Jontay Porter Reopens His Recruitment

By JACOB POLACHECK

Jontay Porter, the 6-foot-9 junior power forward from Nathan Hale (WA) High School, announced Friday on Twitter that he will reopen his recruitment.

Porter had initially verbally pledged to Washington but Lorenzo Romar was fired.

“My family and I thought it would be in my best interest to re-evaluate where I’m going to go in light of coaching changes at UW,” said Porter.

Porter’s father, Michael Porter Sr., is in the mix to be an assistant on Cuonzo Martin’s staff at Missouri.

Due to the recent turn of events I've decided to reopen my recruitment!
