COACH TAYLOR ON ADDING COX TO PROGRAM

• "I don't know if I have met someone more competitive than Kaylee. She refuses to lose and never shies away from stepping up in big moments. She wants to be the best player she can be and getting to have her in the gym in January will allow our staff to help her achieve just that. She's coachable, fun to be around and will make sure to outwork everyone in the gym."

COX ON JOINING MIZZOU

• "I picked Mizzou because the coaches made me feel so welcome and I fell in love with the campus. The current group of girls also made me feel like family. The program they have is one of a kind and I can't wait to get there in January!"
