Willie Moore - 2012 CG

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Moore will apparently be making a visit to Wichita State sometime soon.

He is a 6'3 CG from Aiken High in Cincinnati, OH, Willie is capable of playing either guard position, can shoot with accuracy to 20', aand plays the passing lanes well. He is still struggling with decision making on passes and defending on the ball.

This brief breaks it down a little finer ...


For boys’ basketball, 6-foot-4 guard Willie Moore is deciding between Wichita State, Kent State and Cleveland State. His other two finalists will be from James Madison, Akron, Ohio University or Miami University.

He is still struggling with decision making on passes and defending on the ball.

The way I read that is that he turns the ball over, holds on to it when there is a pass for an assist, and needs work on his defense.

We've had few of those lately and none of them have finished their college careers at WSU.

The "still struggling" is most concerning. Downtown, where did you get this info?

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

This was pre summer feedback from ESPN and other sources.

Rumor is he quietly shot extremely well from deep during the summer and that started to spark more interest. With FVV we dont have a need for a primary ball handler, and if he can stroke it it will keep defenses from collapsing on his drives.

I think he has continued to mature and sounds like a David Kyles type player.

Brian Snow's comments about Moore in the summer of 2010:



"William Moore - This 2012 guard isn't the most productive right now, but boy is he talented. He is athletic, quick, plays multiple positions, and is capable of really scoring. He needs to translate that talent into consistent production all the time, but Moore shows flashes that keep the coaches in attendance excited"

thats how i feel about DK so much talent but cant put it all together

[ShockRef]

Had a game last year with this kid and... we can do better.

Their team was over matched and got popped by 15.

He was a decent player, but the team was not very disciplined and he didn't exactly take over and provide any leadership.

Not sure where the interest is coming from WSU, but they are much more competent in identifying and evaluating talent than Yours Truly. 8)

Dayton and Duquesne are "surprise" entries to his visit list. Kent State is off the list.

There is a Willie Moore from Aiken South Carolina. are you sure it is not him

Why are we recruiting mostly guards?

I would think we should be pretty good for awhile with VanVleet, Cotton, Baker, Wessel, Arstead, and Williams.

[wushock]

I agree we dont need guards and if we are recruiting one I would rather have they guard from Sunrise

[shockmonster]

Not sure but I don't think that Ellis, Early, Thurman, or Hawkins are guards. I don't know how many scholarships we have left to give, but I don't think that any of the players you mentioned are proven commodities. I would add that I don't know if we have any proven front line commodities either, so I would surmise that we are recruiting forwards and guards with an eye out for the best players we can get.
