Announcers are already having a lovefest with cam boozer
Burger boys getting ready to scrimmage on espnu

Duke has a monopoly on the college basketball world from top to bottom it's absolutely crazy.
Moreno has looked good. Most of the time in these games the guards are jacking up shots and not passing to the post but he has been hitting the boards and has a put back or 2. Also reached back and caught a lob that was thrown behind him with one hand and threw it down.
Moreno should be top 15 ranked player in his class
Moreno offensive rebounds makes me happy
With all due respect to BG, Moreno is good enough to replace him no problem. He’s also got it clicking upstairs which isn’t a given with these prospects.
He has great instinct and feel for the game, in sharp comparison with Garrison
He just needs to be stronger
Moreno was best player on the floor
and that was despite the fact he had missed the previous 2 practices due to playing in the state tournament.
The way Moreno gets low and wide to block out impressed the heck out of me during his high school run. Especially for a young guy who could easily have gotten by with just standing around the rim and relying on his size.
Not watching but sounds promising. There’s something to be said for someone who steps up when the competition level steps up.
It is laughable that some users say Moreno can only compete against 6-5 players in the state
I will not even be surprised if he is good enough to be starter next year

BG iq is questionable…. I would focus on Moreno if I was Pope.
Moreno just needs to be stronger, needs to be mentally tough
He has some things that can not be taught
Very good feel and instinct for the game, high basketball iq
He has to see who will leave and stay in Duke
I think if Duke has any room for him, he will commit very soon.
Do not think LOU is surefire #2...
I thinks it between Duke, Louisville and Arkansas being a dark horse.
If moreno is 6-11 or 7-0 or 7-1 in shoes?
These will make much difference
7-1 is on another level...

No time for Moreno to rest either. He just played two games on Saturday to win the State Championship Then had to bolt town for this.
Did you hear Cam is just 17
Can Moreno step out and hit the 3? Can he hit anything outside of 8-10 feet for that matter? That's where BG has him. I think there's room for both to be on the floor at the same time if we need to go big. BG can play the 4.
I saw him drive to the free throw line and draw Moreno's defender to him. Instead of passing to a wide open Moreno on the block for an easy dunk he turned and kicked it out to his brother on the perimeter. Brotherly love I guess.
No but I heard he might be the greatest 4 year hs player in the history of basketball and his brother the greatest passer
I said this earlier. Flagg nonsense about a second season, though clearly is a farce, could cause hesitation in Ament as well as other transfers.
They also have some other guys who have to make a decision to stay, go pro or transfer like Evans. I think Ament wants to go to Duke but has been told to wait until these guys make their final decision. Otherwise, why wait this long?
A quick search of their yearly stats shows he was 3-11 from 3 point range this season. So technically he did hit 3's in high school but he neither took nor hit many at all.

Moreno will be a big time post player I don't want him jacking 3s
While most everything about Moreno as a Center prosect is promising, his perimeter shot form is just not good for consistency. His shots are on-line, and he has follow through, but he generally needs to catch nothing but net. His shot more often comes off the interior of the back rim due to his relative low arc. He has that form you see sometimes where a guy cocks the shot all the way behind his head and it just doesn't lend itself to any consistency. And he shoots his FTs with that form as well, but he does ok with that (I suspect he'll likely always be mid to upper 60s with FTs).
Interestingly, the form on his shots in the lane out to just within the FT line are different and looks good.
BG shot 53% from the stripe and 30% on predominantly wide open 3s
If Pope is promising him more opportunities, he must think BG is capable of making them at a better rate, and says to me he's trying to make him into more of a stretch 5/4 type.
