Class of 2010 recruit Brandon Mobley planning November visit

3-star player is a teammate of David Williams

Along with beginning his final high school basketball season, he will make one of the biggest decisions of his life.

Luckily for him, he's narrowed his choices down to three schools.

Mobley recently announced he had whittled his possible college choices to Cincinnati, South Carolina and IU. He said he plans to visit IU in November and make a decision in that same month, prior to the start of his final season at Windsor Forest.

"I was liking the program when Eric Gordon was playing there," Mobley said of the 2007-08 season. "Then, my old coach is an assistant coach down there. That was just a little icing on the cake for me."

That assistant coach, Roshown McLeod, led the Atlanta Celtics, an AAU team Mobley played with, prior to coming to IU.

If the Atlanta Celtics sound familiar, it's because a player from that AAU team has already committed to IU - David Williams.

Williams, an unranked player IU coach Tom Crean and his staff picked up in April, said he has spoken with Mobley about coming to IU for his collegiate career.

"Of course I try to persuade him to come up there with me," Williams said from Jacksonville, Fla. "He's just weighing his options and taking everything in."

Mobley said he sees the advantages of coming to play with Williams next year.

"If I go there, I won't be by myself," Mobley said. "I'll have someone I know there right off the bat."

Mobley and Williams spent three summers together on the Celtics, Mobley said. Williams said, in that time, his play has been enhanced by Mobley's.

"I feed off his enthusiasm and athleticism," Williams said. "I see us working really good together."

Standing at 6-foot-9 puts a player like Mobley generally around the inside of the court. However, Mobley's AAU coach, Corey Smith, said Mobley has a great perimeter game that makes him a double threat.

"He's multi-skilled with length," Smith said. "He can shoot the ball extremely well."

Mobley said his shooting ability creates mismatches on the court.

"If it's a bigger guy, I could take him on the perimeter," Mobley said. "If it's a smaller guy, I can take him on the post."

Mobley had experience working in a fast-paced game environment this summer with the Celtics.

"We put him in a lot of pick-and-pop situations," Smith said. "We played a lot of transition this year, too, so he was able to get up and down the court and also defend smaller perimeter players."

That style, Mobley said, is what he enjoys. So, for him, it was refreshing to see the style of play Crean implemented with the Hoosiers.

"I was looking at a couple of films on it a few days ago," Mobley said. "He's more of a run-and-gun type ... That's what I'm used to."

As a player, Mobley said he knows there is room for growth. He said ball handling is one of the areas he hopes to improve in before reaching the college level.

At 6-foot-9 and 215 pounds, weight is also an issue.

"He's kind of light," Smith said. "He needs to put on weight and add strength."

As November approaches, Mobley will try to focus on getting his college visits in and developing as a player in those areas.

As far as that November deadline goes, Williams said he likes the Hoosiers' chances at getting another 2010 commit.

"I think it's highly likely," Williams said. "It's very possible"
