He definitely visited, he and his family were walking through McDonough throughout the kenner games one day - I believe it was on August 1, although I could be off on the exact date. That's awesome because he would have had to pass by the construction and scaffolding of the new facility right next to McDonough multiple times. If that doesn't convince him to come then well it's just not meant to be.

If that doesn't convince him to come then well it's just not meant to be. After reading a number of articles over the years on how lacking the facilities are at St. Anthony's, I doubt very much G'town's future training facility is going to be a top reason Mosely will choose the school.. I'd bet the kid is used to making the best of whatever he has to work with.. He's a high academic kid so I love the fact that his parents, both of whom attended UVA were on the visit with him.. I'm sure the staff pushed G'town's academic stature a lot during the visit.. 247sports predicts that Harvard will be his choice however that was prior to his visit to G'town.. This recruitment kinda reminds me of Kaleb's actually, he had William & Mary high on his list before G'town got involved.. From the outside looking in I think the staff has more than a puncher's chance with him..

But if he doesn't want to come here with everything that Georgetown has to offer plus being part of the first class to use the new state of the art facility then it's not meant to be. I do think the new facility could give us the edge. though.

Sounds like it's down to URI, UVA, Harvard and Georgetown. We got in late but have made a hard push the last two weeks. If this happens, gotta give the staff a lot of credit.

According to a few tweets floating around this weekend, there's never been a Hurley to Hurley connection .. If true that suggests to me that Sr. stays out of it.. I will be surprised if he picks URI, this is a kid with over a 4.0 GPA who has schools like Harvard & Northwestern recruiting him hard.. He has offers from Columbia, Penn, Brown, Princeton & Ga Tech ect.. No disrespect to URI but I can't see him choosing URI over his other options.. We'll find out soon enough though, I feel the staff has a great shot.. I think the staff should have got in right after Gibbs verbaled to ND but it is what it is now

Seems like an odd outlier, especially if there's no added father/son connection - which I find hard to believe. Between the Hurley thing and the fact that he was there this weekend (and then quickly declared his announcement time), that makes me think Rhody. But I honestly know zero. Just total circumstantial evidence.

So he visits us, gets an offer, and decides to end his recruitment a week later? That's usually a good sign. With his strength and wingspan, gotta think he's gonna be a very solid defender in college.

I'll guess Gtown or Harvard... HS coaches usually have very little to do with recruiting so I'm not buying the Hurley connection. Nobody on the net knows anything so It's probably the team that's been on him the longest, Harvard. Or a new team swooping in last minute using leverage for a commit (Georgetown) So I'll guess Georgetown because I'm a homer

The pending visits of Jones and Brown may factor in on his decision

You think the fact that they're visiting will steer him away from us or you think the fact that they're visiting might cause him to commit now before his spot gets filled?

Was there a delay? Is there a webstream? ARE THERE BASEBALL CAPS?

Was there a delay? Is there a webstream? ARE THERE BASEBALL CAPS? It just occurred to me. He must've meant twelve o'clock at night. Of course! Why would he have an announcement at noon. I just figured he was a raging alcoholic.
