FAYETTEVILLE — It didn't take former Arkansas basketball commit Reggie Perry to find a new home and it's in the same conference.
Perry (6-10, 225), a five-star prospect per ESPN.com, announced Monday that he had pledged to Mississippi State, where his father Al played his college basketball.
He cited following in his father footsteps as one of the main factors in his decision.
Perry, one of five Arkansas Hawks' 17-and-under teammates committed to Arkansas, de-committed from Arkansas on July 5th with his mom saying it was about his dad's health.
"Unfortunately, due to his father's health, he made the very tough decision to decommit from Arkansas this evening with Coach A," said Kimberli Perry, Reggie's mother.
