2026 Top-50 recruit Aidan Chronister sets official visit to Missouri

Aidan Chronister, a four-star small forward in the 2026 class, has scheduled an official visit to Missouri for September 20th, he told On3.

The 6-foot-7 rising senior out of Sunrise Christian Academy (KS) took an unofficial visit to Columbia in late-2023, but will now return for an OV.

In a previous interview with On3 in March, Chronister discussed his thoughts on the Tigers.

“I hear from Kyle Smithpeters a lot, he’s a great guy. I mean they’re killing right now, they’ve knocked off a lot of ranked teams. I’m watching Caleb Grill and Tamar Bates, those are the two who have stood out for me, and I think I can potentially fill that role.”

Chronister has also visited schools like Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Xavier, and Indiana State.

He is the No. 48 overall recruit in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He’s also the No. 15 small forward forward prospect and the No. 2 player in Kansas. The On3 Industry Ranking is a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Chronister might be a few months away from a decision, but he knows what he’s looking for in a school.

“Winning is big for me, so I want to go to a winning program. I think you can only succeed and keep getting better at a winning program. And, I’ll want to go somewhere that has a family-like environment.
