Lee-Huntsville alum Kaleb Brown is ready to make a bigger impact for Mizzou basketball this season
. The Huntsville native entered the portal during the offseason, looking for a place where he could find more time on the court.“He had a reflection,” MU head coach Dennis Gates said at SEC media days in October. “He sat there, looked in the mirror, with open arms our staff, our program received him back.”
The 2022-23 campaign had seen Kaleb pick up frequent DNPs. He finished with 11 appearances, down from 27 his freshman season, and nine points.“Kaleb Brown’s senior year was the COVID year in high school,” Gates said. “His freshman year was post-COVID year, which is two transitions that caused difficulty in getting your feet underneath you in a moment where you’re in a new environment. Obviously he went through a coaching change.
“He’s changed his body,” MU guard Sean East said at media days. “He’s changed his mindset. He’s gotten better. He’s been in the gym every day and he’s become more of a leader, and it’s just been a beautiful thing to see.” In his limited action last season, Brown showed off the ability to defend, something both his coach and teammates emphasized has further improved during the offseason.
Missouri has a large roster this year, and Brown’s role could largely be determined on how far he has come during the offseason. But he’s entering the season “10 toes down” with the Tigers, in the words of Noah Carter, and looking to make an impact.
