Newly hired head coach Chris Beard has wasted no time reaching out to college basketball’s best transfer players. Ole Miss athletics has become synonymous with the transfer portal, so it is no surprise that Beard is dipping his toes into the portal to revitalize a team that went 12-21 last season.
Some of Beard’s efforts have already paid off. He has received a commitment from former Georgetown guard Brandon Murray. The six-foot-five athletic combo guard will come to Oxford as a junior with a lot of Big East experience.
In a move that seemed inevitable, former Arizona State point guard Austin Nunez announced he would transfer to Ole Miss for the 2023-2024 season.
