SEATTLE (AP) — On a recent Wednesday night at Hec Edmundson Pavilion, Michael Porter Jr. walked out of the locker room with a security detail at his side, pausing only momentarily for a photograph with a fan in a purple Washington hat who had found his way into the hallway behind the court.
Porter had just put on yet another show as the nation's No. 1 high school recruit for the nation's No. 1 high school team. He scored 41 points in a league tournament game on the same court where Washington fans expect Porter to do the same next year after having signed to play for the Huskies.
