David Moses, an 18-year-old forward-center who spent the past three seasons rising through Ramat Hasharon's junior and senior ranks, is on his way to Florida Atlantic University, according to a report by ONE.
The 2.10-metre (6-foot-11) prospect wrapped up his youth league campaign with numbers that marked him as one of the most closely watched teenagers in Israeli basketball, then used a strong late-season audition with Ramat Hasharon's senior team to put an exclamation point on his final months at home.
In the Israeli youth Super League, Moses averaged 24.1 points and 11.4 rebounds over 18 games, shooting an efficient 62.6% on two-point attempts and 40.4% from three-point range — a shooting split that is rare for a player his size.
Head coach Gai Kantor folded him into Ramat Hasharon's senior rotation as the club pushed through the National League playoffs, and Moses answered with 9.5 points and 4.7 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game across 16 senior appearances.
His role grew as the games mattered more. Over Ramat Hasharon's final four league fixtures he produced 14.3 points and 7.5 rebounds in just over 20 minutes a night, and he peaked with 21 points and 13 rebounds in a playoff outing against Nahariya.
That combination — a near-seven-footer capable of stepping outside and shooting it, with the physicality to compete against grown men in a senior professional league — is precisely what has made his profile a magnet for interest from American programs, ONE reports.
Florida Atlantic, an American Athletic Conference program based in Boca Raton that reached the Final Four in 2023, would give Moses a pathway to high-level US college competition and more exposure to NBA scouts than Israel's domestic system typically offers at his age. The move has not yet been confirmed publicly by the university itself.
Moses fits a pattern that has become familiar in Israeli basketball's current generation, with teenage prospects increasingly opting for American college programs rather than staying in the domestic system through their draft-eligible years.
For Ramat Hasharon, his departure closes out a rapid three-year development arc that began when he joined the club with limited competitive experience between ninth and tenth grade, and ends with him regarded as one of the most promising talents to come through the Israeli junior pipeline in years.
