I had been told that this was going to happen fast, but I didn't expect it to happen this fast. I'm in the process of tracking down Shakeel for an interview, but after Elmarko Jackson went down yesterday, I believe that the staff was ready to strike fast. I know that Moore began his career at NC State and spent the last three years at Mississippi State. Here's some information for you guys/gals while I work to track him down for an interview.
