File-This Feb. 24, 2021, file photo shows DePaul guard Charlie Moore (11) driving to the basket against Creighton guard Marcus Zegarowski (11) in the first half during an NCAA college basketball game in Omaha, Neb. Moore is transferring from DePaul to Miami, his fourth school, for his final year of eligibility. Moore provides a much-needed reinforcement for the Hurricanes, who since the end of the season have lost three players via the NCAA's new transfer rule. The 5-foot-11 Moore averaged 15.5 points and 6.1 assists in 32 games for DePaul in 2019-20, and 14.4 points and 4.2 assists in 16 games this past season. He started 34 games as a freshman at California and played as a reserve for Kansas in 2018-19. (AP Photo/John Peterson, File)
