And Missouri State is now only 2 over the scholarship limit as one of their players has decided to leave school. The school announced today that 6'10" senior center Nic Tata, who saw very little playing time as a backup to Gaige Prim, is leaving school to play professionally in Australia. He is originally from Melbourne, Australia and played a couple years at Blinn junior college in Texas, before playing 2 seasons at MSU. He would have had 1 more season of eligibility at D1.

He is the 11th new player to commit to Missouri State for the 2022 recruiting class. They have had 7 players transfer (see below), one player de-commit (Hampton) and 2 leave due to exhausting eligibility (Prim & Minnett).
