2025 Recruiting: Abdou Toure is MUST SEE TV! Best Guard in Connecticut Since Mustapha Heron!

Yes, my buddy knew him from some camp. We were at an all-star game of CT best high schoolers at the time. Edmund's senior year of high school, Will Solomon, Tip Vinson.

Bobby Moore was a junior and the best guy on the court but he hadn't dunked yet in the game. We all yell out to him on the sideline that he needs to dunk during the game. He laughs at us and then like 2 possessions later he wraps the ball around the defender bounces it off the backboard and dunks it. Most ridiculous thing I've seen a player do in a game.

It's a real shame he never got it together and played in college.

I just remember seeing him play for MCI against T-More, I think in '97 or so? I can't remember who else was on MCI, but both teams were loaded. Moore was the quickest and most explosive player I had ever seen. I believe the "ridiculous" aspect. He was like a player I would've created in a video game. I think at one point, he was a top 10 player in his class.

The only high school player I remember seeing who was as explosive was Schea Cotton when he played at T-More. It was like watching a "Pro's vs. Joe's" thing. Next level athleticism. It's a shame the system screwed him over so much.

That show "Pros vs Joes" needs a redux.

That's strange reasoning. Burrell played at Hamden High. Hamden High is not in New Haven but Wilbur Cross is. Doug Wiggins was from East Hartford. Does that count as a player from Hartford?

Well if you knew some of the politics many New Haven kids miraculously come up with a “Hamden address” to attend Hamden High.

Was he born in New Haven because that’s where the hospital is or did his parents live in New Haven when he was born? If it’s the latter then when did he move to Hamden?

According to my Dad who he was good friends with, “Scott is a New Haven guy. Period”.

All the good high schools have that and it's annoying as hell. One of my former players "had an uncle" who lived in Windsor before he transferred. I had it on good authority (my own eyes) that the kid was commuting from 4 towns over.
