Fifth Year Moten Has a Favorite in ACC
After first committing to Western Michigan, Brian Moten, a 6-foot-5, 175-pound wing player decided to transfer to Cincinnati Christian Center Academy in Cincinnati, Ohio, for a fifth year. Now Moten has an ACC school at the top of his list.
“I’m considering Virginia, UNLV, Kansas State, Bowling Green, Florida State, San Francisco, and Auburn,” said Moten. “Virginia is definitely my leader. I’ve been offered from Bowling Green, but I think a few others are close to offering.”

Concerning his favorite, Moten had these comments.
"It’s a good opportunity to play in the best conference in America,” he said. “They also have the best African American graduation rate in the country. I want to major in International Business, and they have a good program."
Although not his favorite, Bowling Green has made a favorable impression on Moten.
“I went on an unofficial visit to Bowling Green this weekend. I like it a lot,” he said. “I like Coach Dan Dakich a lot. He's a intense coach and an plays up tempo style like I prefer to play. I had a chance to go to a football game and that was a lot of fun."
Bowling Green also spent some time with Moten on an in-home visit last week. Virginia, UNLV, and San Francisco are all coming in this week for in-home visits.
Moten is planning on taking at least two official visits.
"I will probably taking an official visit to Virginia this weekend and to Bowling Green the following week,” he said. “After that I’m not sure who I will visit."
Last season Moten averaged 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists per game for Arthur Hills High School in Saginaw, Mich., while finishing fifth in the Mr. Basketball balloting. Since the end of last season, Moten has worked hard on developing his perimeter skills for the college level.
"I’ve really improved my passing and rebounding since transferring to Cincinnati Christian Center Academy,” he said. “The main thing I want to work on is my ball handling. I want to be able to play the one through the three when I get to college."
