Jennings was the first one to commit to Missouri Southern earlier this winter. Lambert and Clark committed within days of each other this week. The three guards will head to Missouri Southern as quite the combination. Jennings had a hand in Lambert and Clark heading to Missouri Southern.
“Missouri Southern was already recruiting Elyjah and they actually came to watch me and him play against each other in the Bixby Tournament,” Jennings said. “Coach Boschee asked me one day if I knew Kinzer and I told him that I have been playing against him my whole life. I told coach how good of a player Kinzer was and they ended up going to watch him.”
Jennings checked in with the coaching staff to see what they thought and Missouri Southern was impressed with Lambert.
“They really liked him (Kinzer),” Jennings said. “Kinzer and I both went up last week to play with the team and meet the guys and we both really liked it up there.”
Having Jennings already committed played a little into Clark’s decision.
“I knew Parker was going there and it played a little into my decision knowing that if I went there I would know someone,” Clark said.”Then Kinzer committed and that made it even better.”
Clark and Lambert played for the same Grassroots organization the Oklahoma Wizards last summer. All three gave similar answers as to why Missouri Southern was the spot for them.
“I like the coaching staff,” Clark said. “They were always in attendance. Missouri Southern is losing guards and I will have the opportunity to possibly start.”
Missouri Southern landed three great Division II prospects out of Oklahoma. Not only are Jennings, Lambert and Clark good on the court, but great off the court as well.
