Mississippi State has joined the list of teams that have offered 2021 4-star guard Kennedy Chandler.
The 6-1 point guard, who currently attends Briarcrest Christian (TN), is certainly among the most coveted point guards in the entire class.
He also holds several other SEC offers from Alabama, Arkansas, LSU, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt.

Chandler ranks as the top player in Tennessee and the No. 26 player overall in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports.
He has had unofficial visits to both Ole Miss and Kentucky thus far.
Lovell’s Analysis
It’s never really a surprise to see the top Mississippi schools get involved with a talented Memphis recruit.
Penny Hardaway has changed the recruiting landscape in that city since he took over as coach, but both Ben Howland and Kermit Davis should continue to have an opportunity to find success when it comes to signing talent in that area.
Of course, it’s still very early in the recruiting process for Kennedy Chandler, so there will undoubtedly be more teams around the country that make a push for him.
