Moses Ayegba Discussion, Part 2

[HoyaChris]

I watched the Hoyas' open practice before the VCU debacle. For the last half hour, Moses had one end of the court to himself, working with a coach on receiving entry passes with his back to the basket and making various moves going in either direction. Moses was working hard. All of the other players - including the walk-ons - were running drills at the other end of the court.

Moses is clearly a superior athlete. He is all arms and legs and muscle. He also has no neck which means that his height will understate his wingspan. And he runs the court extremely well for a big man.

When you take an athlete who is willing to work hard and coach him up there is tremendous upside. I think JT III spent last year waiting for everything to click and it didn't happen. I think there is a good chance that things click this year and Moses sees double figure minutes. By his senior year he will be a beast.

Thanks Chris.
Great report -- love your optimism.
Hopefully, he'll start to deliver on the court in games sooner, rather than later.
