Lorenzo Romar has been fired from Washington. Here’s what it means for Mizzou.

The news is coming fast and furious today. First, Missouri found its next head coach in Cuonzo Martin. Now, another almost equally interesting domino fell: Lorenzo Romar was let go by the University of Washington.

This is interesting for a rather obvious reason. Let’s do the math:

1. Romar hired family friend Michael Porter Sr. as an assistant coach in 2016.
2. Porter’s sons, Michael and Jontay, are high-profile recruits. Michael is a 2017 recruit who signed a scholarship agreement in the fall and, it appears, signed a letter of intent recently as an enticement for UW keeping Romar.
3. Without Romar or Porter Sr., Porter Jr. has no ties to Washington and becomes, for lack of a better term, a free agent.
4. Well, he’s a free agent for now. Maybe not for long.

On its subscriber board this morning, PowerMizzou had a rather interesting set of information about the Porters and their potential ties to Mizzou if Romar were indeed let go.

Obviously nothing is a done deal, but this next week or so could be pretty interesting.
