It is no secret that Ben Howland is one of the elite basketball recruiters in all of the nation. The long time coach knows the ins and outs of recruiting and is able to sell his vision to the most elite prospects around the country.
Since arriving to Mississippi State, Howland has landed two-five stars and a boat load of four-star prospects. Malik Newman and Mario Kegler didn’t exactly work out, but every other blue chip prospect that he has signed is still on the roster. Quinndary Weatherspoon as an All-SEC selection last season, Lamar Peters was named an All-SEC Freshman, and five-star combo guard Nick Weatherspoon will enroll this month.
