A 6’5 wing from Columbia, Missouri, Mosley made his way to Springfield, opening up his collegiate career at Missouri State. He was a great part of Dana Ford’s first recruiting class with the Bears but would develop into a significant weapon after his freshman season, turning into one of the MVC’s top offensive players.

There was nothing wrong with his 8.3 points per game as a freshman, spending most of that season coming off the bench, but Mosley turned things up a few notches after that. He’d averaged 19.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists as a sophomore, including three 29-point performances against Valparaiso en route to a 3rd place finish for the Bears. Year three was just as potent, as Mosley was above 20 points a game and led Missouri State to 23 wins and a 2nd place MVC finish. He also had a 40-point performance in a great road win at Loyola-Chicago in January.

Mosley was the league’s top scorer as both a sophomore and junior and was clearly voted First Team All-MVC for both of those seasons. He truly emerged as a star while at Missouri State and was also one of the nation’s top free throw shooters during that span. An impressive player across the boards, he actually transferred back home to Missouri following that junior season, putting a pin in his MVC career. However, it was quite the three years with the Bears.
