+xPer Verbalcommits, Drake has offered James Moors, a 6'9" PF from New Zealand. Moors has named his final three - Drake, Middle Tenn. State, and Southern Illinois.

If Moors is really 6'10" he is amazing. Even at 6'8" he would be really good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YavhYUwGZOgJust looking at his build, reminds me a bit of Casey with a quicker/cleaner release. Hard to tell from a highlight video if he has the eye for passing that Casey has though.

Also, why is no ones height ever listed accurately even when its on a D-1 roster? It's annoying. Honesty is the best policy people!

Looks to me like the best highlight video of any international guy we have ever tried to recruit. I thought he made some really nice passes, too, Tennis. As a matter of fact, it may be the best highlight video of any big man we have tried to recruit, both international and home grown. The last nice move by a big man video that I recall was the one where Hawley pulled off that reverse and attacked the bucket for a jam....remember that one? Anyway, for 6'10", the kid can handle the ball, looks like he plays some decent D, boards nicely, even had a nice little hook shot with a fairly soft touch. As a matter of fact, here is another "as a matter of fact,"..... I wonder why there aren't any more high majors after him. He doesn't seem slow, or at least not any slower than other 6'10" guys. The only down side I saw was that his release on his outside shot was kind of low, setting himself up to be blocked, but he seemed to be open enough on all of them. This is one international player that I think I can finally say that I like and has more upside than any other foreign recruit that we have ever gone after. I'd like to see him at Drake. To me, it looks like the kid can play.

I saw a tweet yesterday that said Moors will visit San Francisco, Southern Illinois and Drake, and then make a decision.

I very much like our chances in that top three. It's not like either SF or the Salukis have some ridiculous winning tradition. Fingers crossed. The tweet DUB mentions also had a follow-up of "Mid-majors are of interest to Moors – a top NZ prospect in ‘18 class - as they provide opportunity to earn real minutes, develop & thrive."

Yeah lets hope we get him! Some exciting news on here would be nice, been a slow few weeks!

Well I think Des Moines is a lot more appealing than Carbondale, and San Fransico is just too big. Wide open path to success at Drake.
