despite being older than Jontay (by 13 months), more physically developed, more NBA-ready, and projected higher in the NBA draft (top 20 by most experts; some even have him as a lottery pick):

So if Jontay leaves, then Arkansas will have gotten more out of Gafford than Mizzou got out of both Porters COMBINED (and without Gafford's father getting a 7-figure contract).
Hopefully Jontay does the right thing and returns to MU for what should actually be his freshman year of college. It would benefit him long-term by improving his draft stock as he develops his game and matures physically. It would also help his, MPJ's, and the entire Porter family's legacy at MU. Hopefully that means something to them.
