Demarquis "Dee" Bost (born October 12, 1989) is an American professional basketball player for AS Monaco Basket of the LNB Pro A. He played college basketball for Mississippi State University.
Bost attended Concord High School in Concord, North Carolina. As a senior in 2006–07, he averaged 17 points, 6.5 rebounds and five assists per game to help lead coach Andy Poplin's CHS team to the 3A state hoops crown. He was subsequently named the 2007 Male Athlete of the Year by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) and the Charlotte Observer newspaper.
In conjunction with basketball, Bost helped the Spiders become the first 3A school in North Carolina history to claim state titles in both football and basketball during the same academic year. He passed for 2,958 yards and 25 touchdowns on 64-percent accuracy to direct coach E.Z. Smith's 13-3 Spiders to the 2006 Class 3A state football title.
In 2007, Bost enrolled at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia for one prep season. In 2007–08, he averaged 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 3.6 steals per game to help lead Hargrave Military to a perfect 29-0 record and the 2008 National Prep Championship title.
In his freshman season at Mississippi State, he was named to the 2009 SEC All-Freshman team. In 36 games, he averaged 10.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game.
In his sophomore season, he was named to the 2010 All-SEC second team. In 36 games, he averaged 13.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 34.9 minutes per game.
In April 2010, he declared for the NBA draft. In September 2010, he was suspended for 14 games by the NCAA for failing to withdraw properly before the NBA draft's deadline in May and failing to maintain his academics in the spring semester and offseason. Following the suspension, Bost returned to the Bulldogs' line-up as team captain and went on to be named to the All-SEC second team for the second straight year. In 17 games, he averaged 15.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.6 steals in 35.5 minutes per game.
