Phil Pressey gives oral commitment to MU

Point guard Phil Pressey has given Missouri an oral commitment in basketball, multiple sources have told The Star and PowerMizzou.com, an Internet site on the Rivals network.
Pressey, rated the No. 54 overall player in the nation by Rivals for the 2010 recruiting class and No. 13 in the nation among point guards, was not immediately available for comment. He was believed on his way back to Texas after taking an official visit to Missouri during the weekend.
Pressey, a 5-foot-10 senior at the Episcopal School of Dallas, has long been at the top of Missouri’s recruiting board.
He averaged 19 points, 10 assists and five steals a game last season at Episcopal and was also being recruited by Arizona, Baylor, Florida, Connecticut, LSU, Texas , Oklahoma, Texas A&M and Ohio State.
All along, Missouri hoped it had an in with Pressey.
His father, Paul — a former NBA player who is now an NBA assistant coach with New Orleans — and Missouri coach Mike Anderson were roommates as well as teammates in college in Tulsa.
Pressey has been a frequent visitor to Columbia.
On Saturday he showed off impressive passing skills and the ability to dunk in an open gym session at Mizzou Arena with current MU players.
Pressey joins 6-5 Ricky Kreklow, a shooting guard who is the son of MU volleyball coaches Wayne and Susan Kreklow.
