Cross on Choosing Tiger Style

“I chose Mizzou because of the team culture, Tiger Style, and most importantly, the coaches. It's impossible to be surrounded by those guys and not get better. Coach Smith, Maple, and Todd are the guys who can give me the opportunities and coaching I need to be a National Champion."
