After entering the portal in late March, Mizzou transfer guard Xavier Pinson has narrowed his options down to four teams, including three from the SEC.
On Sunday, Pinson posted a graphic on his Instagram story naming Arkansas, Auburn, Georgia and Nebraska as his final four.
A starter in all 26 games of Mizzou’s 2020-21 campaign, Pinson averaged 13.6 points, 2.9 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game this season.
From Chicago, Pinson was a former 3-star recruit on the 247Sports Composite in the class of 2018. Mizzou beat reporter Dave Matter points out that there’s a decent chance Pinson will return to Columbia as a visitor in 2022.
Mizzou plays Arkansas home & away every year and is due to host Auburn & Georgia in 2022, so unless Pinson chooses Nebraska he’ll play a game in Columbia next season.
