In this story:

Syracuse basketball signee Elijah Moore put up an eye popping 67 points on senior night as Our Savior Lutheran (OSL) beat Compass 133-86. Moore was an electric 13-19 from three point range on the night. For those counting, that's 68% from beyond the arc in the game. Absolutely insane.

Moore is a 6-4 guard who is considered one of the best shooters in the 2024 recruiting class. With Donnie Forward receiving so many accolades, including becoming a McDonald's All-American and earning a fifth star, Moore has been a bit forgotten in Syracuse's class and he has gone under the radar to some extent as a result. His senior night performance may change that. 

Moore is a consensus four star recruit but his overall ranking is all over the place. 247Sports has him 54th in the class, Rivals has him 53rd. On3, however, ranks him 110th while ESPN has him outside of the top 100 as well. 

The sharpshooter committed to Syracuse in January 2023 and officially signed with the Orange this past November. He picked Syracuse over offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, St. John's, Xavier and others. 

Moore is originally from the Bronx (NY) and played at Cardinal Hayes High School before transferring to OSL for his senior season.

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. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
