Thanks to his size and quick post moves, Moore dominates on the interior. His guard-like dribbling skills, 3-point shooting and high basketball IQ enable Moore to play on the perimeter too. Late last week Robert Morris University gave Moore his first college offer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1123910' first='Khaafiq' last='Myers'] </strong><strong>– 5'10" / Junior / Neumann-Goretti / NJ Scholars Elite / Point Guard: </strong>There is an intriguing dance going on between Myers and the St. Joe's Hawks program.
