Mississippi State basketball added another four-star recruit to the 2016 class Monday with a commitment from Eli Wright, left-handed shooting guard from Owensboro, Kentucky.
Wright gave the pledge to Ben Howland and MSU on his official visit. He chose the Dogs over offers from Florida, Tennessee, UConn, Wake Forest, Oklahoma State, and Indiana among others.
He's the second commitment for the 2016 class, joining four-star point guard and fellow lefty Lamar Peters.
Wright is good friends with MSU freshman forward Aric Holman, who is also from Owensboro, so his commitment doesn't come as much of a surprise.
