Trent Pierce talks commitment to Missouri

“I chose Missouri because of Coach (Dennis) Gates and their staff,” Pierce said to On3. “I really connected well with the coaches on my visit and I like how Coach Gates emphasizes on working on the little things that would make a big impact on my game. They checked off every box that I was looking for in a school.”
