Kennedy Adds Another

OXFORD — Andy Ogide of Paulding County (Ga.) High has signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Ole Miss, new Rebel coach Andy Kennedy said today.
Ogide, a 6-foot-8, 225-pound forward, averaged 25.3 points and 10.3 rebounds a game as a senior at Paulding County. He joins St. Petersburg (Fla.) College forward Kenny Williams in Ole Miss’ signing class.“He really is the epitome of what we’re looking for in a student-athlete atOle Miss,” Kennedy said. “He’s a leader in the classroom, he’s got a 3.8GPA. He’s 6-foot-8, 225 pounds of athleticism and his skills will allow himto play multiple positions. For him to be available and for us to be able toadd him to our roster at this point is very encouraging.”Ogide was coached in high school by former Clinton High coach Joel Boone.

The Rebels hosted two recruits last weekend, former Cincinnati guard Devan Downey and Peabody (La.) High guard Rodney Jones.

Update: As Sparky stated Devan Downey is going to enroll at South Carolina. It appears the AAU coaches are making alot of this decision for him. Coach Kennedy did not want to start off on a bad relationship with some of the AAU coaches, so he did not persue this one too hard.
