Mizzou announces signing of top basketball recruit Michael Porter Jr.

McDonald’s All-American Game MVP Michael Porter Jr. officially signed with the Missouri men’s basketball team — kind of — on Wednesday as the NCAA regular signing period got underway.

Porter — a 6-foot-10 wing from Nathan Hale High in Seattle, who is in Brooklyn, N.Y., for the Jordan Brand Classic all-star game on Friday — signed a financial-aid agreement with MU, a promissory note that guarantees the school will provide a full-ride scholarship.

Last November, Porter signed national letter of intent with Washington — a binding agreement between the player and school, but the NCAA only permits prospective student-athletes to sign one such agreement per calendar year.
