'08 OH SG Deven Moore - James Madison Signee

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

I like Moore and I like his leadership qualities........could be a good fit down the road....

The other thing is that we are not really locked in on any 09' prospects, and this would get us one for that class...

This would be the only scholarship we would give up to a "backcourt" player in 09. We would have to save our other one or two schollies for some big guys so Moore hopefully will be special.

I agree...We would go with one on the wing and would need a big guy for sure...

Then the thing is to get the 4 guys in 10' we have already we would need Buford to be gone by his junior year, which I truly believe that he will be for sure, and for us to be able to ink a fifth player, like maybe Payne who I am really starting to like we would have to have Turner leave early or someone else...

I just got done watching the Northland/West South game and I really like Moore's game. He can create, has great length, and really has a solid jumper, and nice floater in the lane...He is still skinny and a year in prep school could really help that...But we could still really use two big guys in the 09' class, because all we are going to have coming back is Dallas and Madsen...

Seems to be some confusion if he does have a "conditional offer".......

Dispatch

At the high school Division I-II all-star game at Capital University this week, Moore scored 7 points and dished 8 assists in a 104-96 win.

Consensus in the in the area seems to be that he is going to prep school.

Does he still have a "conditional offer" from Ohio State because with the addition of the two JUCOs, our scholarships will be limited next year and I think we will be looking for big men.

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

the "conditional offer" has been questioned by many......I am sure if he goes to prep school and progresses.....the staff will take a hard look.....I could see him maturing with a year in prep school and then being ready for a mid-major school....

I agree...I do believe he can play here...Just needs a year in the weight room and some seasoning, and work on his grades...

I do not think he will be playing here at Ohio State. We do not have room for him and OBJ did say mid-major.

Unless I hear further on the conditional offer I don't think he will be here either, but I do think he could be a contributor here...

[jimotis4heisman]

no doubt its a conditional offer. what are the conditions is always the question...

He signed with James Madison yesterday. Will be playing this year.
