Michael Porter Jr. asks for release, Mizzou could be landing spot

Posted Mar 22, 2017
Last week, Washington fired longtime head coach Lorenzo Romar. Since then, it has been speculated that 2017's No. 1 player Michael Porter Jr. – whose father Michael Sr. was on Romar's staff – would ask for a release. ON Wednesday, the 6-foot-9 small forward from Seattle (Wash.) Nathan Hale confirmed his plans to ask for a release from his National Letter of Intent. (Rivals.com)
