While he flies a bit under the radar, the guard prospect has double-digit offers from mid-majors and Power Six conferences.<\/p>\n<p>Moore <a href=\"https:\/\/n.rivals.com\/content\/athletes\/omari-moore-301180?view=pv\">is a 6-foot-3 guard<\/a> from Hudson Catholic (Jersey City, New Jersey) who is a strong distributor and a proven scorer. Defensively, he uses his length well in addition to being a solid rebounders.<\/p>\n<p>The class of 2025 prospect currently holds a strong offer list that includes Columbia, Drake, Fordham, Iona, Lehigh, Old Dominion, UPenn, St. John&#8217;s and La Salle among others.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been in frequent contact with Princeton, Yale and UPenn,&#8221; Moore told USA TODAY High School Sports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Princeton and Yale have made it clear that I am their top priority. Richmond has been in touch with me since November of 2023 and it&#8217;s just been building up a relationship with coach Mark (<a href=\"https:\/\/richmondspiders.com\/sports\/mens-basketball\/roster\/coaches\/mark-mcgonigal\/1044\">assistant coach Mark McGonigal<\/a>) that&#8217;s been cool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another program local to Moore that is showing interest is <a href=\"https:\/\/rutgerswire.usatoday.com\/\">Rutgers<\/a>. With a top-five incoming recruiting class, including <a href=\"https:\/\/usatodayhss.com\/tag\/ace-bailey\">Ace Bailey<\/a> (the No. 1 recruit in the nation <a href=\"https:\/\/usatodayhss.com\/lists\/boys-high-school-basketball-recruiting-2024-top-players\">according to USA TODAY High School Sports<\/a>), Moore sees Rutgers as a potential fit alongside his current offer list.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think playing in any league at the next level is exciting whether it is the Ivy League, Big East or Big Ten,&#8221; Moore said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s exciting but if Rutgers feels as if I&#8217;m a player they want to bring into their program, then that would be a huge honor and that is a great league to play in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Iona is another program that has gotten involved with Moore and kept up in his recruitment. Head coach Tobin Anderson has done a good job in fostering a relationship with Moore.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Iona brought up for a visit and it (has been) amazing ever since we&#8217;ve been in contact,&#8221; Moore said.<\/p>\n<p>As for the summer and potential visits to programs, Moore is low-key in that regard. He hasn&#8217;t mapped anything out yet.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, his focus is to do well on the court and let the recruiting component take care of itself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t have any visits planned yet,&#8221; Moore said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For now, I&#8217;m just focused on improving the areas I need to improve in this AAU season and show everyone that I&#8217;ve been in the gym every day, working on my craft.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Guard Omari Moore talks Ivy League offers, summer plans.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":286601,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386273"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=386273"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":386274,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386273\/revisions\/386274"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/286601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=386273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=386273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=386273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
