Michael Porter Jr. is the highest-ranked prospect Missouri’s ever signed.

After Scout released its final rankings Wednesday, he’s the consensus No. 1 player in the 2017 recruiting class. Porter is a supremely talented 6-foot-10 small forward with range well beyond the three-point arc and borderline unfair athleticism.

Porter also has become the Tigers’ ace recruiter, working feverishly to lure more talent to play alongside him next season.

“I didn’t know if I’d ever want to play there, but when (Porter) committed there I decided to try it out and I loved it,” Word of God Christian Academy point guard Blake Harris said.
