Ramone Edward Moore Jr. (born May 27, 1989) is an American professional basketball player for Lietkabelis Panevėžys of the Lithuanian Basketball League. He attended South Philadelphia High School, where he was coached by George Anderson. Moore led the Philadelphia Public League in scoring as a senior and earned Public League MVP honors. He enrolled at Temple as a non-scholarship student and redshirted his freshman year. As a redshirt sophomore, he was the Atlantic 10 Sixth Man of the Year. As a junior, he was an All-Atlantic 10 Second Team selection, and as a senior, he was an All-Atlantic 10 First Team selection.
Moore was born on May 27, 1989 in Philadelphia, the son of Ramone Moore, Sr. and Stephanie Pugh. The younger Moore spent his childhood on the basketball court, playing until nightfall to hone his skills. He attended South Philadelphia High School, the alma mater of basketball players Nate Blackwell and Lionel Simmons. He played on the school basketball team, the Rams, and was coached by George Anderson. As a junior, he was named All-Philadelphia Public League honorable mention.
In Moore's senior year, he led the Public League in scoring with 25.1 points per game and was named Public League Most Valuable Player. He finished his career at South Philadelphia High with 1,186 points. He was on the All-State Second Team and the Philadelphia Daily News named him to their All-City Team. In addition, Moore participated in the All-Star Labor Classic. Hoop Scoop named him the 166th best player in the Class of 2007. On January 9, 2007, Moore committed to Temple University over the University of Nebraska. He said that he originally wanted to move out of the city, but Nebraska was simply too far. Ultimately, his relationship with Temple coach Fran Dunphy, who began recruiting Moore at a summer Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) event, proved to be the deciding factor. Moore said that he "not only know what kind of coach [Dunphy]'s going to be, but he's going to help turn me into a man."
