Mississippi State adds former Boston College guard, Claudell Harris Jr., to strengthen its backcourt, marking the Bulldogs' third transfer of the offseason and further bolstering the team's roster under coach Chris Jans.

By the Numbers
  • Harris Jr. averaged 13.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game at Boston College.
  • He attempted nearly seven threes per game, making them at a 37% clip.
  • Against Lehigh, he scored a season-high 29 points, knocking down seven threes.
State of Play
  • Harris Jr. provides the team with another strong three-point shooter and better size in the backcourt, addressing significant holes at guard left by previous player departures.
  • With three scholarships still available, the team needs to add a small forward and another center to complete the roster.
What's Next

The team still needs to add a small forward and another center to fill the remaining scholarships.

Bottom Line

The addition of Claudell Harris Jr. strengthens Mississippi State's backcourt and provides much-needed perimeter scoring, setting the stage for further enhancements to the team's roster.
