    J.J. Moore, the 6-foot-5 wing out of South Kent (Conn.), is down to four schools, according to his AAU coach, Gary Charles.

    St. John’s, Pittsburgh, Louisville and Florida are the Final Four for Moore, an athletic wing who lives in Brentwood, N.Y.

    Moore will tentatively visit Louisville Oct. 16 and Florida Oct. 23. He has already taken unofficials to St. John’s and Pittsburgh.

    Moore’s mentor, Hunt Bresky, said there were no additional plans to visit St. John’s or Pittsburgh going forward.

    “I think he can be really good,” said South Kent coach Kelvin Jefferson. “He’s got great size, a great physique. He’s very athletic and he can shoot the ball. He can do a lot of different things. He can finish around the rim. He can catch off penetration and make threes.”

    JOHNSON TO PITT

    Pittsburgh got a commitment from 2011 point guard John Johnson out of Girard College, who chose the Panthers over St. Joseph’s, St. John’s, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, and Penn State, according to the Philly Inquirer.

    “I think that could be my home away from home,” the 6-foot-1 Johnson told the Inquirer. “I like their style of play, and it’s not too far from home that my family can’t see me play.”

    Johnson averaged 21.3 points, 5.5 assists, and 3.4 steals and was named third-team all-Southeastern Pennsylvania.
