Rutgers commit Braeden Moore decommits 2 weeks before signing day

By ADAM ZAGORIA

In a blow to Steve Pikiell’s recruiting class at Rutgers, Braeden Moore announced Friday he is decommitting two weeks before the NCAA Early Signing Period and transferring to Kanye West’s Donda Academy near Los Angeles.

After much prayer and conversations with my coaches and family, I’m excited to announce that I will attend Donda Academy for my senior year. I have also made the decision to re-open my recruitment. #Decommitted pic.twitter.com/GuH6iMjRdo

The 6-foot-8, 210-pound power forward from Christ Presbyterian (TN) Academy and the Next Page Force AAU Program committed to Rutgers back in July.

“The coaching staff (was a deciding factor),” Moore told ZAGSBLOG then. “And God opening doors for me and making it clear for me and my family.”

Moore was Rutgers’ first 2022 commit. Since then they added point guard Derek Simpson, a two-star prospect from Lenape (NJ) High and Antwone Woolfolk, a two-star forward from Cleveland (OH) Brush.
