Missouri will have an open scholarship should forward Jontay Porter remain in the NBA Draft rather than return for his sophomore season, but Tigers coach Cuonzo Martin is not set on utilizing it.
Martin said his program — which recently missed out on Ole Miss commit Blake Hinson — would not “take a guy just to take him.” He likes the flexibility of being able to add a transfer in December.
“I also don’t think it’s pressing to have all 13 scholarship guys. You don’t play 13 guys,” Martin said Tuesday during an athletic department promotional stop.
