FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball head coach Jon Coffman has announced three additions to the Mastodon program. EJ Mosley, Jaiden Arnold and Quentin Morgan have signed to join the 'Dons in 2025-26.
"I'm ecstatic about our 2025 recruiting class of EJ Mosley, Jaiden Arnold and Quentin Morgan," Coffman said. "Our program has been built on gym rats that love to play and are obsessed with their player development coupled with versatile skill sets. All three are versatile players that are a great fit with how we play the game with pace and space."
EJ Mosley (6'0" | guard | Chicago, Ill. | St. Laurence High School)
Mosley is returning to St. Laurence to play his senior year after having an outstanding junior year at Romeoville High School. While at Romeoville he was first team all-conference and an all-state performer while averaging just under 20 points a game. He has already scored 1,000 points in his high school career. His high school coach is Roshawn Russell.
He played AAU this past summer for Y&R and coach Jay Brim, making multiple all-tournament teams. Mosley is regarded as the top point guard in the state of Illinois by multiple scouting services.
Coffman on Mosley: "EJ is another Chicago native that joins a long list of successful 'Dons from his hometown (John Konchar, Joe Edwards, Xzavier Taylor, Rasheed Bello, Anthony Roberts). EJ is an intense competitor that fits with our style of play and is obsessed with player development! He makes those around him better, lives in the paint and can really, really pass the basketball! We are extremely excited about his ability to play in transition, create for other off ball screens and raise the intensity of those around him."
Jaiden Arnold (6'1" | guard | Cincinnati, Ohio | Cincinnati Aiken High School)
Arnold is the reigning Cincinnati Metro Athletics Conference Player of the Year after averaging 16 points and 4.8 assists per game as a junior. He was also first team all-district, second team all-Southwest Ohio, and honorable mention-all state. His high school coach is Derrell Black.
This past summer he played AAU with Midwest Basketball Club Gold for Coach Dustin Kavanaugh. Arnold helped Cincinnati Aiken to an 8-2 conference record, their best finish in the past decade.
Coffman on Arnold: "Jaiden is a gym rat who is obsessed with player development. He committed early last season because Jaiden, his family, his coaches and our coaching staff recognized what a great fit we were for each other both on-and-off the court. Our playing style will put Jaiden in a great position to excel at the collegiate level where he is exceptional in transition! Jaiden is extremely efficient in ball screens, lives in the paint, can really, really pass the ball and has the capability to score it in bunches. We are really excited about his ability to make his teammates better around him."
Quentin Morgan (6'9" | post | Glen Allen, Virginia | Deep Run High School)
Morgan is beginning his senior campaign at Deep Run high school in Glen Allen, Virginia where he had a breakout junior campaign. Last season he averaged a double-double with 10 points and 10.5 rebounds a game. He was top five in rebounding in the state of Virginia. He was an All-Region player as a junior. His high school coach is Doug Bibby.
This past summer he played AAU he played for Team Loaded 804 and Coach Riley Highfill. He was an outstanding performer at the NCAA Academy in July - a nominated only event for rising seniors.
Coffman on Morgan: "Quentin and his family recognized the fit of our academics, culture and obsession with player development early in our recruiting process. The power of our degree and our commitment to building a program that is more than just basketball has attracted terrific players nationally over our staff's tenure. Quentin is another example coming from Richmond, Virginia. He fills up the stat sheet, averaging a double-double as a junior. We love his athleticism, versatility and skill coupled with his size as well as his commitment to player development."
The Mastodons are 2-1 in 2024-25 and host Southern Indiana on Saturday.
