[UpstateSM]

Very much cool with one of our guys essentially going to work like a pro for a year while keeping his eligibility

Agreed, so long as Elijah chooses the scholarship option.

Yeah, could be cool seeing Elijah in OTE for a year, although I was looking forward to him and I. Jackson doing great things in NYC for CH this coming season.

Yeah, but playing in NYC isn't what it used to be. He will be playing pretty much semi-pro for OTE. This kid is getting so good. If/when we land Bethea, we will have two guards that are ready to fill the shoes of Judah and JJ and keep this thing moving in the right direction. Freeman is great, too. That will be one hell of a class.

All good points and like I said, it would be cool to see Elijah in OTE!

This kid gets to his spots and has a really quick release. He’s a shooting machine. He might be the most underrated kid in his class.

Cool video package for a return to OSL...

Happy for Elijah!

Moore shows off jumper, winner’s mentality in front of SU coaches: ‘That’s what they want’ (video)

I love that the full staff makes a habit of watching the commits. Also JB checks in via phone. You never know when someone like Pitino is going to call and offer a bag, verbal commitment notwithstanding.

Didn’t Anthony transfer to Lutheran too? They are loaded with guards.

Long Island Lutheran is where Kiyan Anthony plays. Moore is now playing for Our Savior Lutheran.

Long Island Lutheran is where Kiyan Anthony plays. Moore is now playing for Our Savior Lutheran.

I know it’s not PC, but Lutherans all look alike to me.

Correct. Nigel James, who will OV to SU in mid-September, is with Kiyan at LuHi. Top five team.

Not just a shooter...

Not just a shooter...

Soooo much to love about this kid!

When you start with a plus athlete, who is already a lethal shooter, and then start adding in ball & driving skills - the sky’s the limit!!

He is still woefully underrated.
But that’s fine, less worries about a potential late poach that way.

Choppa, Donnie, and either:
portal PG
and/or
Chance or Q as PG, and ‘24 is looking like another really solid Cuse roster.

Great. Post. And I agree, Choppa has definitely evolved his game. Still lethal from deep, but facilitating, rebounding, playmaking, etc. Scouts all say he's gotten much more active in those areas, too. Totally underrated - not in top 100 per ESPN, nor top 125 per Made Hoops. Wrote about that lately, and Biancardi called me out, I asked him why Elijah wasn't in the top 100 - crickets. He's top 50, IMO.

An answer for our perimeter issues?

Yep but also has expanded his game quite a bit beyond shooting.
