Insider thoughts? Know we pushed in the off-season but agree with other that the interest didn’t seem mutual.
Either way we’ve got scholarships open and a need for more PG depth.

I guess the uncertainty around Clark's status is dissipating.

What's everyone think of Moretti? I know the staff loved him, and it seems he's not looking to be an alpha scoring machine. I hope he's at least a decent outside shooter. We certainly need a facilitator, but we desperately need more outside shooting threats to keep defenses honest.

He's a good shooter. How good, at this level, is unknown, obviously. When I did due diligence on him, I got excited (spare the jokes, please).
Love that we keep stacking talent. Love that we kept a ride open.

Sounds like he’ll enroll early

His brother Davide and TSJ were teammates at Texas Tech.
Their father is a longtime coach and former player in the pro ranks in Italy.
Davide came up through the youth system in Italy, but Niccolo is currently in Australia and was in Florida before that? Anyone know the story?
I thought someone had described him as a "controlled Curbelo" at one time.

Obviously, a position of need moving forward. His brother was a heck of a player, hopefully he can get to similar level. (40% 3pt: 90+% FT)
I love some of those bounce passes in the video above. Looks a bit like Tyler Kolek out there.
Benvenuto, Niccolo!

Niccolo Moretti, NBA Global Academy , Point Guard
Niccolo Moretti is a Point Guard from Australia, AUST.

Not a lot of info. Certainly seems to be an under the radar guy, but he did have a USC offer in addition to Illinois.
Looks like a pretty good distributor, but I'm not so sure he's got the handles.
Is this a top 100 type guy?

Would be nice to have a Tony Parker-esque lead guard for the next 4 years
(and the success he helped usher)

Heard he loved the fact that we have an Olive Garden in town and that was the deciding factor.
