Jontay Porter out for the year

Mizzou fans I can’t even begin to tell you how sorry I feel for this young man. He’s an all American and a dang good kid. Hope he heals well and can continue his dreams. Good luck this season guys!

That's so Mizzou

frick!!!!!!!!

Can’t we just have shite go RIGHT FOR ONE GD SEASON? Seriously. I’ll take just the one at this point.

What higher power did we piss off anyway? Haven’t we been tortured long enough?

You couldn't make this shite up. If you wrote it down, people would say no team has bad luck like this. So will have to coach his azz off to make up for this. On the bright side, Porter comes back next year and the team is loaded.

And the MCL.....sucks arse.....long road back, IF he ever gets back......to play BB, not just at Mizzou.

If anything, Jontay Porters stock will drop after this. This really sucks for him personally, because he probably would have made more money going to the draft this year. This is why most talented players go to the draft ASAP to avoid a potential injury that could hurt their draft stock. He knew the risks coming back, and unfortunately for him, they came full circle. As Wtodd hinted out, an injury like this could effect his play in the long haul. I could see him returning to Mizzou next year if he’s healthy. He would still have 3 years of eligibility to play around with to improve his stock if he needs it.

The thing people have to keep in mind regarding NBA draft stuff is that every year, players break out in college that may not have been seen as a talent before and more and more talented players are coming out of high school. Most NBA teams are gonna put Jontay on the shelf while they look at all the new talent coming in. He's not going to be a priority when everyone knows he's gonna be on the bench and he's injury prone. That's just business.

Reminds me of how excited I was about Kelly Thames. He was never the same.

Jontay will have to comeback just to prove he can play with that knee
