Jontay Porter, the younger brother of prized 2017 forward Michael Porter Jr., committed to coach Lorenzo Romar and Washington on Sunday.
Jontay appears to already be working on getting his brother to commit to Romar, who is his Godfather.
“A little bit,” he told Scout when asked if he was working on getting his brother to go to Washington. “I slid in a couple of comments.”
Meantime, Michael Porter Jr. and Trae Young, his point guard on Mokan Elite, have discussed a package deal, with Duke, Washington and Virginia among those courting the duo.
