Early Sunday afternoon, news started to break that Matt Pressey and Ricardo Ratliffe had committed to Missouri. JucoJunction has the scoop straight from the source.
"Yes, I did commit this morning," Pressey told us on his way back to Dallas.

And Ratliffe?
"Yeah, he committed too."
Both players had said they would wait and take more visits before committing. But the visits changed both their minds.
"They're missing some pieces, they're losing some key guys that they need to fill up," Pressey said. "In talking to coach Anderson, he thought I was the perfect guy to fill that spot."
Same goes for Ratliffe. The Tigers lose three starters and Pressey and Ratliffe could both step into those roles as soon as next season. And Missouri has gotten good news sooner than expected.
"When I sat down and talked with coach Anderson, I already knew the style of play," Pressey said. "Once I got here, I just liked everything. The visit was great and I just went ahead and committed."
PowerMizzou.com is attempting to reach Ratliffe to confirm personally with him. Ratliffe, out of Central Florida Community College, is rated as the nation's No. 1 junior college prospect according to Rivals.com.
