I hate to keep doing this, because I’ve never seen these guys play and I could be wrong, but it looks like Pete Gillen has landed another middling prospect. Unranked prospect Brian Moten commmitted to the Virginia Cavaliers this weekend.
Moten had good numbers in his senior year in Michigan, averaging 28 points, five boards and four assists and finished fifth in Mr. Basketball voting.
The catch is that he originally committed to play this season for Western Michigan. Moten wasn’t able to fulfill NCAA academic requirements though, and will go to prep school this year.
To repeat, Gillen signed a guy who was going to go to Western Michigan and who has academic problems.
I hope Gillen knows what he’s doing and this works out. It doesn’t look good though.
