That would be Richardson and Custer, who grew up on the same street in Overland Park. They were sixth-graders when Kansas guard Mario Chalmers hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime against Memphis in the national title game, which the Jayhawks went on to win.

Then they’d switch.

The 49-year-old Moser engaged in what he calls a “grassroots rebuild.” His first local recruiting victory, in 2013–14, came in the form of 6'4" guard Milton Doyle—from Chicago's Marshall High—who helped the Ramblers make the transition from the Horizon League to the Missouri Valley Conference and acted as a pied piper for other players before finishing his career in 2017 and heading to the Long Island Nets of the NBA's G League.
