Co-Lin coach Dennis Sims said he was happy to have Hood join his program. He is an exceptional shooter."
"Josh's main asset is that he can make shot when he's open," continued Sims.
Sims said Hood participated in Co-Lin's annual basketball camps and improved his skills in several areas. "We have watched him grow and mature at our summer camps. He's a good young man.
"Josh knows what he has to do to improve his game," Sims continued. "I already know he will do well in the classroom, too."
Wesson boys head coach Ron Kessler has coached Hood for six years at Wesson.
"Josh has played for me all six years," explained Kessler. "I had the opportunity to see him grow as a basketball player. He is a very hard worker; much like (his cousin) Brandt. He really got determined after his sophomore year and worked on his outside shot.
"Josh was a tough guard to guard," added Kessler. "He mixed it up inside. He broke his cousin Brandt's 2006 six 3-pointers record in a game this year at St. Al with 9 treys."
Hood's major in college is undecided but he wants to take courses related to law. "It was special to me, a good memory," stated Hood about setting the new 3-point record.
His favorite player is point guard Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets. His favorite NBA team is the Hornets. He also likes Duke in college basketball.
