Wow, is Matt Moyer dedicated to SU!

[iommi]

I can report that Matt is going to be hitting the road at 5am tomorrow morning to get to SU nice and early to greet what will hopefully be his future teammates. This is a huge weekend for our basketball team; nice to know we will have one of our best young recruiters on the hill to help seal the the deal.

Moyer is an absolute gem of a recruit. This kid loves our team and university. It will help immensely this weekend to have him up there. These kids (Thompson '16, Green '17, Diallo '17, Tucker '17) will feel much more comfortable with Moyer there.

Work your magic, Matt!

He has a large brain! The kid is awesome. He knows what he's doing.

NJ to Syracuse is a 4 to 5 hour drive. Hopefully no snow.

Waking up at 5 am, that is dedication.

He told me he'll be on the road at 5am, so waking up even earlier.

If he's leaving at 5, he'll most likely see Gillon too (i'm not sure if he's staying all weekend or just Friday)

Great character + great dedication + great bball skill = Awesome!

Thanks Matt!

 

[Crusty]

All hail Matt!

What I respect most about Matt is his willingness and desire to help attract the best talent possible here, even if that means increased competition to him. Not many guys who aren't already locked into a starting role would do this. That's about the best representation of teamwork that you will find. Keep it up, Matt!

I think it also says something about his confidence in his own game.

Great points by Nicknack and NYCorange. I can tell you that Matt very clearly values winning over everything when it comes to hoops. And yes, Matt certainly has a ton of confidence. He also knows we could be loaded next year but he will get some playing time if he earns it. Going up to SU for the early session will obviously help. He loves JB (and the whole staff) and desperately wants to help JB cut down the nets again before he bows out.

Yes, I think it's a big win with him there this weekend. I posted that in the prediction thread that Moyer is Fab Five vs Fab One.

Great thread. I think all is said and done, MM stays four years and like Lydon, becomes a huge chemistry and leadership guy, and he helps contribute to at least another FF or very close to that. Special person that fans will remember and praise his accomplishments. Year 1: give us fierce and dunk the ball, rebound and defend. His offensive game will progress each year.

Do work Magic Matt!

Check out the big brain on Matt! He's one smart ...

 

[cuseinseattle]

Matt Moyer seems like the kind of kid that other kids are just drawn to. Like he makes things look cool and makes other kids want to try them even if they aren't traditional or current. Like how he plays the violin. I remember one of the most popular kids when I was in high school was really into Bob Dylan and like all sorts of other people would buy Dylan albums and listen to them and everything because everyone liked this kid and wanted to be friends with him. This is in 1997. I seem Moyer as that type of kid.
