BIRMINGHAM, ALA. – Mizzou Men’s and Women’s Basketball student-athletes Javon Pickett and Hayley Frank will represent Mizzou for the annual Southeastern Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Leadership Council on Thursday, conducting the gathering in a virtual format.
The council consists of one male representative and one female representative form each of the SEC’s 14 institutions. The goal of the leadership council is for student-athletes to serve as a conduit of communication from their teams to the conference on issues related to student-athlete experience, student-athlete wellness, and to provide feedback on proposed rules governing the SEC and NCAA.
The Men’s Basketball Leadership Council and the Women’s Basketball Leadership Council comprise two components of the SEC Student-Athlete Leadership Council. The third component is the Football Leadership Council, which meets each January.
Pickett enters the 2021-22 season as the lone senior on the men’s basketball team, coming off a solid junior campaign. Pickett was Mizzou’s go-to Sixth Man, appearing in all 26 games where he averaged 6.2 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. He has been a consistent performer for the Tigers, scoring in double-figures seven times and grabbing at least three rebounds 12 times.
Frank appeared and started in all 20 games last season for the Tigers, averaging 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists. The Strafford, Mo., native shot the basketball at an incredibly high level, shooting 53.3 percent from the field, 45.1 percent from three and 87.0 percent from the free-throw line.
