It was tough to hear, he showed up to many of the mome basketball games last year and we were all hoping he had beaten his disease. Great young man,wish the best for his family.

I recall seeing his story during a telecast last year, and was left with the impression that this was a tremendous tragedy. Cancer is terrible period, but there's something doubly disturbing about a young athlete who gets wiped out like this.

Peace and blessings to him and his family.

I hope the team is able to rally around this misfortune and make it as positive as possible. Maybe they will dedicate this season to the young man and play every game for him. :angel:

Funeral Services For Bradley Mosley Planned For Friday & Saturday


TAMPA, Fla. – Funeral services for University of South Florida men’s basketball player Bradley Mosley, who passed away Oct. 29 at the age of 22 after a year-long battle with cancer, will be held this weekend.

The wake will be hosted at the RJ Hendley Christian Education Center (2800 Avenue R) in Riviera Beach, Fla., on Friday, Nov. 4, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Mosley’s service will take place at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 5, at Orthodox Zion Primitive Church (2900 N. Australian Ave.) in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Mosley’s courageous battle against the rare disease came to an end at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach, Fla., early Saturday morning. He was admitted to the hospital on Thursday, Oct. 27. Mosley is survived by his eight-month-old daughter Arianna Mosley; mother, Lisa Ferguson; sister, Breona Mosley; and brother, Eddie Adams.

Mosley was diagnosed last fall with renal medullary carcinoma, a rare form of cancer. Although living at home, he had been receiving treatment at the Moffitt Cancer Center on USF’s campus.

Mosley arrived in Tampa prior to the 2003-04 campaign after a pair of seasons at Daytona Beach Community College. He was the only player to start in each of the team’s games that season and played all 40 minutes in 12 of the final 14 contests. He concluded the year second on the team in scoring (14.6 ppg.) and netted a career-high 30 points in a victory over Southern Miss.

High Flight

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds -- and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there.
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft though footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.


John Gillespie Magee Jr.

In December 1941, Pilot Officer John G. Magee, a 19-year-old American serving with the Royal Canadian Air Force in England, was killed when his Spitfire collided with another airplane inside a cloud. Several months before his death, he composed his sonnet "High Flight," a copy of which he fortunately mailed to his parents in the U.S.A.

While normally associated with the aviation community, it also seems appropriate for those that play "above the rim".

sorry to hear.... Very sad to see someone go so young.... prayers going out to his family...

My condolences to everyone. That is awful to think someone my age has passed away from cancer no less.

That's sad news. Prayers and hope for your team and his family.

GOD Bless Him and his family. Please watch over that 8 month old gift of joy. :angel:

My condolances for his team and family on their loss.
