RJ Moore’s College Decision Looms as Family Ties and Recruiting Buzz Intersect

The son of UConn alumnus and current North Carolina A&T associate head coach Ricky Moore weighs his options amid a crowded field of suitors.

RJ Moore, a 6‑foot‑5 shooting guard from New Jersey, arrives at the apex of his high school career as one of the most sought‑after prospects in the nation.

His rise has been anchored by performances with Team United, the AAU circuit that has become a proving ground for the next generation of college stars.

Legacy and Choice

Ricky Moore, his father, earned a place in UConn history by helping the Huskies capture the 1999 national championship before transitioning to a coaching role at North Carolina A&T.

While the elder Moore has spoken openly about his son’s openness to a UConn education, he stresses that the final decision will be guided by RJ’s own ambitions rather than familial pressure.

The recruiting landscape reflects a mix of traditional powerhouses and emerging programs, with scholarship offers extending to Florida State, Wake Forest, Rutgers and several other institutions.

A decision is anticipated this fall, a timeline that will likely determine not only RJ Moore’s collegiate destination but also how his unique family connection to a historic program influences the broader recruiting narrative.
