Moe Harkless

Im not a SU fan ,but I have to give them credit, they are the most consistantly successfull BE program since inception of the BE.

Getting back on topic, i would like to see more isolations for mo.  he's proven he can deliver.  plus, i wouldn't mind seeing some 2-man action between him and DLo.  Mo in the low post with DLo ready for a shot.  can't double team both.

Should be interesting to see how well we can utilize Moe against Syracuse.   They won't be in Man like Duke was, and we've had difficulty getting him good looks against the zone. 

Don't see him going off on Saturday like he did this past weekend.  But hopefully I'm wrong. 

does anyone know if Mo is part Puerto Rican?  thought i heard somewhere he has some latino blood.  could help with the couple of latino players we're recruiting.

Looking at these names, I take Harkless at #5 after Barnes. NBA picks ar made on potential, he has a boatload of that. Personally I think hes gone

Where did you hear that? Whoever it was must know him well because very few people know that. My Neighbors son here in Conn went to prep with him and he rarely discussed it but as far as I know he is Borinquen. 

Persanally I think he stays another year. The fact that he is latino was mentioned here or redmen.com, it was news to me.

I have not registered with redmen yet but just curious, who mentioned it?

If I try to be objective, I can see 10-13 names that would probably be taken ahead of Moe.   Don't see any way he can crack the top 10 this year, next year I think he has a great shot to.  For that reason alone I think he comes back.  But that's just my opinion.

since he's blowing up, "boricua ballers" has been talking about him a ton.  plus, it appears his circle of friends is latino skewed.  mo seems to have an affinity to the latin culture.

Mo appears to be an NBA talent no doubt.  That said when the experts talk about NBA potential they often say the scouts/gms are looking for that one amazing skill/attribute a player might have to differentiate himself from a crowd of great atheletes/ballers.  It could be size for his position, range on his shot, speed, footwork, boards, blocking shots, handle, defense.  They'll get enamored with that one thing over players who present more well rounded games but don't stand out in any one discipline.  I'm honestly asking at this point what would be Moe's stand out skill.  I'm not astute enough to pick up on that.  He's really really good at a lot of things.  What, however, will be his great talent, his calling card, to justify a high pick this year?  Your thoughts people?

Two (Wright, Nuri) of WASJU's last 3 favorite players left the program early. Harkless would make 3 of last 4. Maybe I should declare Greene or Stith as my favorite player.

Classy

 Favorite player Nuri?   Thats funny. 9 games... your easy.

How do you all think Moe compares to Kevin Jones?  Curious to hear your thoughts.

Kevin Jones is not an NBA player. I think those 2 inches and longer wingspan make a big difference.

Both listed at 6'8.  Granted Jones at 260 and Moe at 180.  Jones is a rebounding machine as Moe is.  Jones can knock down the 3 as well.

Imo,difference is Jones has hit his ceiling. Not criticizing, he has a spot in NBA somewhere
