Just ask 6-foot-8 forward Parker Braun, who passed on several power conference scholarship offers to walk on with the Tigers. Braun is a Missouri legacy from the Sandbothe basketball family.
But it was the Porters — Jontay and assistant coach Michael Porter Sr. — and their summer basketball connection that helped lure him to Boone County. As a high-energy power forward with plenty of growth potential, Braun could become a classic long-haul fit for Martin.
His arrival could be one of the many residual benefits from Porter’s decision to return.
