College Basketball 2016-17

There are apparently already rumors that Michael Porter JR and his brother will ask out of their LOI's at UW and follow Martin to Missouri. They are from Missouri originally, the brother Johntay is supposed to graduate early so both would be freshmen next year. Michael is of course VERY good.

If that rumor is true it likely means Romar is on the way out, recently was reported he was staying so who knows.

But if true Martin would at least have some talent his first year but I agree he's been pretty mediocre. He's from East St Louis which is right across the river from Missouri(the state) so he's pretty local. Evan Daniels said he was offered the Illinois job too. I don't know if he has any connection to the Porter family but I'm assuming he'll hire the dad just like Romar did if that rumor is true.

Damn I'm too fast. UW just fired Romar.

And how long before Brandon Roy to UW rumors start so they can try and keep Porter.

Biancardi reporting as rumored Cunzo Martin will hire Michael Porter Sr and get the 2 sons. Apparently Porter JR did NOT sign an NLI so doesn't need to ask out.

Percy Allen reporting 3 current UW players and 3 recruits have indicated they will probably leave.

Presumably the 2 Porter kids and the 3rd one is Daejohn Davis.

Looks like it's actually Porter Jr, Davis, and Jaylen Nowell. I guess Johntay Porter has not reclassified yet so is still a 2018 recruit right now.

Sooo dang nervous and it's not even game day for my aggies. It has been so long since we've been out of the first round.

IU fired Tom Crean. UCLA boards are all saying Alford to IU because they want him gone(even now) but my guess is they'll go after Archie Miller(who will turn it down) or Tony Bennett(who will probably turn it down too) first.

No chance @GottliebShow up and leaves OSU after a year. He'd be there to build, and keep building.
