I fully expect Jontay Porter to reclassify to 17, shortly after the current EYBL season ends (basically, once he and his dad have established relationships with guys they want to recruit for 18).
With him on board, Reed Nikko and Mitchell Smith are relegated to irrelevance, just like Cullen VanLeer, which is awesome. Minutes: 120 at the 3 forward spots. Michael Porter - 35 Tilmon - 20 Jontay Porter - 22 Puryear - 21 Barnett - 22 Backcourt minutes: 80 at 2 spots Phillips - 28 Robertson - 25 Harris - 12 Roberts - 10 Garbage minutes: 5 to spread amongst the garbage remnants left behind by Kermit Anderson: VanLeer, Nikko, Smith Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Around Mizzou in 80 Days: Timeline of a Revival It has been 80 days since Kim Anderson vacated the position of Missouri Head Basketball Coach. A little less than 12 weeks. Those 12 weeks have taken Mizzou fans from the historic low of 27 wins in three seasons to a nearly unprecedented anticipation for the start of the 2017-18 campaign. We take a look back at the course of events during this revival of excitement around Mizzou hoops. MARCH: AN END AND A BEGINNING The month began with the end of the Kim Anderson era and one final highlight, a buzzer-beating win over Auburn in the SEC Tournament. By the time the calendar turned to April, Missouri had a new head coach, one of the nation's highest-paid assistants and the nation's No. 1 player headed to town. Take a look back at all the headlines from Mizzou's own version of March Madness. Sunday, March 5: Kim Anderson out at Mizzou Wednesday, March 8: Kevin Puryear beats Auburn at the buzzer Thursday, March 9: The end arrives with a loss to Ole Miss Saturday, March 11: Illinois fires John Groce Wednesday, March 15: PowerMizzou reports the Porters are in play Friday, March 17: Michael Porter Sr. has been offered a job and met with Martin Monday, March 20: Martin introduced at press conference Thurdsay, March 23: Michael Porter Jr. released from Washington Michael Porter Sr. added to coaching staff Friday, March 24: Michael Porter Jr. commits to Mizzou Saturday, March 25: Kevin Knox looking at Mizzou visit Monday, March 27: Knox talks about potential Mizzou visit Alex Lomax is Martin's first offer Wednesday, March 29: Porter wins McDonald's MVP, looks forward to coming home APRIL: A WILD RECRUITING RIDE While the euphoria of the Michael Porter Jr. news would not wear off for some time (it still hasn't for most), Cuonzo Martin had a roster to assemble. He began doing it by landing a point guard, chasing some stars and exploring the grad transfer market. April was full of hoops recruiting news. Take a look back at all of it below. Saturday, April 1: Knox confirms Mizzou visit Monday, April 3: C.J. Roberts sticks with Mizzou Tuesday, April 4: KJ Walton, Frankie Hughes transfer out Martin hires Cornell Mann Martin hires Chris Hollender Wednesday, April 5: Jeremiah Tilmon asks out of Illinois LOI Saturday, April 8: Knox, Porter, Harris visit Sunday, April 9: Blake Harris commits Wednesday, April 12: Porter Jr. signs with Mizzou Thursday, April 13: Harris signs with Mizzou Tuesday, April 18: Knox sets Mizzou, other in-homes Saturday, April 22: Canisius transfer Kassius Robertson sets visit Monday, April 24: Jontay Porter takes official visit Jeremiah Robinson-Earl visits Missouri Thursday, April 27: Mamoudou Diarra visits Missouri MAY: THE MOMENTUM JUST KEEPS ROLLING When May began, Missouri had two scholarships open and a lot of questions to answer. As the month enters its final week, the roster is virtually set, awaiting just one final announcement from Jontay Porter. Here are the highlights of the last three weeks as Mizzou put the finishing touches on perhaps its best recruiting class ever. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We can all just assume that Ronnie Suggs is better than Cullen VanLeer, right?
http://www.rockmnation.com/2017/5/25...ssouri-walk-on Because that would mean that Cuonzo Martin can convince better players to pay for the right to play for him than Anderson could get to come play on scholarship. Suggs is going to sit out a year and take a walk-on gig. I'm guessing his hope is to earn the scholarship in that SR season but that seems like a long-shot. Jesus...Kim Anderson gave Cullen VanLeer a division one scholly. And was HAPPY about it. He didn't lose a bet to Ben Howland or anything, he did it of his own volition! I still can't believe that real live people actually thought that hire would work. Unreal.

Didn't Knox end up picking Kentucky? If so, Hamas, you have "Puke" in the OP.

The guy has never once demonstrated that he's a good shooter. Ever. He gets open looks a lot because nobody bothers to contest him. Apart from the fact that he's a slow white guy with heavy feet, what makes you think he can actually shoot a basketball well? No, it will not be interesting to see what happens with VanLeer at all. He should play exactly ZERO minutes for Mizzou next year. Zero. Play walk-ons ahead of him. It will serve him right for not transferring. This is like people who just assume that catchers who can't hit are good at defense (Nichol's Law) - well if the guy can't hit, he must be a good fielder! That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you end up with Tony Cruz. Tony Cruz was not a major league caliber ANYTHING despite the fact that Matheny insisted on keeping him on the roster. Broadcasters would say he was but they would ignore the fact that he doesn't present a target, doesn't block pitches, can't frame pitches and can't throw out runners. But man oh man you should've heard guys fawn over how steady he was behind the plate (seriously, even a basic understanding of catcher fundamentals showed that he wasn't). he wasn't a major league baseball player and that was made evident when he was mercifully traded and ended up a backup in AAA. VanLeer isn't a good shooter just because he can't run, pass or play defense. He simply isn't a division 1 caliber basketball player. At all. He sucks something awful.

His shot is slow, and he has very little lift on his release. This means that even with LARGE windows, he has to rush his "Natural" shot a little bit to get it off. And despite Missouri's size, don't look for an offense focused on anchoring a guy to the block. They're going to set it up like IA State's offense, playing a lot of four-out and five-out sets. VanLeer's butt should be glued to the bench like his shorts are as full of cement as his sneakers are.

I met a friend of mine at BWW's during March Madness in 2016. He was there with several of his work acquaintances. One of these guys was talking about how good VanLeer was going to be and how good of a shooter he already was (when he shot 27% from three).
I wanted to cut his brake lines just for being so goddamned stupid. VanLeer might not even start on a decent DII school. He almost surely the worst player I've ever seen get starter's minutes at Mizzou, and possibly the worst who has ever gotten more than five a game. I hate him not just because he sucks, but because he's an avatar of the entire blue hair Norm-loving regime.

This is an article from 2014 about Ronnie Suggs:
http://collegebasketball.nbcsports.c...s-recruitment/ Missouri 2015 commit Ronnie Suggs reopens his recruitment Kim Anderson has seen early success by retaining assistant coach Tim Fuller and prized recruit Jakeenan Gant. He added to that hot start by landing three-star small forward D’Angelo Allen on Sunday afternoon. Earlier on Sunday, however, Ronnie Suggs, a 2015 Missouri commit, announced has reopened his recruitment, according to a tweet from Earl Austin Jr. The Washington High (Mo.) guard committed to the Tigers last August as a member of the Class of 2014, though, he had always intended on delaying his enrollment in the university until the following year. He is listed as a two-star recruit, according to Rivals, picking Mizzou over offers from Duquesne, Saint Louis, VCU and Xavier. Suggs’ older brother, Scott, played for Lorenzo Romar at Washington. Suggs committed to Mizzou with Frank Haith as the head coach. Haith wasn’t known for recruiting local talent, mainly relying on transfers. That is likely to change under Anderson, a Missouri native, who has strong ties to high school teams around the state. Anderson’s goal on the recruiting trail is to keep the talent in-state. That specific strategy didn’t work with the Haith commit, though, there is plenty of local talent the Tigers will surely have their eyes on, such as four-star 2015 point guard Jimmy Whitt and Jayson Tatum, a top-5 player in the Class of 2016. And as we saw later on Sunday, Anderson has the ability to bring recruits in to Columbia. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
