Saw this report earlier, would be a huge get for Mizzou and bring more talent into SEC basketball. Interested to see how this plays out. summary
Porter Brothers to Mizzou?
- Thread starter ukbigblue
- Start date
Maybe Trae Young decommits from OU and joins them.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Would rather see all of them in the SEC.
If Michael Porter is back on the market, then we should do everything we can, including hiring his dad as an assistant, to get him to UK. He is a stud.
It's not like Calipari hasn't gone this route before. Only this time if he hired Porter, at least he has one year experience as an assistant coach.
Daddy Porter used him to the tune of $350,000 at UW. Looking to increase that paltry salary......
He would be the most polished offensive player we have landed at UK in the Calipari era. I'm sure we're good without him, and I doubt we land him, but I would just love to get him on our team.
Click the summary on the original post, a guy was summarizing what was seen on Mizzou message boards.
You can read through it all there
I really don't believe it. I'd be shocked if they decided to go play for a terrible Mizzou program that has no coach.
Porter Sr was close to Kim Anderson and wouldn't let them go play for him. Mizzou would have to hit a home run (everyone around here says it will be Cuonzo Martin or, ironically, Romar) to get the Porters to Mizzou from what I have seen and heard locally.

Man, every time I read how bad Missouri is I think about my time at Fort Lost in the Woods. Never so sick in my life.(C-4-3) I ALWAYS agree....Missouri is HORRIBLE.
They obviously have no interest in winning. If the rumors are true, they are going to a horrible Mizzou team that won't make the tourney. If the rumors aren't true, they are going to a horrible Washington team that won't sniff the tourney.
Ha. I remember in my initial MOS's AIT, everybody that transferred from their BCT in Lost-in-the-woods bitched endlessly about their hot, ******, backwoods, gravel filled, rage inducing basic training.
I thought I got off the hook by going to Relaxin' Jackson until I ended up in E-2-13 with an airborne infantry vet, a Ranger, and a green beret as my DS's. Didn't get to that relaxin' part that I was hoping for. Just a lot of sand, humidity, heat, and pushups on fire-ant hills.
Really good article about the background of Porter (dad and son) ending up at Washington.

If Romar is really feeling the heat, it would make a lot of sense for the Porter's to bolt. And...Romar himself could potentially parlay all of this into getting the Mizzou job if he wants out before the ax comes down. He coached at St. Louis U, and now he could bring the Porter kids along with him. Missouri doesn't have much to lose at this point, and Romar knows he's on the thinnest of ice at Washington.

Sorry besides getting Porter, there is absolutely zero reason to go after Romar. Same way for when folks say LSU would take Stanstbury. Those one step forward two steps back movements. Trading turds for turds.
Mine was cold and dry....even when it rained and it rained and rained and rained (snowy, nasty, dirty rain. (This was in January and February) I know I had at least a gallon and a half of nyquil. (That is all I could get away with.) (That was basic for me then, then I went to Goodfellow AFB and then to Fort we-gotcha for my AIT's) Be Good
The only way that Porter Jr goes to MethZoo is that Porter Sr goes there as the Head Coach or that Washington fires Romar and the whole bunch goes back to Columbia. Both are long-shots.
I absolutely abhor this practice. It is nothing more than buying players and I hope in never happens. I don't care how good the kid is.
Honestly, if Porter went to Missouri and they got a half way decent X's and O's coach in there, they have enough to probably compete. Phillips, Barnett and Hughes are solid players.
I don't want any player where daddy has to be given a job. I hate that ****.
I absolutely abhor the NCAA and their forced amateurism stance. Nobody else involved in college athletics or college in general is prohibited from maximizing their earning potential. Only the players, you know the kids that actually create the product that generates $Billions each year.
So if a family can find a loophole, then I am all for that. Although I would prefer that the entire system be replaced by an Olympic model.
To me, that's a terrible idea. I hope they never turn college athletics into a highest bidder system.
Who cares? Many have done it. Heck, LSU gave Press Maravich the job simply to get Pete.
Or go the Duke route and give recruit's parents an executive position at a booster's company that was never advertised nor is there any need to be qualified for.

Let UNC and Duke get in the mix for him, and we just show Knox he's a priority. I'd be let down if we hired his dad just to get him for a year.

Duke wouldn't do that. Get outta here with that outlandish claim, YPE.
2 sisters that play there, their aunt is the women's coach, and dad worked there before the Washington job.
