Former Ill. St. PG Nick Moore Commits to SMU

[BigT3x]

Hey Big - we would REALLY rather you leave if someone is leaving.

Yeah, seriously. BigT3x has attacked people in what seems like 50% of his posts. Hoopmanx brings value to the board

Oh yeah? Well... well... I'm... I'm gonna go to Rivals! After a few more posts... you know...

You guys are on notice!

Josiah hasn't been admitted and might not be. Guess what, that's why we took Moore, not b/c we want two PGs, one very small, the exact same year, w/the same eligibility. That's what you call a hedge, my man. We have offers out to every elite PG in '14, w/Mudiaye being the #1 prority for us in the entire class. We didnt even decide to bring Moore in to visit until almost 6 weeks after he declared he was leaving ISU, and we had Jank as an in? That's a reaction to Turner and a hedge against admissions and/or Josiah's inability to straighten up.

Good call.

Nick is probably pretty happy about this news- as of now he is the only PG on the roster for 2013 (I am not convinced Manuel is a PG)

Nick Russell (K-State transfer) is a PG and will be a senior in 2013...

I think Russell is mostly going to play the 2 for us...

nick will play point - we will need three on the roster

hoop - would love your break down on this guy. If it was doh recruiting him i would feel like he was undersized - but obviously if Illinois wanted him and this staff is after him there is something more there.

Nic is a baller. Pretty much lead ISU down the stretch. I love the pick-up, b/c he's a proven commodity w/lots of eligibility. Has a huge chip on his shoulder, and likes the big shot. If you already have Josiah/Manuel/Head/Bernardi/Uche, you don't need length from Moore, just play-making. He'll give us that.

Lets get Goodman!

Nice call, absolutely correct so far (except this season) AND he spelled his name right.

[gostangs]

that reminds me - whatever happened to Bernardi? His shot would be handy right now for sure.

most definitely

Think of this though, in 2012, at one point, people were imagining a possible starting lineup of Josiah Turner, Ryan Manuel, Crandall Head, Brian Bernardi and Uche Ofoegbu with Savon Goodman possibly added in the mix and an outside shot at the Harrison twins...shows how little we've really known and how much things have changed in the last few years since Larry got this thing rolling...still so thankful for where we are now, let's go undefeated into conference play

Playing for Hofstra

[Treadway21]

I wish he had stayed. When could definitely use a pure shooter to go along with Frazier. His shoot was sweet.

This is a nice get but dear lord we need some bigs

Wouldn't trade for nic, no matter the current problems, but who would have thought after last year and Yannick in the games the second part would be relevant two years later.
