Injury postpones visits, commit date for four-star Khavon Moore

The recruitment of Khavon Moore may bleed on for another few weeks. Originally planning a Feb. 2 commitment, the top-50 senior from Geoergia has decided to postpone his college decision after suffering a broken leg.

A member of the Rivals150 and a strong four-star prospect, Moore remains one of the top seniors available this winter. After becoming his Westside High’s all-time leading scorer at over 2,000 points, Moore injured his leg, which changed his travel plans.

“I am not able to travel on any official visits because of the broken leg,” he said. “I have to reschedule my visits and my announcement. I have a cast on my leg until Feb. 8 and then I will be able to travel.”

Moore took an official visit to Florida in the fall, but the Gators are no longer in contention for his commitment. College interest has not been lacking though, as Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Tennessee and Mercer have remained in touch the most often, he said. Along with those five, Virginia Tech and Illinois are two others working their way into the picture.

Moore, a super versatile wing that can play anywhere from the one through the four on the offensive end, is valued for his playmaking skills and long-term potential as a multi-positional defender. He has become a better jump shooter in recent months while continuing to shine as a rebounder and creator for others.

Spending an official visit to Texas Tech was on the docket for this weekend, but with the injury, things have been put on hold. Oklahoma, Ohio State, Tennessee and Mercer could be in line for an official visit before things come to a close, as the Hokies and Illini attempt to nudge their way into the mix.
