Jonathan "JJ" Moore - SF - Brentwood HS - Brentwood, NY - PITTSBURGH (LOI)

Long Island wing seeing recruiting explode with strong spring for NY Panthers

Who is J.J. Moore?

That is a question being asked by many a fan, recruitnik and college coach this spring as the 6-foot-5, 200-lb small forward from Brentwood High School on Long Island has been having a breakout spring playing with the NY Panthers on the AAU circuit and the tough IS8 Spring League in NYC.

Per Zags- JJ Moore down to StJ, Pitt & Louisville

Long Island wing J.J. Moore has cut his list to three Big East schools after a weekend official visit to Louisville.

“The list is three schools: Louisville, Pittsburgh and St. John’s,” said Gary Charles, Moore’s AAU coach with the New York Panthers. Moore made the trip with Charles and Moore’s mentor, Hunt Bresky.

Charles said Moore, ranked No. 23 among small forwards in the Class of 2010, is tentatively slated to take an official to St. John’s the weekend of Oct. 30 and to Pitt the weekend of Nov. 6.

Florida is out after getting a commitment from Jackson (Tenn.) small forward Casey Prather.

After visiting St. John’s and Pitt, Moore will be ready to announce a decision.

“The goal is for him to see everyone in the same exact element that he saw Louisville in,” Charles said.

How great would it be to land a 2 man class of JJ & Jay P

Apparently he made his decision on his trip to Louisville.

Small forward J.J. Moore of South Kent Prep School in Connecticut visited the University of Louisville last weekend and loved it, the director of his AAU team said. He watched the Cardinals practice and spent time with coach Rick Pitino.

Now the 6-foot-6 player plans to give the other two schools he's considering — Pittsburgh and St. John's — a chance to make a similar impression. He had planned to pick a college after the U of L visit but will postpone the decision until he can see Pitt and St. John's again and watch their practices; he wasn't able to do that in previous visits to those schools.

“He wanted to be fair to everyone else,” said Gary Charles, the director of the AAU New York Panthers. “He wanted to visit the other two schools when he could see them in the same environment (as he saw U of L). Watch the team practice, get to know them a little and just see how things are going to be at that school.

“He loved the visit (to U of L). Because he loved it so much, he felt compelled to visit the other schools again and make sure about his decision.”

Charles said Moore, who is ranked the nation's No. 107 senior by Rivals.com, will visit St. John's next weekend and Pittsburgh on Nov. 6.

So you think he was on the verge of coming here until this?

You got that from my post?  We were in his final 3 and the above article makes it sound like he has made his decision but will finish his visits.  Much stronger than other reports.

JJ will be on campus tomorrow following his game at IS8 which I will be in attendance for

This kid is the real deal. Cmon Norm, lets get him in red and white!

Any chance this kid wants to stay home and play in front of friends and family?  Hopefully Norm works some magic this weekend.

They were behind the scenes according to Zach checking out locker rooms and media. I think thats pretty cool if you ask me. The Knicks though are putrid so if St. John's makes some noise they will be the talk of the town.

So........what's the latest?

JJ Moore has been a busy young man lately taking visits to Louisville, St. John’s, and Pittsburgh in about a 10 day stretch. He really enjoyed all three of his visits and he is going to make his decision in two weeks from Friday according to his mother. “He will be making his decision in two weeks from Friday. We don’t want to make the coaches hold out if they can recruit someone else.”
