Dez was highly ranked coming out of DeSoto. He was a Rivals four star recruit and the #75 ranked player in the country. According to his profile, he was being recruited by K-State, Mississippi St., OU and Tennessee. Based on prep rankings, he’s the highest ranked player we’ve landed outside of Hop in ten years. I haven’t seen him play in a couple of years, but he was a damn good player at DeSoto. He averaged 7 pts with a 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio as a freshman in the Big XII.....that’s not too shabby.
As for the rest of last year’s class, who knows? I have very little to go on with Fall or Morris. I am hoping to catch a few practices soon and when I do, I’ll report what I see.
