It is football season, but recruiting does not stop no matter the sport. And no one knows that more than Ole Miss men’s basketball coach Kermit Davis. As the football Rebs were hosting Cal and doing battle in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Davis and his basketball staff were entertaining four-star small forward Samson Ruzhentsev.
The 6’7, 210-pounder from Chattanooga, Tenn. by way of Moscow, Russia officially visited Oxford, Miss. over the weekend in order to get an in-depth feel for what life would be like as a Rebel and being a member of a Kermit Davis squad.
“I really enjoyed my visit,” Ruzhentsev said.
