Stat-stuffer men's basketball player Larenzo Moore, who helped Morton College to its fifth conference title this decade, signed a NAIA National Letter of Intent to attend Robert Morris University in Chicago.

The 6-3 Chicago resident from Team Englewood High School averaged a double-double on the season with 10.2 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. Moore nearly doubled on his numbers of 5.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game a year ago.

He was one of four Panthers to reach double figures in scoring overall. Moore, a Second Team All-Skyway selection, also was 11th at the NJCAA D-2 level in rebounding.
Moore had 11 double doubles for the Panthers, who were 20-13 this season. His best game was an amazing 21-point, 29-rebound effort in Morton College's 83-63 win over Joliet November 30th.

He also had 19 games in double digits for rebounds, including the Panthers' final six games. During the Region IV playoffs, Moore averaged 10.3 points and 12.0 rebounds per game over three contests. He also shot 46 percent from the field and had seven blocks and 13 assists.

Moore also led the Panthers with 53 blocked shots and 64 steals. He was third in assists with 94 and shot 81 percent from the free-throw line. The two-year member at Morton College was responsible for helping the Panthers improve from 9-20 to 20-13.

Moore will look to help Robert Morris rebound from a 9-19 season in coach Othyus Jeffers' first season. He is one of three players from this year's Morton College team moving on to play at a four-year school, joining Deonte McReynolds (Peru State) and Joffery Brown (Lewis).
