GREENBELT, Maryland -- Eleanor Roosevelt senior Emmanuel Matey spent part of spring break discussing his plans for next year with his family, and late in the week, the 6-foot point guard offered an oral commitment to play at Morgan State, accepting his first and only Division I scholarship offer.With Morgan State Coach Todd Bozeman headed to Atlanta for the Final Four, Matey had to delay his official visit to the Mid Eastern Athletic Conference school last week. But he expects to take the short trip to Baltimore sometime in the next two weeks and make his pledge official when the regular signing period begins on April 17.
Though Matey, who helped the Raiders win the Maryland 4A title last month, had been in contact with Towson, Cornell and American, none of those schools had yet come through with a firm offer.
A transfer who played at McNamara and North County last year, he had several Division II opportunities, but Morgan State stood out from the pack with its recruiting efforts. Bozeman personally attended a handful of Eleanor Roosevelt games, including the Feb. 28 win at DuVal after which he extended the scholarship offer.
