Ohhhh yeah that's not a good thing to say

Smith > Moore. Moore is a soft stretch 4 that doesn't want to play down low at all. If we had an open scholly for him then I would take a flyer but we don't and I don't think we will. Does he have potential? Yes he does but he also seems to have a sense of entitlement to go along with him being soft.

CAM in a columnist roundtable earlier today.  Here's the write-ups of the roundtable from R. Bozich and Doyel.

Give me the 4 star with the Villanova offer.

Four stars with a Nova offer...That was both Smith and Moore!

BTW: Moore's teammates don't get him the ball because they "don't know how good he is."

Smith's teammates?

On what he wants to show in his final high school season and his individual and team goals:

“As a player, I just want to get better at creating my own shot and being able to be counted on by my team to go get a basket or go make a big play. As a team, our goal is to win a state championship. That’s what I’m looking forward to.”

I love reading about how Archie wants to come in and have his team be a contender from day 1. Seeing him take the lofty expectations head on is great.

To be fair, based on the scores, Moore's teammates are probably complete and utter [emoji90]

I recall many scores in the 20/30's where Moore pretty much scored or assisted on everything lol

Nova never offered Moore.

Albers reports (I know --take it for whatever it's worth) RoJo is coming back. We expected this but it is great it is starting to become more official--at least as official as Albers can be. We get RoJo a little more consistent and he can be an elite defender and dependable scorer. I love the work Archie is putting in to keep the talent we have that already beat the National Champion. We will be competitive this next season. Like I posted earlier --looks like we are getting the band back together to make sweet music! Go Hoosiers!

Man I miss Mother Bears and Pizza Express.  It's been way to long.

I go back a little (perhaps a lot!) Further. I miss Funky's Pizza.

[Stromboli]

I was a Pizza Express guy.  I'd get the "Big Ten" for $8.88.  Large sausage pizza, breadsticks, and two drinks.  Eat half for dinner and the other half for lunch the next day.  I thought it became Hotbox Pizza?

Interesting to hear Archie say that Justin Smith is just 50/50, although maybe he was just being political.  Also interesting to hear him all but confirm that there won't be any transfers as far as he can tell.

He was definitely talking about Moore but he could have easily gotten the two players mixed up.

I think he was saying that the chances all 3 come back are 50/50, not Smith specifically, but maybe I didn't interpret that in the right way.

I'm jealous of that pizza deal though. The same thing at pizza x is $16 now [emoji20]

I fully expect Rojo to return but hearing Albers talk about his "sources" makes me laugh. He's IU's Chris Broussard

I want Smith and Moore. Both will be awesome pieces for the future. Rivals said Moore could make a top 50ish type jump a month or so ago, but there were concerns about the level of competition. If we went into 2018-2019 year with Davis( if he don't go pro), a senior Juwan, a great potential lead guard in DG, CuJo who has a h igh ceiling and add Smith and Moore to that mix and the 18 class just needs another guard or 2 and a wing and a big and it could be a big year.

I know some don't want Creaning to happen, but Gelon may not have a spot after this year if he doesn't show Archie something.

That is true but that's not an offer and that only means that they wanted a longer period of time to evaluate the kid.
