I'm hearing the charter plane from GSO to Champlain last week was Biff and his bags of money for the family.
It's not over until it's over !
Can't read too much into tea leaves. When Nolley committed to VT I saw that as confirmation that Ayo was not headed to UI.
Why was Biff flying to New York state? Smells like fake news to me.
Wendell Moore has not been short of college interest or offers. The 6-foot-5 wing sports elite length, has improved his ball skills and is extremely versatile on the court. Born and raised in North Carolina, Moore has been a priority for some of the best programs in the region ever since he first stepped foot onto a high school playing floor.
Wake Forest, located less than a two-hour drive from his home, has made Moore a priority. Danny Manning has not been afraid to go after highly-ranked prospects and has landed top-50 recruits in consecutive recruiting classes. However, landing Moore would be Manning’s biggest recruiting coup to date because of the stiff competition that he is facing from the other in-state programs.
Duke just offered Moore two weeks ago and the Blue Devils, while they still have some time to go before they finish out their 2018 class, would love nothing more than to lock down the top-50 junior.
North Carolina may arguably be the best program in America at constantly nailing down commitments from prospects out of the younger classes. The Tar Heels have already notched the verbal commitment of four-star 2019 guard Jeremiah Francis and there has been a growing sentiment that they could do just the same with Moore.
Kansas just offered, and Maryland, NC State and several others continue to pursue him, but the Tar Heels remain the favorite for Moore's commitment. That pledge that could happen a bit earlier than expected, though the recent offer from Duke and the continued pursuance of Wake Forest could slow things down some.
Huh? Then why would he hold a public commitment announcement?
Nolley committed to VT before Ayo announced (but after he jilted GT).
i know what the posters somewhat in the know have to say on this topic and it has been argued ad naseum, but i'd like to state one more time after the draftexpress piece that crawford's nba draft stock is really low now. it's worse that i expected and probably what he's worth. problem is these drafts are getting so deep. he isn't getting buzz from major outlets that are tapped in. and he had an already very good year as a soph. he could have a huge year and i'm sure that is his aspiration and it's entirely possible he's gets drafted after this year. but is absolutely insane that it's become the default position that he's gone. i'd hope he'd choose to finish at wake instead of go play in europe early, not that i would judge him for it but it's not the same as dinos.
Leaving to play European ball early seems kind of dumb and uncommon. How many people have done that? Dinos is an exception because he went to play back at home.
Plenty of juniors with low stock declare early.
Huh? Then why would he hold a public commitment announcement?
Well if 137 college players leave early, they know they can't all make it to the NBA.
He’s at least getting buzz for all-ACC (sometimes first team)... So that’s something.
We’ll see what happens, but I’m confident Danny will give him good advice. If his NBA fallback is playing PG for us next season, I’d be more than ok with that. Seems like that’d be a better springboard into the pros than hoping to make a NBA roster undrafted.
