?? No one came after Morez.Whoever came after Morez at the end of the last thread, he’s a big man. If the st Rita PG’s and other guards/wings can’t get him the ball, that’s not Morez’s fault. But it certainly would be The fault of Nojus. You expect Morez to bring the ball up?
With all due respect, this is what FL_8905 posted. It could be interpreted as coming after MJ:?? No one came after Morez.
Wonder if coaches are saying why risk it in today's basketball? If he performs well at a mid-major, I'll go after him in the transfer portal the following year when he leaves.On the comments on Nojus and KJ in last thread …
As someone who has known KJ since he was like 5 … I’m a little biased … But now that he’s putting up the numbers I always knew he was capable of, I have to say … These HM coaches infuriate me … All they ever talk about is freaking shooting … We need shooting … Blah, Blah, Blah … Kid goes out and shoots 40% from 3 and they just kick the tires still … I don’t understand it … He’s a full qualifier as well … Grades aren’t an issue … If he can shoot that well consistently … He can be on my roster any day … But they’ll let him go mid major … Then get him as an upper classmen I’m sure …
Sean Miller likes KJ a lot … Brad likes him … Fran likes him … Izzo likes him … But no one likes enough to offer yet …
As for Nojus … For many reasons … I’m glad we backed off … TJ can have him … And if he’s the next Podz then so be it … But I stand by the decision to back off …
And this is a big part of why there are upsets in March. Mid-majors with great shooters can get hot against P5 school's with average shooters who go cold.On the comments on Nojus and KJ in last thread …

I think the CC stands for Corpus Christie, not Community College. He's already a D1 player.Andre feliz 2.0 ?

For most of the EYBL and Peach Jam this spring and summer, Nojus was the clear #2 player. Lately, though, KJ"s been out- playing him, especially that last game.On the comments on Nojus and KJ in last thread …

Insiders, think we’ll give this one a look? I’ve never watched him, but it sure seems like a PG from Springfield who scores efficiently, averages 5.4 assists, was the DPOY of his conference and doesn’t Jack it up from deep (34.3% on 1.1 attempts per game) might be a good fit.Originally From Springfield, IL.

I remember the last player we passed on from Springfield; believe he's still in the League.Insiders, think we’ll give this one a look?

Led the conference in steals, assists and assist-turnover ratio.
Edit: worth noting he’s coming off a knee injury, but seems like someone who passes well, scores efficiently and defends at a high level would sure be worth taking a shot on.. word is his knee should be 100% by December
always appreciate your thoughts and feedback ThanksOn the comments on Nojus and KJ in last thread …

Watched a bit of film. He’s a good ball-handler who’s patient and poised, sees the floor well. Crafty finisher who’s stronger than he looks — absorbs contact well despite his 170-pound frame.Insiders, think we’ll give this one a look?

we didn't pass on Iggy. We chose McBride too soon. They didn't get along and wouldn't be going to the same school. McBride was the #1 player in his class 8th grade or Fr year. Something like that. Ended up in the 30s I believe.I remember the last player we passed on from Springfield; believe he's still in the League.
So my hopes will get destroyed by the 4th pg originally from Illinois who either passes on us or we mysteriously don't pursue? I can't believe I'm gonna say this... I'm going back to workOriginally From Springfield, IL. Went to Southeast
Let the haunting begin. . .I remember the last player we passed on from Springfield; believe he's still in the League.
Because he can't play everyone's man on defense and he damn sure can't pass the ball to himself!!With all due respect, this is what FL_8905 posted. It could be interpreted as coming after MJ:
"That's not a accurate way to describe what happened at St. Rita. Bad coaching and no point guard. (Why isn't the narrative that Morez Johnson, the best player, couldn't lead the team to more wins with a supporting cast of DI prospects?)"
Iggy performed terribly every time Self was in the building watching during recruitment and had trepidations. Iggy took Arkansas offer but then Nolan left. Self again went to talk to Iggy and said that he “wasn’t going to take no for an answer “ but the damage was already donewe didn't pass on Iggy. We chose McBride too soon. They didn't get along and wouldn't be going to the same school. McBride was the #1 player in his class 8th grade or Fr year. Something like that. Ended up in the 30s I believe.
