You would argue just about anything wouldn't you.

Wasn't my point at all, as I said just correcting that Moore was a 3* not a 2*.

No not at all, just things that aren't true. You said people on here expecting every player to play right away isn't practical, and I was simply stating that from reactions on this board I don't think many at all are expecting Reese to come in and play right away.

Not that it means anything or that I really believe Griffith but he was saying he would have been a four or five star if he had of played for a different team.

I like any excuse to be excited about our team. LOL

Would've helped playing the whole year also. Missing 1/2 your senior season can really dampen the recruitment.

This was a relatively disappointing class when compared to what we've been spoiled with the last five years...obviously. I'd be more than happy with the JUCO having a career similar to that of a Melvin Goins - a productive role player either coming off the bench or possibly even starting a portion of the season his first year or two (not sure if he has three years or only two), and then being a very solid contributor his final year. Then, have either one of the two freshmen have a similar career path culminating with consistent, reliable play in their final two years. That'd be good enough for me. No stars, just solid pieces. The '13 class is when we need the big guns.

First, I think you understood that "every player" was simply an expression but chose to argue it any way. If I want people to pick apart every post, down to word choice, verb usage, and proper punctuation I will go to the football boards.

Second, there is as much reason to expect Reese to play as Moore. Both are unheralded 3* recruits with very few other offers that Martin gave scholarships to and has said good things about.

That is not true at all.....if you just look at the stars instead of the individual players....there have been a lot of positive things said about Moore outside our own program.

Moore was in front of enough coaches to get offers if he was really a 4 or 5 star guy. Rivals.com Basketball Recruiting - Hoop Mountain: Top 10 performers And even if he should have been a 4 star guy, being a 4 star guy doesn't mean significant playing time during their Freshman year (Woolridge, Golden, McRae).

And I understand being excited about next season, I am too.

Please compare the offer list for Moore and Reese.

In response to expecting him to contribute...Josh was a 3* and played 15 minutes a game for us just last year.

I see that a lot of people expect Moore to play PG. My question: is his ball handling good enough to compensate for being so tall? Seems like he'd have problems getting the ball stripped against smaller defenders, especially if he's being faced guarded or is trying to break a press. Even saw some of that in his highlight film. He gets a little sloppy with the ball in tight coverage.

He played Some PG in school and is recruited as a combo. CCM expects him to be able to handle the point. He can't be any worse than our back up options last year, and he has the benefit of actually playing PG in HS.

If either one of the two freshman can play defense like Richardson did last year, they'll see PT and contribute. That's what got Richardson on the court. He has a decent mid-range game, and got our offense going in a couple games with some timely shots, but defense was his strong point.

I don't think Moore will be that type of defender, probably solid, but Richardson was exceptional for a defender. However, he plays a position that isn't strong, combo guard. CCM loves versatility and at 6'5" and being able to play the point he brings lots of versatility to the court.

Of course most of those guys on that list were four and five starsand if you click on one of the links, rivals calls him one of the most underrated players in Georgia....I don't expect a lot from him this yr but I am happy to see more and more people talk about what a find he may be.
