The Mississippi basketball community is in for a treat this fall. Moss Point graduate and former Pearl River Community College standout Kedrick Osby is set to step back onto familiar hardwood when Southern Miss men’s basketball hosts New Orleans on October 20, the program officially announced.
Osby, once heralded as a Dandy Dozen selection and a three-star recruit, carved out a reputation as one of the Gulf Coast’s most versatile forwards. Known for his athleticism, energy, and ability to impact both ends of the floor, he has remained a name to remember in Mississippi hoops circles.
For Osby, this matchup is more than just another game—it’s a homecoming moment. Fans from Moss Point and surrounding areas will have the chance to see one of their own showcase his talent once again, this time on the collegiate stage.
Southern Miss, led by head coach Jay Ladner, will be looking to defend home court in what promises to be a lively non-conference battle. New Orleans, meanwhile, brings a scrappy squad hungry to test themselves against the Golden Eagles.
But for Mississippi basketball fans, the spotlight will no doubt shine brightest on Osby’s return. The October 20 contest is shaping up to be more than a game—it’s a celebration of local talent, hard work, and the continuing journey of one of the state’s most exciting players.
📅 Circle the date: October 20. The Golden Eagles vs. New Orleans. And the homecoming of Kedrick Osby.
