He's really impacting the game in a variety of ways. He had an offensive rebound that he turned into a score +1 (and hit the FT). Then next time down he made the right play and kicked out to a teammate in the corner when his defender sagged down, and the teammate hit a 3. Those two sequences really highlighted his complete game for me.

And he sets a great high screen on p&r with either Nojus or K.J.
Will Morez be the next Ayo?
if it’s true that cole wanted to come here i would have definitely took a chance on this kid
Don't know, but think if he were to stay 3-4 yrs we'll comparing recruits to Morez
KJ is shooting like 40% from 3 … That’s green light territory if you ask me …
He damn sure didn't hit 40% today!! They collapsed on MJ everytime the ball hit his hands. The guards couldn't hit the broad side of the barn. The New York team had at least four kids as tall or taller than MJ. There size eventually wore Meanstreets down
The bench wasn’t too effective either,every time they subbed out the starters they seems to give up the lead.
Did Nojus play? Maybe I have the wrong team
No because we won’t be in the cellar when he gets here lol
Hit a few clutch shots, but didn't have one of his better games. Also, didn't have much luck guarding Dylan Harper.

He played like he was scared to death out there today
Yes, Steve Pikiell
As you can tell from the lack of a final score, Mean Streets was eliminated by New York Renaissance.
Still an amazing showcase for Morez Johnson who should continue to ascend the rankings.

What was his statline?
Actually, he did - 4-10 on 3s today, scored 20 points. The rest of the team went 2-12.
Cole Certa got a scholarship offer from Illinois basketball, likes his fit in Big Ten
Bloomington Central Catholic guard Cole Certa is a top rated high school player in Illinois, and he received an offer from the Illini this month.
If you are commenting on my insider view of collectives, this is not entirely true. I did not say we have a bottomless pit of money to draw upon. I said that how Guardians and ICON go about their business is seen as one of the industry leaders. We are not behind the 8 ball in the NIL era because of the collectives. When it is funded even better, we have the right people leading this stuff.

LOL, very accurate! I've been an Illini fan for 50 years, for my lifetime we've been a basketball program with a few sparks in football. I still watch and root for our Illini in football. I guess the difference for me is if I can't catch the game live, I'll record and watch basketball games but not football (if they win).
