Maurice Mobley leaves USF basketball program  

TAMPA, Fla. (Monday, Nov. 15)  Maurice Mobley, a junior guard, has left the USF basketball program for personal reasons.

“Maurice Mobley made a decision to leave the basketball program,†said USF coach Robert McCullum. “He indicated that he was struggling balancing both academics and basketball and as a result chose to focus on the academic side. While Maurice made a great deal of progress on the basketball court, we certainly respect his wishes and wish him well in his future endeavors. Maurice will remain on scholarship through the fall semester of the 2004-05 academic year.â€Â

A native of Andress, Texas, Mobley averaged 12.1 points and 8.8 rebounds a year ago for Parkland College in Champaign, Ill., helping his team to a 23-10 record in 2003-04.

that sucks, but at least he chose the correct side for his future... if you have to pick one, pick the books.
