One of the nation's top hoopsters is picking a college on Friday ... it'll probably be Mississippi State.
If one is to believe the recent churnings of the rumor mill, there isn't much suspense left to Malik Newman's long-awaited college announcement ceremony, scheduled for noon CT on Friday. According to CBS Sports' Gary Parrish, the McDonald's All American has already made up his mind to attend Mississippi State.
Newman -- the top prospect in Mississippi and the No. 4 overall player in the country -- would have you believe otherwise, telling The Clarion-Ledger on Wednesday that he's still considering four schools: State, Kentucky, Kansas and Ole Miss.
