Mark Pope and his staff are out on the recruiting trail as they look to make some noise in the high school ranks in the class of 2027. However, their biggest recruiting win might come from an NBA Draft decision by Malachi Morneo.
It is safe to say this decision will likely impact the excitement for next season and could either help get Coach Pope back into the good graces of the BBN or put one nail in the coffin many have already built for him. That is why the tweet from Moreno yesterday afternoon got the fanbase talking.
WHAT COULD IT MEAN?! That is exactly what we all were shouting as we saw it. Moreno has retweeted a few accounts in recent months, but this is actually the first tweet he’s personally sent out since March 19.
Moreno participated in the in the GSL Sports Group Pro Day in Los Angeles on Tuesday in front of all 30 NBA teams. After working out for the New York Knicks and meetings with the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics, it is expected that Moreno will have a few more workouts to end the week.
With his stock still sitting firmly around the late first round mark, you can find mock drafts that place him as the 23rd pick to Atlanta (Yahoo Sports) or find him slipping into the early second round, as ESPN has him.
One thing is for certain: If he does decide to stay in the draft, the Kentucky native will hear his name called this year. Now it just depends on which option he prefers.
