PORTER CHOOSES HOYAS

Georgetown picked up a big-time commitment on Tuesday afternoon, gaining the nod from 6-8 BF Otto Porter. A star at Sikeston (MO) Scott Central, Porter blew up this season and some now view him as a potential top-40 national prospect. He’s a very skilled and tall forward who can face the rim and put the ball on the floor.

NBA types have begun referring to players such as Porter as “stretch forwards,” and in his case the archetype applies. He’s also a talented athlete with length and an exciting style. Missouri was among those to be disappointed by his decision in favor of the Hoyas. The challenge for Porter now is to get stronger — that’s the biggest weakness in his game at present.
