I simply don’t get how Syracuse basketball commit Elijah Moore from New York City isn’t included in the latest 2024 national rankings from ESPN.
I mean no disrespect to ESPN and its recruiting director, Paul Biancardi. I’m a big fan of Paul. But in recent days, ESPN updated national ratings of the top-100 prospects in the rising-senior class, and the 6-foot-4 Moore wasn’t included.
ESPN does have him as four stars, with a scout grade of 80. The No. 100 player in ESPN’s 2024 rankings has a scout grade of 82, so perhaps Moore just missed the cut in these ratings.
