With his talent, I'd really be surprised if Porter isn't a "one and done". Think of the players he might help bring to Mizzou if he stayed around for a while. Check this out. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/ ... e2548.html
If he could be the first pick in the draft, wonder how many millions he would lose out on if he decided to stay another season.Almost all of them say stuff like this...and then leave immediately if they are a 1st round pick
I can't think of a single reason to not go pro with so much money in play. Take the money and run. Nobody is promised tomorrow.With his talent, I'd really be surprised if Porter isn't a "one and done". Think of the players he might help bring to Mizzou if he stayed around for a while.

I don't like or watch the NBA basketball but it doesn't matter much what he does after he gets to the NBA if he gets millions to go there, plus the endorsement money that will come his way. He can get his degree AFTER he plays it out in the NBA. IF it turns out he can't cut it then he'll get it at a fairly early age and have the money to pay his way easily. Not to mention even if he's just an ok NBA player he will be very well payed to hang around with some team for several years.I have seen him play. IMHO, he is a unbelievable high school ball player, a good D1 college ball player, and will be an also-ran in the NBA. He should get his education.
High quality trolling right here.I have seen him play. IMHO, he is a unbelievable high school ball player, a good D1 college ball player, and will be an also-ran in the NBA. He should get his education.

I hope you weren't hoping to retain any credibility around these parts.
You're missing the point. The guy could be the next Anthony Bennett. That doesn't mean he should stay in school. 1st rounders have guaranteed contracts for millions of dollars. He's looking at an 8 figure deal.
You can always take some of those millions and go to college later.
You have to hate money to not go pro if you are a guaranteed lottery pick.
The kid has won on every level so far. Hs, AAU circuit by winning the NIKE Peach Jam, National HS championship, Gatorade POY and McDonalds all-American game. You do not do all that with "not being that good". The kid has developed over the years. Best of wishes to him no matter how it turns out. He has a ton of pressure on him now with the whole state thinking he will turn Mizzou bball around immediately.
The good thing is that he will have lots of help around him.
trifecta0323, Can you name the players who will be helping Michael Porter Jr.? How many rotation players will " Suitcase Martin " and the Porters bring in for the 2018 Missouri Tiger team? Can we give a " Thumbs up " on the 3 new asst. coaches hired by Coach Suitcase Martin?
Wow metro suitcase would you pass up the chance to leave MO state to go to Tenn. Would you stay at Tenn when they are signing petitions and booing you every home game. And if your goal is to coach in the midwest would you stay on the coast
Suitcase is a name used when a person changes jobs every 2-3 years. Most coaches should try to move up when taking a different position. Coaches who make ' Lateral " moves usually indicate unhappiness or a posse is being organized. How many lateral moves has coach Martin made in his four coaching jobs in 10 years?
1. Missouri State--Mid Major
2. Tennessee------Move up from Missouri State
3. California--------Lateral
4. Missouri---------Lateral-Minus
If we rate Tennessee, California and Missouri based on the past five seasons, which one would be the better coaching position?
1. Tennessee
2. California
3. Missouri
I think you can also win bigger at Mizzou than cal. Martin had trouble getting his guys into Cal.Lateral minus? That's not what his paycheck shows
what is your source? I'm also not entirely sure Bol Bol's frame will hold up against the physicality of SEC bodies.Porter Jr. will be staying a second year to play with his brother and is trying to get the 7 foot 1 inch Bol Bol to commit to Mizzou in 2018 with his brother.

Lol. Ok.Porter Jr. will be staying a second year to play with his brother and is trying to get the 7 foot 1 inch Bol Bol to commit to Mizzou in 2018 with his brother.
Martin is not going anywhere unless he is fired. He is home.
You are right cow it's what he does with those recruits that counts and I think the jury is still out on that. All this hoopla about being a tournament team might be a bit premature.Recruiting is the least of my concerns with Martin. He's shown at Mo State, Tennessee, and Cal he can recruit high level players.
Given the current roster and commits, yes. If Tilmon joins, still yes but less of a yes. If, big if, Tilmon and Knox join, not premature at all. If, bigger if, Tilmon and Knox and one of the guards join...MU fans better be ready to have some fun!You are right cow it's what he does with those recruits that counts and I think the jury is still out on that.

We know martins teams will defend and he can recruit athletes. That means they always have a chance. Throw in ascorer here and there and his teams can be special.You are right cow it's what he does with those recruits that counts and I think the jury is still out on that.

We're in recruiting mode on NCAA basketball on XBox. EA Sports: It's in the game! Don't get in the way of that!what is your source? I'm also not entirely sure Bol Bol's frame will hold up against the physicality of SEC bodies.
