Ole Miss added their first 2023 basketball commit Wednesday evening when Parklane Academy (Miss.) forward Jacob Gazzo made it official, verbally committing to Kermit Davis and the Rebels, as first reported by 247Sports’ Travis Branham.
The Summitt, Miss. native averaged 16.7 points and 9.1 rebounds per game as a freshman in 2020. The 6-foot-10, 200-pound prospect is the second Ole Miss commitment in the past week after former Louisville signee Eric Van Der Heijden got out of his letter of intent and committed to Ole Miss.
Branham thinks that Gazzo has tremendous upside, standing close to 7-feet tall already and has the skill set and athleticism to grow into an effective two-level scorer for the Rebs.
