Khavon Moore, from top-ranked Westside-Macon (8-3, 4-1), has become one of the most sought-after juniors in the nation. Moore is listed as the No. 8 recruit nationally and the top recruit in Georgia for the class of 2018.
The 6-foot-8 junior is shooting 43 percent from the floor and has averaged 20.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.
Moore, who is undecided about where he wants to play college ball, has received offers from Georgia Tech, Georgia, FSU and Auburn.
"Right now, I don't have any top schools," Moore told 24/7Sports.com. "I'm just going around, looking, seeing and taking everything in."
While Moore is considered one of the top recruits in Class AAA, there are other top boys and girls in the classification who are turning heads:
Boys
