How is St. Johns beating us out on this guy?

Being from NYC may have something to do with it...

[RealChiliWarrior]

It's the Red Storm mascot.

Ahhh gotcha.  Didn't realize he was a NYC guy.

Darn, you beat me to this.  Their new mascot is sweet!  Perhaps the lure of getting to hang out with the new mascot pushed it over the top for the Johnnies.

In that case, he's already made his decision.. it's obviously gonna be Pitt.  I remember hearing from some announcers that everyone in NYC goes there by de facto law.

Typical Hayward, all he does is post negative stuff

Call me crazy... but all the signs pointed to him really liking MU. Maybe we backed off? Almost wonder if Buzz knows something we don't about another guard target...

What signs...because he wore MU shorts in an interview, and said he liked Buzz? Really impossible to know what the kid was thinking about MU.

Moore is not a guard, but I get what you are saying...I have been hoping the same thing ever since Buzz backed off of Trae Golden, Ricky Scott, and Brandon Young committed to DePaul.  I hope these 3 know something that we dont (or that just hasnt been made official).

The shorts don't mean anything... but he had been very complimentary of Buzz, and mentioned MU first in the interview I saw. I figured there was more than just a passing interest, but I must have been reading too much into it.

No coach in their right mind would say no to taking both Blue and Moore. Highly, highly doubt if Moore said he wanted to come to MU, Buzz would say "ummm, not sure since we've got this Blue kid....."

We just weren't an attractive enough option to still be considered for Moore.

One of our problems is the anchor class recruiting method because between those classes (once every 4 years) recruiting is relatively lean-------recruits just don't see much immediate PT behind established vets who could be in place for years.

One problem.  Buzz used Juco's to balance the classes. We'll have plenty of playing time by the time this year's class reaches their sophomore year.

For anyone recruited this year, only six players on the current roster will still be around by the time the newbies are sophs.

Your statement that our roster is "filled with established vets who could be in place for years" doesn't reflect reality.

I would hope Buzz is not pinning all his hopes on Blue.

Don't let facts get in the way of a strong belief.

Murf has established his belief, and nothing is going to knock him off of that.
