Report: Top transfer Isiaih Mosley choosing between two SEC programs

Missouri State superstar transfer and On3’s No. 1 player in college basketball’s transfer portal — Isiaih Mosley — is down to two teams, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

“Sources: Missouri State transfer Isiaih Mosley has cut his list to the following programs,” tweeted Rothstein. “Missouri, Mississippi State.”

Widely considered one of, if not the best scorer in college basketball today, Mosley’s portal recruitment has been tied to programs such as Mississippi State, Missouri, Kansas and Texas Tech since entering the portal last month, but he’s down to his final two.

Moreover, Kansas went and signed the No. 8 transfer in wing Kevin McCullar, and Texas Tech reportedly passed on Mosley’s services. Instead, Mosley took a visit to Mississippi State earlier this month and seem poised to land his services, though Missouri is still a strong possibility.

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. While at Missouri State, he 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.

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.

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.
