Nov 17, 2015 | Men's Basketball
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Memphis head coach Josh Pastner has announced that top-80 recruit Charlie Moore has signed his National Letter of Intent to play for the Tigers beginning in the 2016-17 season.
Moore, who was rated as highly as the 57th prospect in the country by Rivals.com and as low as 80th by ESPN, averaged over 20 points per game as a junior, and was named to the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) All-State First Team. Additionally, he has helped lead Morgan Park High School to two Class 3A State Titles over the last three seasons.
"I chose Memphis because it was a great situation for me to come in right away and contribute to the team," Moore said to 247sports.com. "I also felt great about the coaching staff. Coach Josh (Pastner) and Coach Damon (Stoudamire) have been wonderful in this process. I also feel that Coach Josh will get the best out of me as a player and continue to challenge me like Coach Nick (Irvin) has done for me the past four years."Â
