Marquise Moore, a onetime Hofstra pledge, will visit George Mason and Tulane next week, he told SNY.tv.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Queens native will trip to George Mason Monday-Wednesday and then go to Tulane later in the week.
Providence, UConn, Fairfield and Hofstra are also involved.
Moore said Providence watched him at an open gym Wednesday and “wants me to come down to work out with their team.”
As for UConn, Moore said the Huskies were “waiting to see if Shabazz [Napier] was going to enter the Draft.”
Asked what skill-set he will bring to college, the St. Thomas More (Conn.) guard said, “An athletic good point guard that can defend and finish at the rim. I’m a good passer and ball-handler with a good mid-range game and an improved 3-point shot.”
Said St. Thomas More coach Jere Quinn: “He’s an athletic, young point guard. He gets from Point A to Point B as quickly as anybody. His potential is really, really on the upscale. He had a wonderful season.”
WAGNER LANDS BIG MAN
Wagner has landed a commitment from 6-10, 230-pound big man Nolan Long of South Kent (Conn.).
James Madison, Hofstra, Sacred Heart and Central Connecticut were also involved with the two-sport star.
A right-handed pitcher with a 92-mph fastball, Long was also drafted in June 2012 by the San Francisco Giants in the 38th round of the MLB Amateur Draft.
“In my five years at South Kent, no player has improved over the course of the year like Nolan,” South Kent coach Kelvin Jefferson told SNY.tv.
“Nolan is 6-10, has great hands and can run. He loves to play and he wants to be good. I have no doubt that Coach [Bashir] Mason and his staff will develop Nolan into one of the top big men in the league.”
Long is the team’s second commit, following 6-8 forward Greg Senat of Marianapolis (Conn.) Prep, who committed in November.
