Elijah Moore 'Really Excited' For Syracuse Basketball Offer /

Syracuse Orange

Syracuse basketball extended a scholarship offer to 2024 guard Elijah Moore recently. It was Moore's first high major offer, but likely will not be his last. With Orange assistant Allen Griffin in attendance, the 6-4 guard scored 33 points including nine three pointers for WizKids AAU on Sunday. Moore is making the case for one of the better shooters in his class.

Moore was informed on Friday by his AAU coach that Syracuse offered

"When my coach from WizKids got the word, he told me after we finished practicing," Moore said. "Definitely was really excited to hear. Since a little kid, Cuse has always been a place I liked."

Moore plays his high school ball for Cardinal Hayes in the Bronx. He grew up watching the Orange and thinks highly of the program. He believes his skill set combined with Syracuse's playing style would be a strong fit for both sides.

"I liked the play style and the versatility they had through the years of me watching," Moore said.

Moore does not currently have a visit date scheduled, but said he is hopeful he will be able to this summer. Expect the Orange to continue to track Moore moving forward.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more.
