PHILADELPHIA – Clifton Moore may be one of the biggest sleepers on the East Coast.
The 6-foot-9 small forward from Hatboro-Horsham (Pa.) and Hoopdreamz Blue Moore scored a game-high 23 points in a 71-67 loss Thursday morning to PK Flash at the Elevate Hoops Summer Icebreaker. But the long small forward displayed the all-around ability that has him catching the eyes of college programs.
Moore defended the basket by registering multiple blocks as well as showing a shooting stroke from beyond the arc.
Moore mentioned Layfette, Temple, La Salle, and George Mason as the schools he keeps in contact with the most.
His performances are even attracting new suitors here.
“A couple new coaches came yesterday to this tournament, East Carolina and UNC-Wilmington,” Moore said following Thursday’s game.Moore is looking forward towards the end of the summer to bring a focus in on his college basketball opportunities.
“I’m just keeping my options open right now,” he said. “After July. In August and September” Moore plans to cut his list.
