Mississippi has had a high school prospect picked in the last three drafts and eight of the last 10. That streak is unlikely to continue, but has a couple of players to follow in OF Myles Christian (Olive Branch HS, MS) and C/3B Cordell Dunn (Center Hill HS, MS). They are committed to Middle Tennessee State and Texas Tech respectively.
NONE
OTHERS TO WATCH: Dunn has a solid, athletic build with present strength. He has athleticism behind the plate and strong hands receiving the ball. He has a quick release on his throws, recording pop times as low as 1.93 seconds.
