OSU is in the final group of contenders to secure a commitment from four-star Bronx native Elijah Moore, a 2024 shooting guard who on Saturday is expected to make his college decision. Moore is a top-100 talent considering OSU along with other finalists of Arkansas, Alabama, Syracuse and Miami.
Syracuse is the current crystal ball favorite to keep Moore within the state walls after picking up recent traction for him among industry insiders. Ditto on Rivals, where the Orange are also considered heavy favorites. But OSU did land him on campus for an official visit, something no other school outside Syracuse can claim.
