JMM28 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Anyone in the Peoria area for the holiday? Zeke and the Riverview Gardens team will be playing in the Coventry Health Tournament of Champions (Washington Invitational) starting tonight at 5:30. They'll be taking on Bishop Alemany (CA), and then have a Friday morning game against Huntsville-Lee (AL) and afternoon game against Proviso East (IL). They'll play again on Saturday, time and opponent TBD. They'll also be playing on Saturday, 12/5 at 2:00 at Ritenour. Go see Zeke the Freak play! Peoria is lovely this (and every) time of year. If anyone is in the area I'm happy to pass along any info you need. I'm going to try getting out to see the Friday game. The Alabama team has 2 7 foot brothers like a freak show.

Pistol Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Nice! Thanks in advance for the scouting report, JMM28. I'm glad posters will have a chance to get out and see him this year because he flew under our radar (mostly) last season. STLToday has an incomplete-looking schedule for RGHS; there are some games that might be more conveniently located than their home games, like the Ritenour one or a game against Ritter at CBC on 12/19.

JMM28 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The Finke boys will be playing this weekend as well. SLU has been recruiting Tim who is a current sophomore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne's_World Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 It's not online, but the back of the print version of the sports section in the Post Dispatch had about 8 "players to watch this season." Moore was one, along with Goodwin, Gordon, Sneed, some guy named Tatum, and several others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore was one, along with Goodwin, Gordon, Sneed, some guy named Tatum, and several others. With the glut of talent in the area right now, that list writes itself. The hard part is who to keep off. I'd have at least a dozen, if not more. I'm sure they were crunched for space or whatever, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Anyone know how Moore did this weekend? I think I saw a tweet about him scoring like 37 points in a game but can't find it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 STLToday doesn't have the full box scores up, just the scores. Same for the tournament's website, and I can't find box scores from the Peoria J-S, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3star_recruit Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 STLToday doesn't have the full box scores up, just the scores. Same for the tournament's website, and I can't find box scores from the Peoria J-S, either. Zeke missed his first 4 shots in the 37 point game, then made his next 10. Scored 25 in the 2nd quarter. Shot poorly in 2 of the other 3 games. Shot OK in the other one. His new running mate Malik Barnett struggled with the high level of competition in this tournament so it was pretty much Zeke or bust. Two of the four teams were significantly better than anybody Riverview Gardens will have to face in the Suburban North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Huntsville AL is basketball talent hotbed. They've had some great female players too, Vols had a pipeline to it back a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have links to box scores or anything, or is this info just anecdotal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMouthBilliken Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Is this kid recruited by crews? Then forget him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Moore is averaging 22.8 PPG through the first 8 games. The stats also say he's shooting 53.4% overall and 60.9% from 3 - which is crazy, but consistent with what he did last season, according to the same STLToday stats. He's also shooting 84.8% from the FT line, and averaging 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2.3 steals per game. I can't confirm that these are 100% accurate, but are certainly promising. Riverview Gardens plays today at 1:00 against East St. Louis at Collinsville HS. Let's hope the staff is in attendance to see their sole 2016 commit play against E.J. Liddell.

billiken_roy Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Ej liddell plays for belleville west and they are at Centralia today. His cousin Tommie Liddell played for east st louis. I am at collinsville to see zeke today. I am currently watching super junior Javon pickett. He has 26 at the end of the third quarter. Why we haven't offered this kid a scholarship speaks volumes about our current staff's abilities to recruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 My mistake on Liddell- forgot he wasn't at ESL like Tommie. But we did offer Pickett several months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 This is a very painful game to watch. Two very fundamentally unsound out of control teams. Fans are beyond stupid yelling out some of the most absurb statements you can imagine. Our recruit made two beautiful nba range threes to start the game. He has a wonderful shot his judgment decision making and selfishness though makes me cringe. Figure out how to teach him the game and play within himself you'd probably have a wonderful player though. Personally I'd take the pickett player in the previous game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat excited to see what Zeke Moore has to offer, but not without good coaching, that's for damn sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
