Cincinnati-Bound Quadri Moore Could Be New Jersey’s Most Complete Player

“Quadri is an extremely tough matchup,” Roselle Catholic coach Dave Boff told SNY.tv. “He scores in the post with his back to the basket. He can face at 15 feet and shoot or drive and he can shoot it to 23 feet. He’s playing like the state Player of the Year right now.”

“Quadri’s best part of his game, I keep telling everybody, he’s a great passer,” Colicchio said. “People haven’t seen that part of his game yet, but they’ll see it when he gets to college. So you know, I’ll leave that up to you guys who’s the best player, but I’m a little prejudiced. I’ve coached the kid for four years so naturally I think he’s the most complete player.”

Thanks, good read. Quadri is definitely our most skilled big man recruit since Yancy. If he can come in and have our coaches improve his defense and motor, look out. Skill isn't an issue with Quadri, he can play.

I liked this quote:
"While Moore’s outside shooting touch was absent during Monday’s game, he still shot 6-of-8 inside the arc, with several of the makes coming on impressive fadeaway jumpers that were often contested. Moore’s inside-out potential could provide match-up nightmares for years to come."

Hard to game plan against a guy that can do that. As JL matures and with the addition of Clark, DeBerry, and Strickland the frontline could Mick's best group since he's been here.

Quadri Moore scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead Linden, No. 4 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, to a 52-33 victory over Plainfield in Plainfield.


Looking like it will be coming down to Quadri and Kentucky bound 7 footer Karl Towns for the New Jersey Player of the Year.....

Thanks a ton for joining us here and providing some great information on someone that will be a great Bearcat in the future on the court and in the classroom!

Moore Excited About Cincinnati’s Season, Ready to Contribute

Special to ZAGSBLOG

UNION, N.J. – Cincinnati commit Quadri Moore is trying to win a New Jersey Tournament of Champions title while also keeping en eye on his future college club.

The 6-foot-8 Moore — who could be New Jersey’s most complete player this season — is committed to play for head coach Mick Cronin and his No. 7-ranked Bearcats next season and spent a little time discussing their season.

Cincinnati currently has a record of 24-3 with an impressive American Athletic Conference record of 13-1. They have three important wins over Louisville (away), Memphis (away) and Connecticut (home) and ironically, their next three games are against those three teams and will likely determine who gets the number one seed in the conference tournament.

Cincinnati has a huge home game Saturday against No. 11 Louisville (22-4, 11-2). The Bearcats currently lead the Cardinals by a game and a half for first place.

“I’ve been following them a bit,” Moore said. “I’ve seen a couple of their games on TV. They’ve had a couple good, quality wins and they’ve been doing a good job this season with being ranked in the Top 10 in the country. I speak to coach Cronin quite often.”

Moore also discussed how he thinks he can contribute to their team next season.

“I think I’ll just have to do whatever the coach tells me to do and do my job,” he said. “Just listen to coach [Cronin] and I’ll fit in perfectly.”

He mentioned that his rebounding ability and instincts have improved this year and thinks that aspect of his game will translate immediately to the Bearcats.

“I don’t think they’ll need my scoring so much, but I think I can add that too if they need it,” he said. “Also, trying to be a leader, even as a freshman, on the court.”

Moore has led Linden to an 18-3 record on the season and they’re currently ranked fourth in The Star-Ledger’s Top 20. Their next game will be Saturday in the Union County Tournament. Linden earned the No. 1 seed in the tournament and has a bye until the quarterfinals.

“If we play like we’re supposed to play, I think we can win the whole county,” he said.

When pressed about a potential Tournament of Champions run, Moore played down the idea, but didn’t rule it out.

“That’s far ahead of us,” he said, “but I think we can get there.”

Who is going to be player of the year up there?

 

[coachpipe]

Who is going to be player of the year up there?

Karl Towns JR would be my guess

 

[bearcat jeff]

Karl Towns JR would be my guess

Mine too from afar.

 

[LaxCat31]

Mine too from afar.

Is he that much better? I really don't know that's why I am asking. Or is he getting a ton of hype for being a UK commit and a 5 star recruit?

 

[JohnELinden]

thinking its going to be between towns and quadri...... dream scenario is they meet for all the marbles in the Tournament of Champions final ... that should settle it!! but again thats a long way off

Nice. They play in the same division? That would be a game I would love to watch

 

[JohnELinden]

no they arent... thats why they can only meet in the tournament of champions...... jersey plays down to 6 state champs every year.... 4 public 2 non-public..... those teams are then seeded in the TOC and they play down until there is only one team left whose last game is not a loss... tends to give the other 5 state champs a bad taste in their mouth finishing the season with a loss right after they won the state title.. but thats the way it is!

I think this is how every state should do it.

 

[JohnELinden]

this could be the first time since 2001 that a public school wins the TOC!! last time was camden and the messiah dejuan wagner.... such a shame he had health problems him and lebron never got to reach their potential together on cleveland!! i am only 36 but have been watching NJ high school basketball for the past 25 years.... wagner is the best player i have ever seen at the high school level.... whew...

Agreed Wagner was amazing. Didn't he have a game where he scored 100 points? He terrorized us his one year at Memphis, almost beat us on our senior day by himself!!

 

[JohnELinden]

yes he was widely criticized for that 100 pt game but he did what he did... score!!

 

[bearcat18]

Had 18 points in a 19 point win in front of Coach Savino tonight.
