NCAA Basketball Recruiting: USC and Cal join in on 5-star Moses Moody

NCAA Basketball class of 2020 prospect Moses Moody received three scholarship offers from high-major programs over the weekend.

Moses Moody added to his impressive NCAA Basketball scholarship collection on Saturday with offers from USC, Cal, and Miami (FL). The consensus top 60 2020 prospect now holds 20 offers overall with Florida, Baylor, Arkansas, Florida State, Texas, Stanford, Virginia Tech and Illinois being among the schools that have made overtures.

The 6-6, 185-pound wing is ranked as a four-star prospect by Rivals, 247Sports, and 247Sports Composite. Moody has seen his stock drop in Rivals’ rankings since December, dropping from No. 31 overall to 58 over this period. He is ranked as the 39th best prospect in the country by 247Sports Composite and 38th by 247Sports. ESPN has him ranked 24th and a five-star prospect in their rankings.

Moody possesses good length and an enormous wingspan for a wing. Shooting is the Little Rock (Ark.) native’s strongest asset, although he has shown more explosive athleticism this summer than in the past according to 247 Sports’ Jerry Meyer. He is very good at shooting off the catch and is getting better off the dribble. Moody is also improving as a playmaker and is a solid rebounder.

Moody, who had a strong start to the NBPA Top 100 camp recently, averaged 17.7 points along with 3.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.6 steals in 13 games for Brad Beal Elite in Nike’s EYBL this spring. He shot 44.3% from the floor despite making just 28.4% of his 3-point attempts (21 of 74).

While it is still early in the process for 2020 class members, Arkansas and Florida are currently the favorites to obtain Moody’s services. However, Ohio State is making a strong push and he has relationships with current Buckeyes’ E.J. Liddell and Duane Washington Jr., per Colin-Hass Hill of Eleven Warriors.
