Along with the preseason team rankings, the Southeastern Conference released its All-SEC teams for individual players on Monday.

None of Missouri's player made the cut, including guard Tamar Bates, who averaged 13.5 points per game on 50/39/93% shooting splits during the 2023-24 season. It has 11 new players on the roster from its transfer and recruiting classes combined, with only a few returners from last year's team.

The All-Sec teams are as follows:

First team

  • Mark Sears, Alabama
  • Johni Broome, Auburn
  • Walter Clayton Jr., Florida
  • Zakai Zeigler, Tennessee
  • Wade Taylor IV, Texas A&M

Second team

  • Grant Nelson, Alabama
  • Jonas Aidoo, Arkansas
  • Johnell Davis, Arkansas
  • Matthew Murrell, Ole Miss
  • Josh Hubbard, Mississippi State

Third team

  • Chad Baker-Mazara, Auburn
  • Alex Condon, Florida
  • Jaxson Robinson, Kentucky
  • Collin Murray-Boyles, South Carolina
  • Tramon Mark, Texas

The Tigers may have missed out on the preseason lists, but they several players on the roster that have the potential to play their way into the end of year lists. Bates is likely at the forefront of that list, but transfers Mark Mitchell and Tony Perkins — or even freshman Annor Boateng — are realistic candidates.

Missouri's talent was cut short on the list as well as its team ranking (No. 13), but after a winless season in the SEC, that had to be expected. It has much to prove before gaining the respect of voters again.
