No. 1 prospect Michael Porter Jr. will request a release from Washington, his father confirmed to ESPN.
If this kid even considers Missouri, then his head is totally in the wrong place and we have zero shot at winning that race.

Daddy? Yep. Coachie? Not so.His dad and the coach he committed to play for at Washington are now at Mizzu, that's where he'll end up.

Nope, not sarcastic just prayingI assume you're being sarcastic. We have zero shot with this kid. I assume he's going to Missouri.
Must not be thrilled with the idea of playing zone for the next four years.

Pray for a night with Alexandra Daddario instead, it is much more likely.Nope, not sarcastic just praying
Yea I know the history, but it's just such a bad "basketball decision" for a player of his caliber to do his time there, even worse than committing early to UW in the first place, that it essentially makes his intentions clear as day and therefore a waste of time if we attempt to go after him. Otherwise you are right.He's got family connections, played high school basketball in Columbia before going to Seattle, and his father's got an offer to join the coaching staff.

Why is is a bad basketball decision? Simmons went to a bad school missed tourney was #1 pick, Fultz went to a bad school missed tourney will be #1 pick, and Porter will go to a bad school will miss the tourney and will be the #1 or 2 pick.Yea I know the history, but it's just such a bad "basketball decision" for a player of his caliber to do his time there, even worse than committing early to UW in the first place, that it essentially makes his intentions clear as day and therefore a waste of time if we attempt to go after him.

I just feel like these schools with zero bball reputation don't help your game at all, even only being there for a year. Also I think we saw with Simmons that missing the tournament with all that hype behind you isn't a good look.Why is is a bad basketball decision?

Well it was such a bad look for Simmons it ended in him being the #1 pick in the draft and $7.5 million dollar shoe deal (he turned down $10 mill from Addidas).I just feel like these schools with zero bball reputation don't help your game at all, even only being there for a year.

That being said, as long as you don't go to UConn no one will wonder about how many horsepower your "motor" has. /s *I kid I kid*
You are right it didn't hurt Simmons that much, but he was also an absolutely "can't miss" which is rare in a relatively weak draft. The noble experiment didn't work as well for guys like Malik Newman though as uncommon as it is.Well it was such a bad look for Simmons it ended in him being the #1 pick in the draft and $7.5 million dollar shoe deal (he turned down $10 mill from Addidas).
Mizzu has a weight room, a basketball court, and basketballs, that is all he needs for his 6 months in college.
Missouri is as good a place as any for a one and done.
The family lives there, his sisters play for the school, his aunt coaches the women's basketball team...why wouldn't he go there?
Then why didn't he go there to begin with? I don't understand what makes these top level 1 and dones pick their school.

He played his jr. Hs yr for a Jefferson City, Mo. school.If this kid even considers Missouri, then his head is totally in the wrong place and we have zero shot at winning that race.
