A third women’s basketball player from the Linthacum family of Jefferson City is coming to play basketball for coach Robin Pingeton at the University of Missouri.

On Monday night, Hannah Linthacum announced via Twitter her intentions to accept a scholarship offer and commit to the MU program.  Hannah Linthacum will join her big sisters in redshirt sophomore Micah, and true freshman Sarah, as members of the Tiger program.  The “Linthacum Lineage” runs deep with Mizzou athletics, as the girls’ father Larry, along with their grandfather and great-grandfather all played football at the university.

Hannah is a small forward at Jefferson City High School, and is now the second MU commit for the Class of 2023, joining another in-state product in four-star Grace Slaughter of Grain Valley High School.
