It’s been a wild ride for Mississippi State forward D.J. Jeffries. Entering his senior season of college basketball, the former five-star recruit was John Calipari’s first commitment in the class of 2019, choosing the Wildcats back in March of 2018. He then became Calipari’s first decommitment, backing away from his pledge four months later in July.
Jeffries then committed to Memphis in October, joining Penny Hardaway and James Wiseman for his freshman year. He would stick around Bluff City for another year before entering the transfer portal and taking his talents to Starkville — a original finalist in his high school recruitment.
