Kennedy Gets A Commitment

Forgot to post this earlier this week, but things are already looking good for Andy Kennedy and this years recruiting class. Here is the article from the Commercial Appeal:

OXFORD, Miss. -- It didn't take Zach Graham long to be won over by new Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy and the Ole Miss campus.

Graham, a 6-5, 215-pound small forward from Lawrenceville, Ga. has announced his commitment to the Rebels after visiting the campus two weekends ago. He is Kennedy's first commitment for the 2007-08 season.

'No. 1, when I went down there, the people were really cool,'' Graham said. ''I really like the people there. Coach Kennedy and coach White, it really felt good being them. I could tell all of the coaches were real and that I could trust them.''Graham is ranked No. 81 by Hoop Scoop Magazine, and 113th on the Rivals150. He is known as an exception mid-range scorer that excels at coming off of screens. He has a strong showing at the Reebok ABCD this summer, where he was selected to play in the all-star game.

As a junior at Peachtree Ridge High School, Graham averaged 22 points a game and was an all-state performer. Graham is also playing quarterback for Peachtree Ridge this fall.Graham said the chance to play right away was also enticing to him. He chose Ole Miss over Charlotte and Virginia Tech.
