Here's what 247Sports recruiting analyst Brandon Jenkins had to say about Moseley as a recruit:
"Moseley was one of high school basketball's biggest stock risers this past summer as he added a level of aggression that has elevated his production on both ends of the floor. Undersized at the four-spot, Moseley has a college-ready frame that still has room to cultivate. He understands the importance of rebounding, plays with explosion in tight spaces, and shows great touch in soft spot mid-range areas on the floor. Growing up, Moseley was trained as a guard so he has terrific potential as a reliable inside-out threat moving forward. He is more than capable of taking the game into his own hands and leading the break after securing a defensive rebound. Kyle Neptune is getting the prototyical forward that the program has had success with over the past decade. His decision to choose Villanova projects to be a great match for both parties."
