WASHINGTON - Georgetown University Head Men's Basketball Coach John Thompson III announced today that Moses Ayegba will be withheld from the first nine contests of the season due to NCAA pre-enrollment rules. "Before we began recruiting Moses, before he enrolled in high school here, it turns out his ticket to come to this country was paid for by someone who was not a member of his immediate family. Because of this the NCAA has ruled that he is ineligible for the first 9 contests. We're disappointed that the NCAA rejected our appeal of this ruling."

Ayegba, a 6-8.5, 250lb. Center from Kano, Nigeria played at Progressive Christian High School in Maryland. While there he averaged 15 points, 16 rebounds and 12 blocks per game.
