Nate Brown and Lawrence Lee are a pretty good set of WRs. Lee is rated as a 4-star on at least two other recruiting sites (ESPN and 247, IIRC) and is a quick/dynamic slot type.
Nate Brown is likely going to get a bump, too, and is possibly a Parade All-America.
Best case, IMO, would be closing like this:
Brian Wallace (their current top target)
Darrell Williams
Dante Sawyer (likely coming in for an official with his teammate, Nate Brown)
Kaleb Prewett/Ray Wingo (they like Prewett a ton, apparently)
That and hanging on to Jhonny Williams are the biggest priorities, IMO.
If they can close this year strong, the 2015 class looks potentially awesome. They'll have a lot of momentum rolling, IMO. It's a strong in-state class (Drew Lock, Hale Hentges, Alex Ofodile, Khalil and Carlos Davis, Marquise Doherty), there are some studs nearby (Boatreace and Beckner in E. St. Louis - Beckner now a 5-star on 247), and they're getting good interest in the Southeast.
Anree St. Amour (goes to same HS as Brown and Sawyer) is a top 250 DE who likes Mizzou a lot. Rivals also mentioned that three 2015 4-stars from the Southeast have a lot of interest in Mizzou (Rico McGraw, Justin Hilliard and Chason Virgil, a 4-star dual threat QB from Texas).
Early wish list:
Lock (****, potential *****)
Beckner (****, potential *****)
Ofodile (**** - legacy)
Davis and Davis (**** and ***)
Hale Hentges (****)
Abbington (**** JUCO)
AJ Harris (**** OT, former teammate/friend of Clay Rhodes)
Marquise Doherty (****, biggest obstacle probably is baseball coach Tim Jamieson)
Saint-Amour (**** DE)
Hilliard (**** OLB)
McGraw (**** S)
Natetreace Strong (**** RB from ESTL)
