Thijin Moses

[Versacetheace]

New Article on Scout about Thijin Moses and Bradley in Pursuit. I see where Scout has him listed as #93 Recruit in the nation in 2006. Does anybody know if he is close to qualifying?
This is a pay article:

Thanks, and this is really interesting.
The other thread going currently is about the Canadian kid, Marvell Waithe, and a couple different recruiting articles I have seen have compared Waithe and Moses as being very similar players.
Both are 6'8", can shoot the three, and can score well.

Here is what the scout article says:
"According to Boys to Men coach Loren Jackson, Thijin Moses, a 6-foot-8 unsigned senior forward, is looking at Bradley and also fielded a call from new Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin."

As I have said all along, I don't care where they come from as long as they legitimately qualify academically, and can help us win. Both guys sound like perimeter players that could help us.

2 BTM players on the same college team? That would be something, especially if they both qualified.

I'm sure Jassey would like another African native on the team who's bounced around from high school to high school. They probably have a lot in common!

I have been hearing that Bradley was going hard after Moses, but most of the reports have had DePaul as the frontrunner for him.

Thijin Moses is also a Canadian kid (he is originally from Sudan). He is from Calgary, Alberta. He was a senior in high school there in 2003-2004. He transferred to Chicago Julian high school in March of 2004, and was reclassified as a junior and played a year for Loren Jackson, who now runs the Boys to Men Academy. His senior year, he then transferred to Boys to Men.

His transfer raised some eligibility issues at Julian--

I wonder how close he is to XC........this could sway the vote!

WOW. Thijin Moses sounds like a perfect fit for our needs. If we could land him it'd be huge.

Some talk on campus of a couple visitors this weekend one of whom might well be Thijin Moses.

Keep us updated 99!

Here is a long video clip of Thijin Moses when he was playing high school ball in Calgary, Alberta (Canada). He transferred his junior year from St. Marys HS in Calgary to Julian HS in Chicago where he played last year, then to BTMA this year.

We show some love to Thijin Moses, the 6'7" guard from Calgary, AB, as his game heads south to the windy city...

He looks incredibly athletic and a fairly good ball handler.

He is now listed at 6'9" on the ChicagoHoops.com website, and appears to have gained some weight.

Moses is one of only a handful of Top 100 seniors that have not yet committed.

Thanks DC..........that was fun to watch..........man is he long or what........and moves really well for his size! The rivals site has him with 4 stars!

Thijin Moses played with his AAU team last night, the Chicago Jaguars. He scored 11 points in a game in Munster, Indiana against a new AAU team, CAPS (Coaching Advanced Professional Skills) All-Stars as the Chicago Jaguars won 96-90. Most of the players on the Jaguars are from Boys to Men Academy, and Moses' tammate Michael Glover was the leading scorer with 26 points.

If the news is right and Bradley is out on Waithe, is there any new news on Moses. I would love to get one of the two of them because I think that would create huge matchup issues if he played at the same time as POB and possibly (hopefully) Sikes ... I don't think he nor Waithe will have a huge impact right away nor do I think that there are any huge impact players that are still out there, but with a complete season under there belts either could be a huge addition come next March.

Thijin Moses' problem seems to lie with his eligibility and the NCAA Clearinghouse. DePaul apparently is still recruiting him and hoping he can become eligible. Here is a discussion from the DePaul message board.

Scholarships Available?

How do we sign this kid if we have no scholarships left? Are we talking about using POB's? And, if so, do we really think a top-rated recruit like Moses will wait around until after the NBA draft to commit?

Maybe it's one of the current players? Maybe Danny Adams will get POBs?
