As first reported by Paul Jones of Bulldogs24/7, Amanda Elzy shooting guard Maurice Dunlap has verbally committed to Mississippi State. Dunlap, a 6'1", 165lb guard, also reportedly has offers from Alcorn State, Louisiana Tech, and Ole Miss.

Amanda Elzy High School jr guard Maurice. Dunlap commits to Miss. State. First 2014 commit for coach Rick Ray

Dunlap is Coach Rick Ray's first oral commitment for the class of 2014. At this time, Maurice is unranked by any of the major recruiting services (24/7, Rivals, Scout), as they have yet to rank the class of 2014.

Another little interesting tidbit on Dunlap from Paul Jones:

Dunlap is the nephew of former MSU signee Monta Ellis

I believe Dunlap is #1 in that video, but I could be mistaken. MrBernard187, if you are reading this, please verify that that is Maurice.

Is anyone else all of a sudden getting Steve Miller's "The Joker" stuck in their head?
