It looks like this would be a real nice get for the Griz if he comes here. The team he plays for already has 3 people committed to Div 1 schools (2 to Fresno, and one to EWU), and another one (who is just a Junior) who is a 4 star being looked at by Kansas, Louisville, etc etc.
Last year he averaged around 11 points per game. Many of the games they played they blew out their opponents. They only lost 1 game all season (to a 4a school it looks like). I've seen him listed as anywhere from 6'5" to 6'7", and weighing anywhere between 200 and 210lbs.
Here is a link to a listing of how many points he scored in each game. It looks like after the first 5 games he started scoring a whole lot more. This was his first year at that school. His Jr. year he was with a different HS and averaged over 10points per game:

Rainier Beach is a serious BB school. A good player there can probably make the transition to the BSC fairly easily. This could be a nice get for the Griz.

Here's a highlight video of Rainier Beach (3A) vs Franklin (4A). This was Rainier Beach's only loss on the year. Franklin was 24-3.

Two very impressive teams with lots of Division 1 signees/recruits on the floor.
Rainier Beach has Dotson (4 stars, with offers from Georgia, Oregon State, and being looked at by Kansas, Louisville, etc), Moore (3 star, going to Fresno State), Ladd (going to Fresno State), and Dimisse going to EWU, and of course Moikobu who, according to Rivals lists Old Dominion, Portland State, UNLV, San Diego, Montana and Oregon State as recruiting him.
Franklin has Siva (4 Stars, with offers from Gonzaga, Washington, Arizona, and being looked at apparently by Kansas & Louisville).

Moikobu will be the fourth Viking to sign a Division-I letter of intent.
After contemplating the possibility of taking some more visits, Nyandigisi Moikobu has decided that won't happen. The athletic 6-foot-7, 205-pound forward sat down and realized that he had already seen all that he needed to see on his first official visit and the fit was just right. So earlier this week, the Rainier Beach standout made the call and he'll continue his basketball career in the Big Sky Conference.
"I decided to go with Montana," Moikobu said. "I just liked it down there and felt comfortable, and it just came to me. I like that they're a team that can make it to the tournament."
Ever since coming back from his trip to Missoula a couple of weekends ago, Moikobu had been thinking hard about the Grizzlies program. The original thought was to see if some of the other schools that had been calling to show interest would come through with a visit invite or even a scholarship offer. But the more he thought about things, there was no reason to wait any longer.
"I like how the coaches and the players are all close," Moikobu said. "I really liked playing with them and I felt that I fit in."
The plan for Moikobu at Montana is for a position shift - something he welcomes and is set to prepare for. "I know I need to get in the weight room a lot, but I also need to work on my ball-handling," Moikobu said. "I'll be playing a good portion at the three, so I need to work on all that stuff."
Moikobu plans on signing his letter-of-intent this week, and when he does he'll be the fourth Rainier Beach standout to head to the Division I level, joining teammates Reggie Moore (Fresno State), Mike Ladd (Fresno State), and Ababe Dimisse (Eastern Washington).
WashingtonPreps.com would like to congratulate Moikobu and his family on his commitment.

Just to note.....I'm loving the direction that Tinks is going with the recruiting.... another long athletic wing, and he's going hard after two combo type guards with size and the ability to get to the rack and hit the midrange jumper...... exactly what we need....heres hoping we nail down the other two
