Since we're analyzing the play, let's analyze the motivation. Perhaps I'm cynical, but was it posted for leverage in regards to playing time (RS, etc.) and/or future opportunities (NIL, etc.)? Sure, it could've been posted because it's just a really nice play, but perhaps it's not so innocent. Is anything in this age?
 
I think it was posted to highlight Momo’s (impressive) athleticism.

Really nothing further to analyze; it’s one play out of what will be thousands over the course of the off-season & season in an inter-team scrimmage. Every basketball player on earth gets cooked on defense at one point or the other, if not you’re playing on the wrong courts. We also have other players that can likely drive & dunk a basketball.
 
If Momo wants to earn minutes, all he has has to do is show he can stay in front of his man. That skill will make him a unicorn on this roster.
 
With so many players in the transfer portal each off-season red-shirting might not make sense the way it used to. It's no longer assumed that a player will stay in the program for four years, never mind five. If there's a reasonable chance a player can help, suit him up.
My only question about Momo is can he defend? If he can play both ends equally he probably won't be here long.

It's been officially updated on the facility calendar so I have a date now: we swapped out Elms for Western New England (still a D-3, but a noticeable upgrade), and the game will be the season-opener on 11/3.
 
So they start the season with 4 exhibition games before starting the regular season on Nov 9th against Brown. Tough 3 game road trip to start the season.
