Mosley makes the grade
Here’s some extremely good news for Terps basketball fans -- St. Frances shooting guard Sean Mosley has been accepted to the University of Maryland "based on a review of his newly improved transcript," according to TurtleSportsReport.com.
TSR’s Jeff Ermann spoke to Mosley about the news.
“It’s a really good feeling for me because a lot of guys thought that I couldn’t make it. I just proved people [wrong] who were saying that I couldn’t make it,” said Mosley, a 6-foot-4 guard from St. Frances Academy in Baltimore who is rated the No. 41 player in the national Class of 2008.
“I just looked around, and you see who your friends are, really,” Mosley said. “It was motivation for me to go out and do what it took to get the job done, but at the same time, there’s nothing that I have to prove to anyone except myself and my family and my coaches. Gary Williams and Keith [Booth], they knew I could do it. They were the motivation for me.”
Mosley still must pass through the NCAA clearinghouse, but as Kathleen Worthington, Maryland's senior associate athletic director, told The Sun’s Don Markus last week, that shouldn’t be a problem.

Matt,
So what news are we waiting on now? Just Goins getting through the clearing house as well? I read that Jin Soo Kim is officially a terp for this season. That is correct?

Ryan -- You're correct on Goins. I'm not sure if Kim is quite done yet, but I think it's just a matter of time.

What's the scoop on Goins?New name for me,haven't really heard much about him.And if Kim is eligible for 2008/2009,that's a big plus and things don't look quite so bleak at Garyland.

Burt -- Steve Goins is a center from Chicago. This link explains his academic situation. Here's a link to his Scout.com profile. He just needs to get through the NCAA Clearinghouse.
