2025 - 7’0 C Malachi Moreno was the most impactful player on the floor last night in loss to St. X.
It’s a shame they don’t give him the ball on offense much.

90% of his offense comes from putbacks and FT’s. Oddly enough.
As a scout… I won’t overhype you, that’s not my style. I don’t have a magic wand to get you offers. Yes, I can get a coach in the gym to see you play…but, at the end of the day it’s on you to earn that offer. There are no handouts in this basketball world. #NextUp
