Excellent! ! !

Awesome news!!!

Bijan gets it! Moser is the kind of coach most kids would love to play for. I’m disappointed as well as baffled why any player, current or recruit coming in, would not be willing to at least give him a chance. Nothing about that makes sense to me!

I also saw a welcome tweet from Jalen Hill's dad on a "Welcome Coash Moser" tweet that kind of had me thinking he'll be sticking too.

More good news! I’ve got a feeling the cream will rise to the top when the transition to a new coach is over. It will be interesting to see who is left at the end?

Maybe they think they were in the process of being passed over by the past staff and even with a new staff that the same writing is on the wall.

Could be. I’m a firm believer in recruiting over players when their progress stalls out. Tough love is not always easy, but you’re doing everyone, including the player, a favor by making that decision.

Really big! You’re up next CJ!

He is who I was worried about. Dad shared a tweet about possible UNLV transfers.

Just from reading your stuff and making the connections, Hill was obviously a candidate to land at UNLV...so seeing the tweet had me at least optimistic, if nothing else.

He greeted porter at the practice gym yesterday. Made me feel better!

If we can somehow get Harkless and Gibson to stay, I think we can field a pretty competitive team next year. Have to pick up another guard and a couple of forwards, but we'll have a very solid core.

Harkless
Gibson
Hill
O'Garro
Bijan
Noland
Issanza

Need 2 starters and post depth, and we'll be okay year 1.

I’m thinking Cortez is the only one with good enough handles to bring the ball up court vs any kind of pressure ....

You're underrating Elijah Harkless in that regard.

And Nolan. Also Hill is solid & smart for a forward.

 

[AdaSooner]

My pick to back up the point is Noland. He has well above average handles and an uncanny ability to drive through traffic.

Jalen should thrive in Moser's system. He was getting better quickly with LK.
Glad Bijan is sticking with it.
I bet most guys come back and those that don't will be replaced with transfers who are as good or better than them.
Davion should also come back. He won't get drafted and it's hard to imagine some lower league overseas will be as much fun for him. I know it is money but not life changing money.

Harkless is a special kind of glue guy. I don't think we'll be able to replace him unless we're damn lucky. Hope he stays.

Oh I’m not underestimate him, Harkless is a tough guy, a rebounder, a defender, a passer, a man guy that can score some points, but he is not a ball handler ...
