All Things Jayden Moore Recruitment Thread (Class of 2026, Hopkins HS)

Does anyone else find it odd that the player is tweeting out his stats? That seems like a school, club, or observer duty.

High school stats are spotty at best. Some schools to a great job, others are pretty brutal

Agreed, but it still seems odd that he's sending out his own. I know the world is different, but not long ago not many people beyond your own household wanted or needed stats in any kind of hurry. Just seems weird to me.

He's proud he had a decent game...probably not much more to look into than that.

I’m thinking, after viewing and listening to the video, might also be someone else behind it.

Edit: darn challenges of the English language

Who cares... he tagged Gopher Hole so that's all that matters!

That seems to make more sense to me. Perhaps I'll rethink and tweet out when I really nail my weekly column, just to let everyone know.

Everybody wants to be wanted.

 

[Holy Man]

Everybody wants to be wanted.

But being needed is much more valuable than being wanted.

But being needed is much more valuable than being wanted.

And I would suggest having your needs met is much more important than having your wants met.
(I am lost, is this still the Gopherhole basketball board?)

Losing creates a lot of tangents.

Also tagged UNC...

I don’t understand why we haven’t offered. We could have 2 years ago and it would have been fine, no reason the hometown team should be behind anyone else, let alone multiple schools in offering Moore.


Go Gophers!!

You don’t understand how Ben is building.

 

[Wet_Blanket_Guy]

Don’t worry, we have 4 more years of turning .200% B10 winning percentage for him to watch.

He should go to UCLA under Mick Cronin. Still get to play in front of his home fans now that UCLA will be in the B10.

Or anyone in the Big East with all these UST home games

 

[MaxyJR1]

What's there to offer? A verbal offer? Hey if you are still alive in 3 years and get qualifying grades, don't blow out a knee, we still need your position, and I'm still coach, I'd like you go come to the U. ???

 

[SPB_Gophers]

just wanna throw it out there that this kid is playing at a level i can’t remember i saw from a freshman, crazy to watch

Dumb post.

Correct. Some schools don't care about promoting any individual stats. Saw a tweet for coaches to get nominations in for All-State and All-Star games and you can't even nominate the player if you're not a member of the Coaches Association.

 

[MaxyJR1]

Dumb post.

I don't know the situation, but let's say he has an offer from one school and really no relationship, but has a relationship with Johnson/MN staff building with no offer. I would take the latter at this point.

 

[GopherPharmaBiz]

Saw Moore in person tonight. Couple thoughts:

1. He’s blazing quick and has a knack for steals.
2. Very built for a freshman.
3. Seems like a good- not great shooter (Hopkins’ sophomore shooting guard scored the first 9 points of the game on three 3s)
4. Had a breakaway where he attempted a dunk and it didn’t seem like he was quite able to get up high enough for it but he got his own rebound and put it in.
5. I kind of wonder if the reason Johnson hasn’t offered yet is they’re waiting to see what happens with his maturity. He got banged up driving to the basket towards the end of the first half, sulked a while and then seemed to play on tilt for a while before the half mercifully ended for Hopkins. He also got a Tech in the 2nd half doing or saying something by STMA’s bench

Overall I was impressed. Definitely one to watch

 

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

 

[Spaulding!No!]

I hope the kid has Ben’s phone number.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

The off-season creates a lot of tangents. (FIFY)

 

[T-Bonegopher]

I hope the kid has Ben’s phone number.

I hope you get some new material. Yawn!

 

[Spaulding!No!]

I hope you get some new material. Yawn!

I hear ya.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

You don’t need to be the first offer but it’s good to offer. Hard to believe he won’t be a high major kid

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

I hope the kid has Ben’s phone number.

Me 2
Then he commit in 10th grade like Khalid did, only to go to ____.

You are not a 16 yr old kid in today's generation......
