They followed their dad who was given a 7-figure contract and an opportunity to reunite the family in CoMo.
No recruit in the history of college sports had as much incentive as the Porters to pick MU:
• 7-figure contract for the parents
• father gets an assistant coaching spot (1 of only 3 allowed by NCAA)
• father previously coached there
• aunt currently coaches there
• sisters currently play there
• entire family lives there
Look, I give Cuonzo credit for the 5-stars he recruited to Tennessee and Cal, but he's NOT the reason the Porters came to MU. They would have come here for anyone not named Kim Anderson.
If anything, the Porters helped Sterk recruit Cuonzo (from Cal) to Mizzou.
