Really a good thing he went to prolific and got so much better and more exposure to secure that coveted Hawaii offer.
at some point you gotta do what you are supposed to do. he met the ceiling, that tall, that early, it is difficult. but at least he had the bigger offers early. he just got as good as he was going to get. that said, he is playing D1 basketball next year and thousands of bay area kids will never say that. but yeah, hawaii was available even if he stayed at riordan.
Hawaii is a beautiful place to visit. But living there is a completely different animal.
Coaching means everything and the Hawaii coaches pulled out the red carpet for him and he took it. One positive. He should get 15-20 min of PT per game easy. Realistically if he had went to a school like Kansas or Ok st he would have maybe got 5 min in a blowout situation.
I hope the kid makes the most of his minutes. I def. Thought he would go to a bigger school than Hawaii.
In today's college landscape, I wouldnt be surprised if he enter the transfer portal after year 1. Good luck to him going forward.
peja kid and mor aint the same. riordan wasnt winning a state title. they wouldnt have beaten ponderosa. PP allowed him to train with the best. Nobody in CA would beat PP so he went to the best school in the state. Clearly being offered and being able to play there are 2 different situations. Peja kid would be recruited over at kentucky so be careful.
You mean they aren’t the same player? Thanks for the insight. Nobody said he was going to UK and everybody gets recruited over. That’s why it’s one and done or transfer city.
I am sorry to say but some people are just clueless what goes on behind the scenes and landscape of college basketball. So i will end this all one last time.
Mor Seck could have entertained or went to a much "higher profile" school or conference. He chose the school where the head coach recruited him the hardest and actually came to visit him at the end. And I am proud of him for that. That is Mor choice and he made the decision which factors was important to him, not the public armchair coaches.
And those that said PP didn't help with his development is ridiculous. Mor wasn't able to compete at Prolific when he first got here. He didn't have the basketball court time or IQ to play with 4-5 Star athletes. However, he left a completely different player, competing on the largest stage at GEICO and being a defensive factor. Not only did Mor Seck earn grow in maturity, he overcome early playing time woes, performed on the largest stage when it mattered, and earned a full ride college scholarship. That was Mor progression for a single year with us and we are so proud of him.
Some haters on here always forget there are levels to this basketball. Lets not forget Centennial is the pinnacle for California CIF. Let's not forget with only 1.5 weeks of practice, we were up 30 points on ESPN at the Border League against them, and we were not at full strength. People love to sit here and talk but the facts don't lie, there are levels to this Prep vs CIF game.
And to set the record straight, as the season is over and he got his scholarship. Mor Seck wasn't recruited to Prolific Prep. Mor was removed from Riordon by their administration and they asked if we could take him on our team as we were local and we have had high success with international players. So everyone can stop with the BS that we took him from Riordon. And we are beyond happy that phone call did happen.
To top it off, he lived with a host family that adored him. Maybe the best moment of his stay at PP, was Mor was smart/mature enough to evaluate a potentially deadly situation, call 911 in a timely manner to save his host fathers life who was having a stroke. Mor, within minutes was able to work with 911 to resuscitate his host dad's life. So everyone can talk all the BS they want on here, Mor Seck will always be a major part of PP history, regardless if he want to University of Hawaii or the ACC (which was offering).

and there it is.... to get a D1 scholarship 95% of the norcal prep crew will never have the chance, nor will their kids. good work PP.
Proverbs 27:17.
i am wondering where is Leroy and what is his opinion on all this?
Ponderosa? Didn’t they make a first round exit to the lowest seed in their bracket? Riordan played in the NorCal Open without Mor and Zion who both moved to PP.
ol boy talked about ponderosa all year like they were the next best thing to the showtime lakers. so they def was better than PP and Riordan
I think you are missing the point. Mor Is a 7ft gifted kid regardless if he went to PP or Cloverdale. There are no surprises anymore with you tube and AAU. Peja kid played for an average norcal team (Jesuit) and he is blowing up. Played against kids who wil never be the 1st option in city league games when they grow up. He doesn’t need PP or any other school. He is genetically gifted and has worked hard.
It is what it is.
I personally and as I have said many times am not the biggest prep school fan by any means. But the fact you came in here and set the record straight speaks volumes. I credit your for setting the record straight. I just got back from Hawaii and someone above said living there is different than visiting, that’s hilarious. Damn near everyone successful in the service industry for many years left the mainland and never returned. My boy Rodney Glover from Riordan was a QB at Hawaii, every chance he gets he goes back. So good luck to the young man. He gets to live a great college experience. And we will see if he moves further on in his basketball journey down the road. Much credit to PP and to Mor putting in the work
Congrats to the young man! A few years ago he didnt even play hoops or dream of having a college scholarship now hes doing both. I wish him a great career!
Mor is just a great kid. The fact he supported his Crusader brothers at the NorCal Open Semi @ Campo and the warm welcome he received by coaches, admin, players and fans alike speaks volumes. He came to a strange country leaving his family having only played organized basketball for just 4 years and he's got a full ride at a D1 school. He definitely still needs to put in the work, but I like his trajectory and upside. Oh and he speaks 3 languages...I guess he'll learn a 4th at Hawaii - pidgin. lol
Prolific, here is my take. I am and as stated not a prep school guy at all. I am a live the high school life type of guy. But you all have made a change in a few. And that is a blessing. But deep down I would not respond down to any negativity to be honest. You run a program, it has shown results, leave it at that. I myself love good high school hoops. I seen JKidd, and many others lace it up for their respective high schools. James harden, Klay, and so many others represent their respective schools. But the game has changed no doubt. And you have involvement in that change. Leave it at that. No reason to respond to any further to the hate. Again am I a fan, no, but you can’t discredit what you have added to the landscape. And your message above in regards to Mor set many things straight. Keep rolling.
I don’t think anyone but you ever brings up the Lakers. Most of us live in the present.
Wasn't able to compete or didn't have the IQ to play with 4-5 star players? Development is longitudinal and it takes a lot longer to develop skills than just a year or 2. but of course Prolific Dump's MO has always been to pimp out kids and take credit for it. Your school is a sham as is the way you do things. Yes, it's true that a lot of kids have gotten opportunities though your program but don't take all the credit for it...
Also this is directed at Prolific Prep
you can’t compare a Prep team to a high school team. It’s completely unfair. Prep schools essentially recruit and even scholarship their guys. Centennial, while a power house, is still a public school that has to abide by certain rules prep schools don’t.
Prolific Prep also lost two guys last year, and yet no one really said anything about that (Dink Pate, Dior Johnson) while gaining the Sac kid Rosebourough.
You won’t hear them say it out loud but I think Mor and even a little bit Sensley made mistakes leaving Riordan for PP. That’s my opinion. That’s a lot of peoples opinion.
I will stand up for PP when necessary but so far in their existence there isn’t really one NBA guy they developed that stands out. Josh Jackson isn’t even in the league anymore and I guess you could make an argument that Gary Trent Is somewhat serviceable.

ok thats cute. but clearly we on a high school site talking about teen boys. so who really in the present?
PP needs a logo rebrand. I can't take them seriously if they really think have a certain male body part as their logo is acceptable.
Green played 1 year there, 3 years at SJM….I think SJM gets more credit for developing him, then PP does.
Riordan hasn’t had any NBA players of recent memory. Lots of D1 athletes though.
Personally winning a CA state title would have meant more to me then whatever titles PP was in contention for. But everyone is different.
Agreed! Who wants to be able to travel the country playing elite talent, getting to see new places one would be hard pressed to see in their lifetime and play on ESPN? I totally rather get those kind of life experiences traveling down 280 for a non league game at Jefferson or Aragon!
i mean you also said going to watch a D5 basketball game was top 3 moments in your life. so theres that.
furthermore Riordan was no lock to win anything considering they had ponderosa in the way. and campolindo.
