10/22/07: "J'Mison Morgan, a 6-10 senior center from Dallas South Oak Cliff High, told Rivals.com he had fun on his official visit to Cincinnati over the weekend. He now has completed his NCAA-allotted five visits: to KU, Cincy, UCLA, LSU and Alabama. "It's a nice campus," Morgan said of Cincy. "Everything is real close together, and I was able to watch the team practice and hang out with the players. Coach (Mick) Cronin was telling me I should be an automatic force if I work hard, and there should be immediate playing time. I want to get minutes my freshman year but I don't have to start." Morgan will announce his college choice on his birthday, Nov. 2." - LJWorld.com

05/13/07: "J'Mison Morgan is a 6-foot-10-inch high school center from Dallas who completed his junior season with scholarship offers from Georgia Tech, Kansas, Georgetown and Nebraska. He was generally considered a Top 100 player at a premium position, but nothing extraordinary. After Morgan's South Oak Cliff prep season ended, he joined Dallas-based DFW Urban, which plays a national AAU schedule.
In a recent four-week stretch, Morgan played in Houston's Kingwood Classic, the Tennessee Prairie Land Tournament, Illinois' Run N' Slam Tournament and the Dallas Next Level Invitational. Recruiters and scouts have a three-word term for what happened to Morgan: He blew up. Arizona offered Morgan a scholarship. So did UCLA and Alabama. Morgan is now a Top 50 player on every school's must-have list." - Arizona Daily Star

10/15/06: Visted Kansas for Midnight Madness.

01/27/06: "This big body is one of the best center prospects in the 2008 class. He takes up a lot of space in the lane and uses his size to control the boards. He was blocking shots, finishing post moves, and making some nice dunks when we saw him. Played Anthony Randolph very tough. Borderline top 50 player in the 2008 class and rising." - CHN

01/26/06: "Morgan is a wide bodied youngster, with an advanced post game. Moves better than you’d think for a kid with his size and youth. Does a good job running the floor and showed a lot of effort and desire. Should be a heavily recruited prospect over the next couple of years, as guys with his size and ability tend to be in short supply. Reminds us a little of Andrew Bynum early in his high school career." - Bob Gibbons
