Godfrey Joins State As Midyear Enrollee
December 30, 2020 | Women's Basketball
STARKVILLE – A top-40 prospect in the class of 2021, guard KN'isha Godfrey has joined the Mississippi State women's basketball roster as a midyear enrollee, head coach Nikki McCray-Penson announced on Wednesday.
"KN'isha is a very versatile, dynamic combo guard," said McCray-Penson. "She reminds me a lot of myself. She plays hard on both ends of the floor. She is strong and physical. She can shoot the ball and defend. She understands what it takes to win. She hates to lose. I am really looking forward to what she will bring to the table."
A three-time player of the year out of Tampa Bay Tech High School, Godfrey signed with the Bulldogs on Nov. 13 as the eight-ranked point guard in the country by espnW. A decision on whether or not she will compete this season has yet to be made.
"I am extremely excited to be a part of this program," said Godfrey. "I chose Mississippi State because of my connection with Nicki McCray-Penson and her staff. I would describe my style of play as a defensive-minded guard who enjoys pushing the tempo in transition and will do whatever is necessary to win."
As a junior, Godfrey averaged 12.1 points, 3.8 steals, 3.6 assists and 2.1 rebounds per game. During her sophomore campaign, she helped lead Tampa Bay Tech to the Florida 8A title, the first-ever state championship for the program. She averaged 8.1 points, 3.5 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 2.8 steals per game during the season.
Godfrey posted 12.7 points, 2.5 steals, 2.2 assists and 1.7 rebounds per game as a freshman. During her career, she's led her team to three district titles, two regional championships, two final four appearances in the playoffs and one state championship.
