The 'no-update' update

Gotten a lot of Mojo-related questions over the last two weeks and frankly I'm a bit surprised he hasn't announced his new school quite yet. He seems to be conflicted about playing close to family — Vermont is less than two hours from his home in Montreal — and the lure of a bigger conference at Rhode Island.

Talking to someone close with the MSU program the other day, they believe Mojo will end up at Vermont when things finally shake out, and that Vermont is the best situation for him. I don't believe the delay means he's headed back to MSU in any way, shape or form. The Spartan program won't turn its back on Joseph, but the bottom line is he won't be in the rotation next year if he remains a Spartan. If he transfers, sure he'll sit out but he'll also have two more years to play, two years to pursue a masters degree (on whatever school he picks), and the possibility that he can be the man — or a solid contributor, at least — on a tournament-caliber team.

With the summer recruiting period just around the corner, the coaches at both Vermont and Rhode Island are getting impatient (they're calling and emailing people close to Mojo to inquire about his decision). The process has dragged on far too long already, and my gut tells me he'll settle on a school this weekend or early next week.
