Looks like broken ankles will become the most common injury in the Big East.

 

[Ozzie Nelson]

Thanks Forty Niner...what quickness!!

She has every tool you could possibly ask for in a guard coming out of high school. Just needs a little
time honing her craft at the college level. She just doesn't have quite as much experience as Breanna or Morgan (or KML before them) playing elite high school teams or Team USA, but in terms of things that can't be taught, she's got as much of that as any player in this class if not more.

 

[meyers7]

She can definitely create her own shot. Next couple of years are gonna be fun to be a fan.

 

[Phil]

Nice moves!!

 

[cohenzone]

I usually take highlight vids with a grain of salt, but you can't fabricate those moves for a few highlights. Wow.

Exactly. You can't tell a lot of things from highlight videos (defense, shooting because you're only gonna see made shots), but she has the best handles I've seen for any incoming UConn recruit. She also looks to have Iovy Latta-like quickness and athleticism...but with another 3-4 inches.

Needs to lose the long sleeves, though...

I could watch this all day and never stop laughing.

Welcome to UConn, Mo. You are going to be loved by a whole lot of fans in Husky Nation.

 

[EricLA]

her nickname is "bon-bon"? that's pretty cute.

Long sleeves needed because she gets town on the floor while dribbling!!!

There is a big difference between Bon Bon's game and Bam Bam's game.

The (likely at this juncture) 2013-14 starting lineup of MoJeff, Bria, KML, Breanna, and Stef has a chance to be all-time good. Time will tell, obviously, but it's exctiting to think about.

 

[easttexastrash]

Wow...this girl has some serious skills! That cross-over dribble is a thing of beauty. And she has a great jumper. I'm especially impressed with her ability to fade away.

She looks to be on a completely different level offensively than Massengale. Who is going to stop her?

Once again...WOW!

 

[easttexastrash]

I hate to say it, but there is your NC right there. I haven't seen a player like that in high school since I used to watch Catchings play at Duncanville. She certainly plays with confidence and swagger. How much does Geno have to pull her back as she obviously has the green light to do whatever she wants to try in high school...and appears to be capable to doing it all.

Maybe she'll get homesick and transfer to Baylor...

Not a chance she loves Geno and UCONN!

Is Mulkey not loveable? Wait, don't answer that...

She can create her own shot and she has so many Kemba like moves. Wow

 

[Kevin G]

WOW!! This girl is quick. She has a great handle and I love her ability to penetrate, stop and pop! Her leaping ability for her height is amazing.

I think we got the #1 (BS),2(MJ), and 3(MT) coming in....of course I'm sure Alexis Jones differs from my opinion. This class is going to be super special. With their talent + UCONN coaching staff = National ChampionshipS !!!!

 

[EricLA]

btw i realize it's a highlight video. there's no video of any of her mistakes or anything she needs to "work" on. having said that, there may be other PG's who have come out of HS with more hype (Diggens for example), but i am not sure there is one with more raw skills, speed, or potential than Bonn Bonn (I misspelled her nickname before). i hope someone asks her about the nickname...

i'm so glad to see stuff like this. there's a reason she's top 3 on everyone's list. we've read and seen a lot of Tuck and Stewart. it's awesome to see some great stuff on Moriah...

 

[triaddukefan]

Just curious, have Jefferson and Alexis Jones gone head to head in games before ??

Plus, coming off the bench, will be Kia Stokes, Breanna Banks, and Morgan Tuck ---
all of whom are really, really, good players.

Plus MJ and Lauren and Diamond(?) and __________, and ___________.

Plus a few surprises Geno is cooking up in the micro-wave.

 

[caravaggio]

Wished it looked like that out of my window. Chicago is covered in snow...but not in anyway beautiful, like Moriah's moves!

It's beautiful.
