On Friday, the 6-foot-2 guard from Baclayon, Bohol, formally committed to playing for the Growling Tigers throughout his undergraduate career.
Pido Jarencio, the head coach, and the team managers Eric Ang and Waiyip Chong, formally welcomed Moore.
According to Jarencio, Moore's acquisition is a massive coup for the Espana team, attempting to regain relevance after spending years at the bottom.
The Growling Tigers' guard rotation, which now includes Paul Manalang, is strengthened by Moore, 19, who joins the team.
He led the Arellano Braves in the recent NCAA Season 98 junior basketball tournament with averages of 19.0 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.3 assists, and 1.3 blocks.
For his outstanding performance, Moore was also selected for the Under Armour-NBTC All-Star Game, where he won the MVP award for Team Hustle.
Along with Canadian-born winger, Gabriel Obusan from the Philippines, he will be eligible for five years and can play immediately for UST.(Romeo Braceros Jr.)
