge who shared the news via Twitter.
