The leader of the new school. The first in the pool. With the first pick in the first round of the 1978 NBA Draft one Portland General manager chose…. Ahead of West Texas’ finest (Maurice Cheeks), ahead of the Wildman from Wyoming (Michael Ray Richardson), ahead of Arkansas’ head hog (Ron Brewer), ahead of UNLV All American (Reggie Theus), ahead of the epitome (UNC’s Phil Ford) and ahead of the Hick from French Lick (Larry Bird);…One GM chose to start the international invasion.

Rashad Moss

Caribbean Basketball Networks’ Consensus Number one player in the class of 2oo4. One of the twin towers which ruled the paint for the last Charlie “Softly” Rubins led bunch. For the last seven years, (three high school and four collegiate), Rashad Moss did his thing.

Hey, but don’t take our word for it….Check the records books at Catholic Hs, North Oklahoma-Enid and the University of Arkansas Little Rock. The all time leading scorer and rebounder in North Oklahoma-Enid history and probably the best player to wear Catholic Hs gold in the last four years, Rashad Moss usually don’t got to say much. However, we did get a hold of the former North Oklahoma-Enid Jet to (from his perspective) put a cap on his collegiate career.

The Frenzy

Recently, the basketball Mecca of the universe, has turned its attention to the Caribbean, among other countries to get talented young prospects into the american system in hopes of grooming them for future success. It’s much like the elapsing of markets syndrome experienced by bigger wider known brands I.e. The Coke and Pepsi, Nike and Adidas lines and their market share stake in America. So in the sense of good business all entities must look outside of it borders to continue to feed the machine which exist. So with the attention being turned elsewhere and little or no structure being set up to receive such attention where the attention is being given; frenzy ensues and questions of credibility arise and linger greatly. This is for external representatives and individuals looking at the Caribbean for talented young prospects, events and/or coaches; here is how you wade through “The Extras” and get to the heart of the matter.
