I think Mooney came from South Dakota, but yes, I would love to have a Matt Mooney on our team.
Mostly a gym rat. You are going to have turnovers when you’re the guy that goes and gets buckets at a rate like he did.
Wish they would go after this kid. He is a late riser. Very versatile SF/PF who is apparently up to about 6'10 now.

Starting together? Playing major minutes at the same time? In the Big 12?
Frank Mason was 5'11" and Devonte Graham was 6'2". Of course, that's Kansas and they cheat.
It's really not that big of a deal. It really depends more on the type of players they are, their wingspan, vertical, and general athletic ability.
Can you have two small, slow, unathletic guys that can only shoot and pass? No.
It's not terribly common, but I don't think a coach should shy away from a smaller guard, just because he's already got one in the same class. Especially if they're able to complement each other.
For instance, a Mason and Grahm or Pullen and Clemente, or Harper and Bryce Brown for Auburn this season, just off the top of my head.
Fran would disagree with the part I have bolded.
Would we even have a chance? Kid is from Virginia so not really close to us and we hadn't offered prior.
From Virginia and seems to be visiting mostly east coast schools. Va Tech, Wake Forest, Duke, and then literally every offer he has is from the east except USC. Ohio State, Indiana are in there too.
Some fans like Gunner are stuck in the 80’s.
There are plenty of teams with three guards in their rotation that go 6’3”, 6’3”, and 6’0”. Particularly when two of those are athletic and long, and the team is playing small ball with a shot-blocker like Conditt at the five.
Have to agree there. Size on the perimeter is overrated if you're letting people drive past you. I'd rather give up threes shot over our perimeter defenders than layups.
When you team them up with Haliburton and Leech in a three guard rotation I think it will. Grill and Jackson appear to be really solid three point shooters. Fully healthy I think Leech starts and maybe our primary scorer leaving Grill or Jackson to assume the super sub role Wiggy manned this year.
Add Foster to Conditt, Griffin and Anderson up front and the frontcourt shows potential to be an effective group with diverse skill sets.
6'2" Morris
6'4" Mitrou-Long
6'4" Thomas
6'4" Burton
6'8" / 240 Young in the middle
...worked pretty well.
I think I am being generous with 2-3 of those heights, too, but that is what is on Sports Reference.
Burton is listed at 6'5, Morris at 6'3", and Mitrou Long at 6'4" on NBA.com. Young would be the only one I question.
True enough -- having "real heights" for anybody is always a small nightmare.
Burton was long and thicc, too, which helped, even if on the shorter side.
I would imagine this could impact Caleb Grill’s recruitment
