COLUMBIA, MO. • For the past few weeks Jontay Porter has emerged from the shadow of his older brother on basketball courts in Virginia, Indiana and Georgia. By being on his own, he’s perhaps proved he’s ready to join his brother on Missouri’s roster next season.
Jontay Porter, the 6-11 forward who committed to Mizzou last week, is no longer a sidekick on the Nike EYBL circuit. He’s become a force for MOKAN Elite, the AAU team that helped showcase Michael Porter Jr., the nation’s top-ranked recruit, who’s bound for Mizzou in the coming weeks. Jontay, now the anchor for MOKAN’s streamlined summer roster, is putting his talents on display against the nation’s top 2018 and 2019 recruits.
