Over the last week and a half, from the first swirling reports that Cuonzo Martin was about to say yes to Mizzou and Lorenzo Romar was about to be fired from Washington, to the slow trickle of Porter-related social media posts over the last couple of days — Michael Sr.’s, then Bri’s, then, of course, Michael Jr.’s — I would randomly marvel at the timing of everything. It honestly seemed like everything was falling into place for Mizzou Basketball, and at the right time.
That it could all be tied back to a women’s coaching hire from seven years ago made the whole thing all that more interesting and unique.
