Mississippi State men’s basketball’s 2023 class will be getting a late addition as on Monday, four-star point guard Josh Hubbard as the Madison native has decided to stay in-state with the Bulldogs.
The 5-10 guard is the top recruit in Mississippi for the 2023 class, according to 247Sports and is a top-100 recruit overall according to ESPN.
Hubbard, who just finished up his senior season at Madison-Ridgeland Academy, is the all-time leading scorer in Mississippi high school basketball history.
He broke Robert Woodard’s record of 4,274 points on Feb. 17 and became the third player ever in Mississippi to score 4,000 points in a career.
He originally committed to Ole Miss in September 2022 and signed in November, but he decommitted from the Rebels on Feb. 16, before committing to Mississippi State.
Hubbard chose the Bulldogs over LSU, Ole Miss, Houston and Georgetown among other schools.
He’s now the highest-rated recruit in the 2023 class for Chris Jans and the Bulldogs, currently ranked 35th overall according to 247Sports.
