The Mississippi State basketball program is set to welcome a new addition in the form of former Boston College guard, Claudell Harris. His NIL agent, Noah Reisenfled, has confirmed to ESPN that Harris will be joining Mississippi State. Standing at 6-foot-3, Harris had a successful season at Boston College, averaging 13.7 points per game. His impressive performance has captured the attention of the Mississippi State basketball program, and they are eager to integrate him into their team.
Harris has had a noteworthy basketball career thus far, commencing at Charleston Southern where he spent two seasons. During his time with the Charleston Southern Buccaneers, he made an impact by averaging 13.4 points and 4.1 rebounds per game over two seasons. In his second year, he further elevated his game, achieving an impressive 17.4 points per contest.
Following his tenure at Charleston Southern, Harris transitioned to Boston College, where he started 28 out of 35 games played last season. This talented guard showcased his scoring ability by achieving a career-high 29 points in a game against Lehigh. His capacity to contribute both on the scoreboard and in rebounding makes him a valuable asset to the Mississippi State basketball roster.
Harris, who hails from Hahnville, Louisiana, honed his skills at Hahnville High School. Despite being unranked as a prospect in the 2021 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports Composite ranking, he has proven himself on the court and secured his position at the collegiate level.
Head coach of Mississippi State, Chris Jans, has been actively bolstering the team’s roster through the transfer portal. The acquisition of Harris comes in the wake of former Penn State guard Kanye Clary committing to Mississippi State. With these new additions, Coach Jans is striving to fortify the team and compete at the highest level.
In addition to the signing of Harris, the Mississippi State basketball program has also secured the commitment of Miami transfer Michael Nwoko. This influx of new talent is shaping the team for the upcoming season, generating buzz among fans and supporters.
