Loyola Marymount transfer Jevon Porter commits to Mizzou

A year ago, a homecoming appeared in the offing for Jevon Porter and Missouri.

But it never came to pass for myriad reasons, and the Columbia native opted to follow Lorenzo Romar, his godfather, from Pepperdine to nearby Loyola Marymount. That reboot, however, didn’t unfold as planned.

The 6-foot-10 forward’s productivity slipped as a junior with the Lions, and now, he’ll look to maximize his last season in the college ranks with the Tigers. Porter committed to Missouri on Thursday, a move initially reported by ESPN’s Jeff Borzello and confirmed by a source with knowledge of the move.
