Put in a futurecast for Mississippi State to land Madison-Ridgleand Academy 4-star PG Josh Hubbard. He was released from his Letter of Intent to Ole Miss this morning.

He heavily considered State the first time through, but ultimately his long standing relationship with Kermit Davis won out. Now, Davis is gone and Jans should have the upper hand here.

A look right here:

Both Theodore (Ala.) CB Will James and Lawrence County (Miss.) DL Jonathan Davis are slated to sign at 10 am.

I expect to see good news on James and I put a futurecast in for him earlier today.

Davis is still unsure of his final move as of earlier tonight. He is leaning towards State but he admitted he won’t know for sure until he picks up the hat.

My futurecast remains on State. I placed that before he received his Ole Miss offer and I think this could go either way right now.

We have media availability with assistant coaches at 10 and Zach Arnett at 11, so hopefully the paperwork will be in if they do commit to State so we can gather their thoughts.
