Ole Miss basketball adds 2 new front-court recruits to 2023 class

Ole Miss is usually known for football, but their mens basketball squad got a couple of quality front-court recruits yesterday.

First, Blytheville (Ark.) four-star center Rashaud Marshall announced his commitment to Ole Miss – for the third time. Marshall (6-foot-9, 215 pounds) is billed as an old-school powerful low-post big.

This could be an interesting re-heat in the 2023 recruiting cycle.

Rashaud Marshall is a throw back big. A low post presence who pairs his unquestioned toughness & brute strength with some footwork & touch.
