Mississippi State basketball hasn’t yet played on the court, but the Bulldogs are already picking up wins.

The Bulldogs received a commitment Tuesday from four-star power forward Jamarion Davis-Fleming, according to On3.com. Davis-Fleming picked Mississippi State over LSU, Ole Miss and James Madison.

A 6-foot, 9-inch senior at Canton (Miss.) High School is the No. 98 overall player in On3’s 2025 rankings and the No. 1 ranked player in Mississippi in the 2025 On3 150.

He joins a Mississippi State class that already features three-star wing Cameren Paul, four-star guard King Grace, and JUCO big man Chol Machot.

“Tracked a raccoon one time in the snow. I was in the neighborhood and I was just curious where this raccoon lived. There's some fresh raccoon tracks. He'd been digging at somebody's garbage.”
