Catching up with Jontay Porter 4/9/2017 Tyler Simpson | Lead Writer Few have had the whirlwind of a month that Jontay Porter has had. Porter’s dad was on the Washington staff and was let go after the surprising firing of Lorenzo Romar, who many had thought would get one more year with the impressive recruiting class he had coming in. Porter, who is still living in Seattle until the end of the month is playing part of the spring with MoKan Elite, until he comes to a conclusion on his reclassification. The traveling has been exhausting for the younger Porter, but he’s not letting it hinder his gameplay. Porter, a one time Washington commit won a Washington High School State Championship this year under former NBA player, Brandon Roy. A Missouri State basketball championship and now a Washington State basketball championship to add to the already impressive resume of Jontay Porter. “It was a blessing, it was awesome to have a coach with a lot of experience and knowledge of the game. He taught us not just skill wise, but how to approach things with a professional mindset.” Porter said of Nathan Hale High School Coach Brandon Roy. The one remaining question with Jontay is whether or not he will decide to reclassify from the class of 2018 to 2017. “I want to get it over within the next week, the only reason it hasn’t happened yet is because we’ve been all over the place due to recent events and traveling, we’re going to sit down and figure it out this week.” Whether Porter reclassifies or not, the main assumption is that he’ll go back to Father Tolton High School in Columbia to play his final senior season, “I need to assess what’s going on in Columbia, but that’s more than likely what’s going to happen.” “This is my first summer without Mike, so it’s not so easy to rely on him to get some buckets or score 30 a game, I’m trying to take my offensive game to the next level. Defense will always be there and I will always improve on that too. My mindset is something I’m working on as well.” Porter said of what he’s trying to improve on. Although Porter has not officially committed to Missouri, it’s the perceived notion that he will attend there. “Some coaches have inquired about my situation, but I’ve politely shut it down. As long as my dad is coaching there, I’m going to go there and play for him.” Porter has high hopes for Cuonzo Martin and company to cash in big time this weekend with the highly touted recruits they had on campus in Kevin Knox and Blake Harris. Whether or not they are able to secure commitments, there is still a palpable buzz around Missouri Basketball again and it’s all thanks to the Porter family. If Jontay decides to reclassify then he thinks it will be an all-time great recruiting class. “Fab Five 2.0.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

From a Kentucky writer:
CHANGE OF PLANS: Knox makes a change in his recruitment Five-star wing player Kevin Knox has had a change of heart after visiting Missouri on the weekend. The 6-foot-8, 197-pound Florida native has now completed all five officials visits and will pick between Missouri, Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke and Florida State. Initially Knox was planning on deciding this week and before the Jordan Brand Classic but that's no longer the case. Kevin Knox's father, Kevin Knox Sr., told Cats Illustrated that his son will make a final decision either April 28th or May 1st and that decision may be impacted based on when Knox can be on national television. Knox Sr., described the visit to Missouri as a "great experience" and appreciated how next head coach Cuonzo Martin is a straightforward guy. Knox Sr., said the visit was slightly different than other visits because this late in the game Missouri didn't waste time pitching the Knox family. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Porter and Knox, even if they are short-timers, will lay the foundation for this program in a way that could be felt a decade from now. I'd be content with that lot without Knox, truth be told. Hell, I'd be pretty damn pleased if it's just Harris, Roberts, Tilmon and MPJ. I'm really excited about what Harris and Roberts can develop into out of the backcourt; that's a very good set of complementary skills. Roberts could turn into a go-to, crunch time scorer and Harris has the look of an outstanding distributor. Both guys have the ability to be plus defenders. Guard play will always be king come tournament season, IMO. Just those 2 guys alone (and Smith may be better than both of them; seems to be a combination of the two) could be the centerpiece of a genuinely dangerous Sweet 16 caliber team in 3 years, well after Porter and Knox are gone. |

Even if MU doesn't get Tillmon this offseason is already much better than any MU fan expected. I can't even imagine a MU fan being a Debbie Downer right now! |
I'm excited for the season..dad and I used to watch almost every game and I haven't watched a game since Haith was coaching..didn't like that hire and just found something else to do with my time
I'm looking forward to watching Harris play with his ability to create shots for his teammates with his passing |
I'm not concerned by rumors of Tilmon to kansas. Still confident he's going to Mizzou.
It makes sense, for both him and Mizzou, to at least make a show of looking around at a few places before committing to Mizzou, which is what everyone expects. I'm more concerned about his ability to qualify than him going somewhere else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This year our 7'0 center Azubuike is a near lock for the starting lineup and our 6'10 5 star recruit Preston will surely be a one and done. I'm a bit confused as to why the Tilmon to KU rumors are getting any traction. I think he's a near lock for Mizzou at this point. |
Quote:
They're getting traction because the kid wants them to. Whether that's because the kid really wants to go to kansas or because the kid wants the optics to be better (committing immediately to Mizzou could raise eyebrows more and draw more attention to Mizzou's behavior during his request for release, I suppose), I don't know. I think it's the latter. Former doesn't make a ton of sense. Kansas has one spot open and seems to be chasing different positions (SG/PG). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
I really really want Mark Smith.

The original tweet is a little misleading. It's worded to the effect of, "KU to see 2017 big man on Friday!" If you read the link from the tweet though, Kansas is just sending a coach to St. Louis to talk to him.
That's quite a bit different than Tilmon planning an official visit to Lawrence. http://kansas.247sports.com/Article/...eriod-52268411 |

Doubt Harris is or he would not be 4-* but that was my first thought reading your post. |

I think the issue with Stokes is that he was not a quick-twitch guy... not dynamic off the bounce/a threat to take it to the rim and score. That's where Harris would have an advantage even if he is not a feared perimeter shooter. At 6-2, he has good size and length for a lead guard (I see some Tyshawn Taylor in his athletic profile, though he isn't as polished a product or as good a shooter as Taylor was exiting HS). And he can really elevate to finish. Put 10-20 good pounds of weight on him, and I think he's got the potential to be a really dynamic PG. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My hope is that the has the athleticism of Ricky Clemons with the vision of someone like Stokes. If you take Clemons (off-court shit notwithstanding) and make him a 5-6 assist per game PG, that's a damn nice player. He was never a great shooter but he was just quick enough and had just enough handles to slice the lanes and be a steady 10-12 ppg threat (who often scored more because his usage rate was too high). I think worst case scenario you end up with Jimmy McKinney. McKinney never turned into the dynamic, do everything guard I thought he'd be when he got to campus, but when he got a little more run as a senior, you saw flashes of the player that he could've been with more time to develop early in his career. I think you could get a 12/6/2 PG out of Harris pretty easily with a good enough mid-range game to get his 12 points off 8-10 shots and 4-6ish FTAs. A lot of the assist numbers will depend on his supporting cast but given reasonably productive scorers around him that allow him to distribute, that seems reasonable. You'd love to see the Sophomore version of Phil Pressey, before he decided he was going to be NBA bound and turned to a lot of hero ball and shot jacking his senior year. Give him Pressey's arc through the first two years and then continue it for years 3 and 4 and you'll have a hell of a career. |
How God damn nice is it going to be to watch a competent team and not have to listen to old Kermit croak his way through an interview. I get more excited each day.

Where's the Travon Bryant tho?

MPJ will be in Knox's ear the entire time until he makes his decision....he's got us this far with him so I'm not doubting he can convince him to come.
I think it's us or Duke.... |

From the KC Star: Father of Kevin Knox II breaks down recruiting pitches by Mizzou, four other schools The couches inside the living room of the Knox family home earned their fair share of wear and tear this past week. Years after the recruitment process began for Kevin Knox II, the five-star, 6-foot-9 forward from Tampa, Fla., five college basketball coaches stopped by his house to give their final pitches in hopes of earning a pledge from one of the top uncommitted recruits in the 2017 class. Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton and Kentucky’s John Calipari visited Tuesday, while North Carolina’s Roy Williams, Missouri’s Cuonzo Martin and Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski spent time with the family Wednesday. “It was a once in a lifetime thing,” Knox’s father, Kevin Knox Sr., said in a phone conversation with The Kansas City Star on Friday. “When you hit all the benchmarks of your high school career and then, for it to come down to the last, final day of recruiting and all those guys come through, it was good. It was pretty exciting.” Knox is expected to announce his college decision between May 1 and 7, according to Knox Sr. The visits came just days after Knox played in the Jordan Brand Classic. Knox Sr. said he has heard many of the pitches and, by now, redundancy is prevalent. Still, he was impressed by what each coach had to offer. Krzyzewski, Knox Sr. said, pitched “what he’s pitched the last two years” in that Knox can step in for Jayson Tatum, who declared for the NBA Draft on March 22. Williams, too, pushed a similar narrative in reference to Justin Jackson, who was crucial in the Tar Heels’ national championship run. Jackson declared for the NBA Draft on April 13. Kentucky spoke about Knox’s ability to play the two-guard, while Florida State went with “a unique approach,” Knox Sr. said. A former Florida State wide receiver and national championship winner under coach Bobby Bowden, Knox Sr. said Hamilton compared Knox II to Syracuse’s 2003 national championship team with Carmelo Anthony, now a 10-time NBA All-Star. The pitch? Knox II would be Florida State’s 2018 version of Anthony. “I thought that was really good,” Knox Sr. said. “For their 2018 team, they were going player for player that won the national championship (with Syracuse) with Kevin being Carmelo. It was amazing because they’re similar sized when both entered college.” Missouri’s pitch was a bit different because of the Tigers’ late arrival to the Knox II sweepstakes. Knox Sr. said he enjoyed visiting with Martin, who compared Knox offensively to Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown, who Martin coached at California. Cuonzo Martin has 'whirlwind' start as Mizzou basketball coach New University of Missouri Tigers men's basketball coach Cuonzo Martin visited Kansas City on Wednesday and discussed his whirlwind start to the job, his plans and vision with Kansas City Star sports columnists Blair Kerkhoff, Sam Mellinger and Vahe Gregorian. Shelly Yang The Kansas City Star “He’s a good coach, he’s a disciplinarian and I’m a disciplinarian dad, so I kind of liked that whole spiel,” Knox Sr. said. “He’d allow him to play. Obviously, with him and Michael Porter, he’s going to allow them to play.” Two weeks ago, the Knoxes visited Columbia along with Missouri signees Porter Jr. and Blake Harris. Admittedly, Knox Sr. said he was surprised by the school that jumped in on his son late because of Martin’s hiring and Porter Jr.’s commitment. “I was actually impressed with the campus, man. We didn’t realize that the amenities that they had were like that,” Knox Sr. said. “The facilities are top notch, and it’s almost like a hidden gem in the Midwest, if you ask me. Columbia is away from St. Louis, so it’s more of a college town. “Something like that, being in such a secluded neck of the area in the Midwest, and to go there and it be like an oasis it was like, wow. I didn’t know the practice facility and the facility was just so top notch. It was really nice.” In past weeks, the Knox family has met often to discuss the looming decision. With three or four of those meetings remaining, Knox Sr. said his his last message to his son will be: “Are you comfortable with the decision that you’re going to make? Because ultimately, you’re the person that’s going to have to live with that.” Knox Sr. remembers his decision, and is appreciative that his parents did not force him to play football at Alabama, Miami, LSU, Georgia or Florida. Why? It allowed him to meet his now wife, Michelle, and without her, he said “there’d be no Knox II.” That’s why, with just days until his son will come to a conclusion, he’s proud. He’s proud his son is reaching a dream, which explains his current attitude. “At this point in time, to be honest with you, I really don’t care where my son goes to school,” Knox Sr. said. “I’m very happy with the five schools that he’s selected. If he chooses Missouri, I’m good with it. If he goes to Florida State — obviously being a Florida State alum — I’m good with it. You can’t go wrong with Krzyzewski, the national champion North Carolina Tar Heels and then of course, Kentucky. “You can’t go wrong with any of them.” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
