Its a pretty well known fact that Porter didn't play AAU, so he was a relative unknown until Thompson got wind from a G Town alum. Shot up the rankings when services found out who he was senior year.
Point was that tiny towns don't get recruiting hype

Are you intent on being obtuse? Porter was under the radar until his senior year because he played at a small school and didn't do AAU. There's some similarities to Baker there. If you're intent on focusing on the dissimilarity, you can be. It doesn't negate the analogy. Just points out that, like every analogy, it isn't perfect.

He was under recruited given his talent level. If he had played in STL and played for the STL Eagles AAU team, we all would have heard about him and his hype like Tatum or close to it. So yes, he ended up at Gtown, but that doesn't mean he wasn't under recruited.
