Recruiting Class of 2019

[MikeH]

Iowa signed a 3 star point guard from NYC for 2019, so they could be out on Greenlee.

I think this is interesting.

Drew Valentine just followed Chance Moore on Twitter. Moore is a 6'7" 2/3 freshman who transferred from Wichita State at the end of the fall semester. He played prep ball at Sunrise Christian and was a 3 star prospect on Rivals, 4 star ESPN.

The speculation on the Shockernet message board was that he left because of lack of playing time.
If Moore enrolls at a D1 school for next semester he would become eligible next spring semester and have 2 1/2 years eligibility remaining.
So if this is his plan he's going to have to sign soon. He may also be considering going the junior college route as a bunch of juco coaches have recently followed him on Twitter.
Moore seems to fit the profile of a Moser recruit in that he he can play multiple positions, put the ball on the floor and shoot from range. There have been some questions raised about his maturity and defense.
I guess we will find out soon enough if the Ramblers plan to pursue him.

Interesting! I’d be surprised if we offered tho. Transferring after a handful of games because of playtime doesn’t seem like someone who’d have the character and mental toughness Moser looks for.

Reminds me of Avery who had all the talent in the world but couldn’t crack the lineup.

Could just be an instance where the player has a poor relationship with the HC. He was recruited by a coach who has since left the program and Greg Marshal doesn't have the best reputation in the world...

Bujdoso probably knows him pretty well then. Hopefully that Sunrise Christian connection keeps getting stronger

Paxson Wojcik and LaLumiere took down the #1 high school team last night. I’m trying to find a bow score, but for now enjoy this sweet assist of his: https://twitter.com/ballertv/status/107 ... 21056?s=21

Everything about Wojcik’s game reminds me about Ben Richardson. Great shooter from range, hard nosed defender, but more than anything he’s got a high b-ball IQ and a similar swagger and instensity; he doesn’t hunt points but instead hunts team plays.

[Blers]

Another name to keep an eye on... 6’6 wing Jeremiah Davenport out of Hargrave academy. Davenport decommitted from wright state for a post grad year and is an excellent shooter; sounds like we’re getting involved. Like our other outstanding offers we are priotizing kids who can SHOOT.

I am at Jack Tosh Tourney at York watching Tom Welch and Naperville North play Sandberg. At half Welch has 18 points and Naperville leads 24-13. Missed first 5 minutes when Tommy scored 9. Since then watched him score on a couple dunks, a couple mid range pull up jumpers and a beautiful full court drive where he did a Pete Maravich 360° behind the back spin ending in a two handed dunk. I'm sure this will wind up on YouTube.
On defense Naperville played a lot of passive zone so hard to tell. Does seem to have nose for the ball. Not super aggressive rebounding.

[swellafelon]

Game over. Naperville survives 45-42. Welch with 30.

Naperville is basicly Welch and a bunch of guys who look like they were recruited from the chess club. This partly explains his big scoring average this season.

Tommy"s offensive game looks terrific. He can score from all levels. Good ball handler. Nice form on his jumper. Sets screens willingly. Much more of a small forward than a power forward though. Doesn't seem like he likes to mix it up that much underneath.

All in all I like what I saw a lot, but I didn't see him play any man to man defense so I'd have to give him an Incomplete there.
