Missouri State transfer Isiaih Mosley is creeping up on a decision after a visit to Mississippi State last weekend. The No. 1 prospect in the transfer portal at the moment is also looking at Kansas for a visit, Mosley told Stadium’s Jeff Goodman on Monday.

Last season, Mosley was one of only three DI players in the previous 20 years to shoot 50-percent from the field, 40-percent from three, and 90-percent from the free-throw line while averaging 20 points per game.

One could argue that the Missouri State junior was the best scorer in college basketball. Certainly, the numbers would back him in any discussion that includes both volume and efficiency.

Coming out of Columbia (MO) Rock Bridge High, Isiaih Mosley had offers from Tulsa, Bradley, Mississippi State, and Southeast Missouri, among others. Still, he chose to stay close to home and attend Missouri State.

Mosley was first-team All-Missouri Valley (MVC) each of the last two seasons. He led the MVC in scoring both years. He also finished top-ten in the conference in rebounds and steals per game.

Bill Self not a fan of current transfer portal climate

Although he’ll definitely play the game, Jayhawks head coach Bill Self is not a fan of the current transfer process, as he made clear to a reporter last month.

“I think it’s bad. In theory, it’s good — freedom of movement. I think sometimes it gives young people a way out without trying to fight through some things. Coaches can move. In theory, kids should be able to move but it’s out of control right now,” Self said.

While looking for a potential new home, Mosley is also testing the NBA Draft waters. He will most likely keep his name in the draft until the June 1 deadline to withdraw. He will go through the workouts and take away all of the information and feedback he can get from the experience to decide whether to return to school or stay in the draft. He did not make the list for the NBA Combine, which came out last week.
