Rodney Hood will transfer from Mississippi State to Duke, sources confirmed to The Fayetteville Observer late Saturday night. The Blue Devils and Ohio State were his two finalists.
Hood, a 6-foot-8, 204-pound wing who is left-handed, played one season at Mississippi State, averaging 10.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists as a freshman. A member of the SEC all-freshman team, he shot 44 percent from the field, including 36 percent from 3-point range, and was slowed by a bone bruise in his left knee late in the season.
He'll be eligible to play in 2013-14 after sitting out next season per NCAA transfer rules.
"I feel like Coach (Mike Krzyzewski) and the staff can get the most out of me as a player and academically," Hood told ESPN senior national recruiting analyst Dave Telep. "I liked the teammates and felt like we have a good chance to compete for a championship."
Hood would have been the only returning starter for the Bulldogs in 2012-13, but he announced that he was transferring after the school parted ways with coach Rick Stansbury and hired Rick Ray. Hood was ranked the No. 31 prospect in the prep class of 2011 by ESPN.com, and he initially picked the Bulldogs over Louisville and Florida State.
Also the Pacers did draft Plumlee.I'm still not sure why.
