Huge news for Rebel Roundballers

Andy Kennedy and the Rebels recieved huge news today when Malcolm White was declared eligible by the NCAA Clearinghouse. White is the most highly recruited player in Rebel basketball since Justin Reed. Most everyone had written White off and he was expected to attend prep school. Now, White will add to a great mix of veterans and youth. White gives the Rebs even more length and athleticism. He makes the Rebs at least 2 deep at every position on the court now. Take a look at the roster.

PG - Chris Warren (Fr) Trevor Gaskins (Fr) Brian Smith (Sr)
SG - Eniel Polynice (So) David Huertas (So) Zach Graham (Fr) Rodney Jones (So)
SF - Wesley Jones (Jr) Terrence Watson (Jr) Huertas/Graham/Polynice
PF - Malcolm White (Fr) Kenny Williams (Sr) Jones
C - Dwayne Curtis (Sr) Jeremy Parnell (Sr) Kevin Cantinol (Fr)

This is a versatile line up that will allow Ole Miss to play a half court game or run all day long. The talking heads are predicting a down year for Ole Miss, but I don't think they realize how improved this team is. We have four seniors on the team, lost three last season, are taller, more athletic, and have a head coach with one full season of head coaching experience under his belt. I'm expecting big things from this team.
