The Pioneers have their new boys basketball coach.

Harper Woods named Tajuan Porter to coach the program. He takes over for Brandon Jenkins whom stepped down in June.

Porter played College Basketball at Oregon and played his high school basketball at Detroit Renaissance. He came back to Michigan after his playing career was done.

Harper Woods has a ton of experience for Porter in Julian Young, DeAndre Williams, Marquise Kelly, Isiah Lewis, Quincy Dickinson, and Rozell Matthews coming back.

Porter is the younger brother of former Farmington boys coach Terrance Porter.

The Pioneers are in the Gold with Pontiac, Avondale, Royal Oak, and Ferndale University. They are at Eastpointe for their district with Harper Woods Chandler Park Academy, Detroit Denby Tech, Detroit Osborn, Eastpointe, and St. Clair Shores South Lake.

Thoughts

It's an interesting hire to say the least. Porter is going to have a real challenge ahead of him at Harper Woods. The Pioneers are going to be in a new league but he has experience which helps. He has played college basketball, he knows the terrain. Program strength is a huge issue for Harper Woods. If they can field three teams then program strength will be addressed.

It will be very interesting to see what happens with Harper Woods.
