Just heard this too, great news. He's a 6'3" combo guard that Mops likes....welcome to the fold Mr Moore!

Hopefully we get some video on him soon....no I haven't looked yet lol

thanks TK for the vid...

Moore was considered by some the top guard available in the Cincinatti area. Originally commited to Duquesne.

Nice pick up. I like what I've read about him. I posted a scouting report on him in the other thread.

Hopefully Chris Obekpa visits - he's a long shot (especially with b/c of his AAU coaches), but is worth gambling on.

In other news, Phillip Nolan committed to UConn. Someone on here was asking about him recently. I didn't think he was going to qualify. Seems odd that a school that's on probation for academics would take a kid like this. Even more odd that they were able to admit him.

Anthony Bennett, and this class is perfect.

Anthony Bennett, and this class is perfect.

Very small chance he ends up at Oregon. Florida or Kentucky - in that order.

I know, but there's still a chance?

"Moore, an Enquirer Divisions II-IV all-area selection this past season, averaged 16.8 points, 9.1 rebounds and four assists."

“He felt comfortable with the facilities, the staff, the academics,” Ellison said. “…It was just a good fit for him.”

Moore, who is 6 feet 3, also considered South Carolina, Virginia Tech and Tennessee Tech among his finalists, Ellison said.

Oregon offered Moore April 22 and the Ducks made a connection to Moore through Oregon assistant Tony Stubblefield, who was a UC assistant and the Bearcats recruiting coordinator from 2006-10, according to Ellison. Ellison has known Stubblefield since his days at UC.

Ellison said there is a “great chance” Moore will be roommates with Taft standout wide receiver Dwayne Stanford, who is an Oregon football signee. The two have played AAU basketball together the past two years.

Miami University and Wright State were among other schools with interest in Moore. Moore also seriously considered Virginia Tech before the Hokies announced head coach Seth Greenberg was dismissed.

It appears coach Altman is bringing in a nice class
of players. Players that will play his style of ball.
I look forward to next year already. Maybe Artis can
convince Bennett that Oregon is the best place for him.
I know i know wishful thinking but hey ya never ever know.

Bennett eliminated Florida today, he's down to Kentucky, Oregon, and UNLV.

I look like an idiot now. That's actually very shocking. Bennett had said that he was going to eliminate one school and most figured that it would be Oregon or UNLV. Florida fans are definitely stunned by this - of course they are accusing Calipari of making it rain.

Sounds like he isn't going to take any official visits. Khem Birch has apparently been heavily involved in his recruitment, trying to pull him to UNLV. Would be hilarious if he didn't end up at Kentucky.
