Recruits on the Radar

One of the keys to to landing a top recruit is recruiting them early and often. One of the recurring themes for some of the top quotes from recruits is they started recruiting me my 9th grade year. Recruits like Ravern Johnson and Romero Osby have seen the MSU coaching staff in the stands as early as their 9th grade seasons. Here are some names that are on the radar for the next four years:

Shaunssey Smith 6'5" SG/SF Noxubee County HS- No doubt, the top recruit for the class of 09 in MS and one of MSU's top targets for the 09 class. I think MSU has the inside track on Smith, he is coached by former MSU player T. J. Billips. Shaun is athletic and has a very nice shot. Shaun has been offered by MSU and is getting attention from programs across the nation. Look for Shaun's list to grow over his last two HS seasons. I've seen Shaun at the Hump, so we know he has got a taste of the MSU expierence.

Class of 2010 (will be sophmores in HS)
The Jackson Metro area will be rich in talent for the class of 2010 and should dominate the class of 2010.

Dondrecous Nelson 5'11" PG Murrah
Stephon Smith 6'7" 210 PF Provine
Javerick Nelson 6"6" PF Callaway
Jalen Courtney 6'8" C Provine
Lavadius Williams 5'10" PG Forrest Hill

And last but not least the 9th graders, this is where the coaches lay the groundwork which they hope to hold up for four years until signing day. These players are hitting on the radar for the class of 2011.
