Mauldin a strong academic student is a deceptive athlete who really likes to play along the baselines it seems. Clyde can finish around the cup, post up smaller defenders and step-out to the three-point line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1811867,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/02/40DD9FE8-80FF-4436-BFF3-54318DF79579.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/02/40DD9FE8-80FF-4436-BFF3-54318DF79579.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1811867" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moore is geared to score the ball wherever on the floor. Robert can create his own shot and has the ability to be a strong 3-level scorer. Robert picked up offers this summer from several NCAA Division 1 programs like College of Charleston, Coastal Carolina, Georgia State and Furman to name a few. His recruitment is certainly no done at all. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>JJ Fludd </strong>will return to the backcourt after he's done on the football field this season. Fludd currently has over 2,000 yards rushing and 36 Touchdowns for the Cyclones. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
