The coaching staff likes my ability to score and shoot the ball. The shooting aspect is good for the sets they run and the system they have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moore cited the tradition-rich culture of the program, the winning pedigree and the relationship he has established with the coaching staff as appealing factors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTennessee has a great history in winning and the way <strong>Rick Barnes<\/strong> just helps out guys individually are impressive,\u201d Moore explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe coaching staff, I\u2019ve been texting (assistant) Coach <strong>(Steve) McClain<\/strong> since the first live period. We\u2019ve developed a great relationship. Also Rick Barnes is a legend\u2013 I\u2019ve watched him for years and he\u2019s a great coach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boasting a wide ranging skill set, Moore is able to orchestrate offense as a primary ball handler, operate in the post, and pilot the perimeter game as a major catch-and-stick presence. He had several games of six 3-pointers or more this past summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rutgers, Georgia Tech, Utah, Clemson<\/strong>, and several others have been in contact with Moore.<\/p>\n<p> He will inherit a prominent leadership role for an Ambassador Christian program which has added talent and depth for a much anticipated 2025-2026 campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BY ZACH SMART As a 6-foot-7 shot maker who authored a breakout summer with efficient scoring, an adeptness&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":212109,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[1339,1317,1337,1338,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-212108","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-basketball","11":"tag-ncaabasketball","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115172876198202745","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212108","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212108"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212108\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
