Elijah Moore, the 6-foot-3, 4-star shooting guard from Cardinal Hayes High School in The Bronx, will announce his college choice on Saturday.
Ranked the No. 13 shooting guard in the Class of 2024 by 247Sports.com, Moore is considering Alabama, Arkansas, Miami, Oklahoma State and Syracuse, with the Orange considered the favorite.
He has taken officials to Syracuse and Oklahoma State.
He previously broke down his top 5 for ZAGSBLOG:
Alabama: “They just want to win and send kids to the pros. I want to be a pro. They talk to me about their belief in me and what I can do. I really love the school’s environment and can’t wait to get out there to see what’s up. Coach Bryan (Hodgson) is a cool guy who gives a certain energy that I can feed off.”
Arkansas: “The coaching staff is amazing. They all check on me constantly. Tell me about their games and show much love. They are sending players to the league and putting their players in a position to be successful which I love.”
Miami: “Miami has a great style of play. They let their guards play free and make their own decisions. Talked to coach plenty of times and they seem like really cool people. I want to visit but I got to see how it pans out.”
Oklahoma State: “Most of their coaches are from NY and they have really good energy. They have a family-oriented feeling and I like that. There isn’t much to do out there but get better and do what I have to do.”
Syracuse: “Syracuse feels great. I’ve been there twice and the experience was great. The coaches are really cool guys and they have that level of support and knowledge I can see myself playing with in two years.”
