Barrett goes in-depth on his commitment to Mizzou

Barrett discussed his commitment to Mizzou with On3.

“When I went to Missouri for my official visit, it just felt like home when I got there. I felt very welcomed and became comfortable with them really quickly. I felt like I really fit their play style well, and I really liked coach (Dennis) Gates.”

In his own words, what type of player is Missouri getting in T.O. Barrett?

“When people ask me what kind of player I am, I tell them I’m a basketball player. I feel like I can do anything on the floor and I play both sides of the floor. I will guard the other teams best player and I can score the ball and make plays for others on offense.”

Barrett has a message for Mizzou fans.

“You are getting someone who is ready to come in and be a main part of our success. I’m ready do whatever to win. Go Tigers!”

Scouting Report

“TO Barrett is a big-framed guard. He makes a lot of positive plays on both ends of the floor. He is a good defender, very instinctive off the ball. He creates lots of deflections and quickly turns defense into offense. He has long arms and plays with a great pace. He gets downhill to the paint and finishes from various angles through contact. While he is a solid to an above-average athlete, his jump shot is promising. He does a lot of things that show up in the win column.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
