I was browsing Rivals' website and I saw an article mentioning a couple of Mississippi basketball prospects for 2011. One of them is LaQuinton Ross, from Jackson, who some are saying is the best prospect in the 2011 class and the other is a guy named Rodney Hood from Meridian. The article says that:
With nearly all of the attention given to super prospect LaQuinton Ross on the MBA Elite team, Rodney Hood will sometimes get overlooked. He shouldn't. Hood has a chance to be five-star level player in the class of 2011.
That would be two five-star caliber basketball players in Mississippi in that class with Ross being a rare talent with a skill set similar to Kevin Durant. I just found that bit of information interesting and begain wishfully thinking that we could land both of those guys (we have verbally offered both). I also realized that they would arrive during Dee Bost's and Romero Osby's Junior season as well as Ravern's Senior year, which I think that adding a couple of talented players like them to the other players could push us over the top, so to speak. But this is all very far away and much can happen between now and then...

Here's the article. The section about those guys is towards the bottom: Link to the Story
