Archbishop Riordan's Jordy McKenzie has committed to Eastern Washington (scroll a bit down down from here) EWU is a member of the Big Sky Conference and offered the 6-foot-4 guard in mid-to-late July.

Tobias Bass: "NEWS: 4starCG Mikey Lewis will announce his commitment on Oct. 27. It’s between:
- Ole Miss
- Illinois
- St. Mary's
He averaged 18.1 points, 4.5 rebounds & 2.2 assists at the Peach Jam"
Ole Miss? Chris Beard is a helluva coach but c'mon. Ole Miss? (imagine Allen Iverson shouting "Ole Miss" a la his rant about practice!)
Illinois just landed 6-foot-4 combo guard Jase Butler. But these two could play together.
St. Mary's means landing with the best program in California and playing alongside Aiden Mahaney.

"...The decision to waive Moore comes as a bit of a surprise, even though he hadn’t made much of an impact on the court in Summer League or the preseason. The undrafted rookie out of San Jose State signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Bucks in early July — that level of team control is rare, since most two-way deals only cover a single season...."
Plus: "Those first two weren’t surprising, but Moore was somewhat unexpected. After all, they signed the San Jose State product to a two-way deal that lasted two years on draft night. He had his moments in Summer League back in July, and his 6’6” length plus collegiate point guard experience made him an interesting prospect if a longshot. He seemed likely to be a regular feature with the Wisconsin Herd in the G League season ahead. However, Moore saw no action in the first three preseason games and only made his “debut” last night with five scoreless minutes, his only contribution being one rebound. That lack of playing time had me wondering if the Bucks weren’t as enamored with him anymore now that they’ve had over three months to look at him, and this move seems to confirm that.
