In my third post for Rock M Nation, on June 5th, 2014, I mentioned the possibility of Missouri landing an elite prospect named Michael Porter Jr. Over four years that followed, we published 4,000 follow up posts — give or take — talking about the potential (or in a lot of cases the lack thereof) for Missouri to land Porter. Then he committed to Washington, and we kinda stopped.
But then a fortunate series of events unfolded, delivering a generational talent to Missouri — a process so wild that most MU fans had an out-of-body experience just thinking about the renaissance he was about to impose on Tigers basketball.
