Growling Tigers head coach Pido Jarencio promises growth for the Filipino-American player under his program, saying, “When he comes to college, his preparation will be faster, and his improvement will be faster because we have a complete program here.”

Moore expressed his excitement to play for the España-based squad as well as in a different league, saying, “I’m very excited. New basketball program, new area, new league… the UAAP. So, I’m very excited.

“I’ll do my best to bring the crown back to España.”

UST has also recruited Fil-Am Chase Lane and Fil-Canadian Gabriel Obusan this off-season, and will have Rhayyan Amsali and James Una for Season 87.
