MPJ and Jontay
Martin says Michael Porter Jr. is both an aggressive scorer (but a smart shooter) and a willing passer. Not afraid to take the big shot too.

When asked about the last scholarship for 2017, Martin said "we're always recruiting." Couldn't comment on Jontay's reclassification.

He can’t comment on Jontay’s reclassification, but ... yeah, Jontay’s reclassifying.
Martin says he plans on having 16 guys on the #Mizzou team (including walk-ons), but has 15 now.

Martin says he was excited for Jeremiah Tilmon's commitment because of his talent and that he fills a need (the East STL part was a bonus).

This is a bit of a surprise considering that, in nine seasons as a head coach, Martin has only once had a team that ranked higher than 200th in Ken Pomeroy’s tempo measure.
Odds and ends
Martin says Mitchell Smith is still rehabbing and can only jog on the floor right now.

Martin says he expects Kassius Robertson's shooting percentages to go up since he'll be more catch-and-shoot. Loves his shooting touch.

Better than the 41 percent that Robertson shot from 3-point range last year? Dang.
Martin says C.J. Roberts is an aggressive scorer and picking whether he plays PG or SG doesn't matter. Just as long as he can succeed.

The PG and SG positions will be pretty blurry at times this coming season.
Nice try, Mark
