Shakeel Moore - College Basketball News & Rumors

Finding success as role player Moore had six points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Saturday's 84-74 victory over Kansas State.

Impact Since entering the starting lineup back on Jan. 5, Moore has averaged 6.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists across five games. The numbers aren't necessarily eye-popping, and all represent decreases from last year at Mississippi State, but the Jayhawks are still having success with this alignment. They're going 4-1 in games Moore has started, with the only loss coming to currently-projected NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed Iowa State. Moore's ceiling will ultimately be limited with Zeke Mayo and David Coit also vying for minutes at shooting guard, but Moore at least appears to be pulling away from the latter based on the latest playing time trends.

Makes first start in Sunday's win Moore registered six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Sunday's 99-48 win over UCF.

Impact Moore made his first start of the season in this game, taking the spot that had previously been occupied by a combination of David Coit, Rylan Griffen and AJ Storr. The end result was season-best totals in scoring and assists, though the caliber of opponent should be taken into account here. It wouldn't be wise to significantly change expectations for Moore until a more consistent role is established.

Warming up Saturday Moore (ankle) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Oakland, Jack Ritter of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Moore was tabbed as "day-to-day" earlier in the week, so his presence in warmups isn't surprising, although it does mean a positive sign for his potential availability. Moore isn't expected to play a big role if healthy, though, so his fantasy upside is minimal regardless of whether if he plays or not.

Day-to-day Moore (ankle) is "hopefully day-to-day" ahead Saturday's game against Oakland per Bill Self, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Moore, who has missed KU's first three games of the season with an ankle injury, appears to be near a return for the Jayhawks. The 6-foot-1 senior transfer from Mississippi State, who averaged 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals across 33 games with the Bulldogs last season, will look to make his KU debut soon.

Out for showdown with MSU Moore (ankle) won't play against Michigan State, Gary Bedore of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Moore has yet to play this season. The senior guard and Missouri transfer should be a rotational piece who brings moxie and experience to the Jayhawks' back court.

NOVEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out Friday Moore (ankle) will be inactive during Friday's game against the Tarheels, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Moore has yet to practice with the Jayhawks as he works his way back from an offseason ankle injury. The 6-foot-1 senior will have his next opportunity to play against Michigan State on Tuesday, but his expected status is unknown.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In street clothes Monday Moore (ankle) is in street clothes ahead of Monday's game versus Howard, Jack Ritter of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact There was some optimism earlier in the week that Moore would be able to play the opener, but it appears that will not be the case since he's not dressed. The senior's next chance to suit up is Friday versus North Carolina.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Should be available Moore (ankle) should be available for Kansas' game Monday against Howard, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Kansas' head coach Bill Self himself said Moore should be available Monday, which makes his injury status probable for the 2024-25 Jayhawks' opener. Having transferred from Mississippi State without being a shoo-in for a lot of minutes, he will look to prove himself early, and being available is the first step to getting a legitimate role.

NOVEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Injury updated before preseason DNP Moore (ankle) did not play during Kansas' exhibition game Tuesday against Washburn.

Impact Previously described as a foot injury, Moore's now-updated ankle injury ruled him out before the Kansas team logged another exhibition game Tuesday, as confirmed by Gary Bedore of The Kansas City Star. Now, the 2024-25 Jayhawks have completed their preseason schedule. This means Moore's earliest return date is Kansas' regular-season opener, currently scheduled for Monday against Howard.

Sits out exhibition vs. Arkansas Moore (foot) sat out Kansas' exhibition against Arkansas, Isaac Schade of Locked on Heels reports.

Impact Moore underwent foot surgery in September, and was expected to miss 6-8 weeks. Thus, it's no surprise that the guard was unable to play in Kansas' mid-October exhibition. The Mississippi State transfer averaged 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists last season.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes foot surgery Moore (foot) is expected to miss the next 6-8 weeks after he underwent foot surgery on Monday, Gary Bedore of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Moore suffered a broken foot during a pickup game two weeks ago which has required surgery to fix. The 6-foot-1 senior, who joined the Jayhawks this offseason, averaged 7.9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 steals on 23.4 minutes per game with Mississippi State last season. Moore's status for Kansas's game against DII Washburn on Oct. 29, remains up in the air, but the senior guard shouldn't miss many games as a result of the injury, with his return timetable brushing right up against the start of the 2024-25 season.

In midst of down year Moore ended Tuesday's 86-82 loss to Ole Miss with 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and two steals in 35 minutes.

Impact After averaging a career-best 9.8 ppg a season ago, Moore's scoring has taken a bit of a dip, due largely to a more diverse offensive attack. Tuesday was actually his second-best scoring total of the entire year, but also just the eighth time he's reached double figures. His assists are also a bit down from a season ago, but he's still logging 2.0 apg for fantasy managers.

Impact Moore will get his first start of the year Wednesday night in place of Eric Reed Jr. Moore has recently seen a spike in scoring lately, averaging 13.5 points over his last four games. The 6-1 junior's recent play has earned him a look in the starting five and he could remain locked into that role so long as Reed Jr. continues to struggle from the floor.
