Ole Miss basketball coach Kermit Davis has been very busy since arriving to Oxford and has made a definite impact on the program thru recruiting.

Just a few weeks ago Ole Miss basketball was locking down Kermit Davis as the new head coach. Now in just a few short weeks Davis has already proven himself on the recruiting trail. Of course, when Kermit Davis was hired Ole Miss had just two new additions to the 2018 team.

Since arriving in Oxford the class which was ranked last in the SEC has grown to 6 new players and risen to No.9 in the SEC. Wednesday afternoon Davis added yet another player who will make an immediate impact on the hardwood for the Rebels. Carlos Curry Jr committed his talents to Kermit Davis and the Rebels.

This was the fourth player added to the 2018 Ole Miss basketball recruiting class. Just a few weeks ago Davis and Ole Miss also received a hard commitment for the 2019 class. When you look at these recent commitments you can see Ole Miss will compete this coming season and in the future.

Carlos Curry is a 6’11 220 lb power forward out of Albany Georgia and is already a star. Curry had originally been committed to MTSU but also had offers from Oklahoma, Mercer, Florida State and Clemson. Rated a 3-star player by 247Sports.com Curry is ranked as the No.71 power forward in the nation and the No.19 PF from Georgia.

Curry is big and physical and can play on both ends of the court. Of course his presence will be an immediate impact maker for Davis and the Rebels this season. Per Davis Potter of the Oxford Eagle, Curry was the second former MTSU commit to sign with the Rebels. KJ Buffen was also committed to MTSU while Davis was coaching there.

What About 2019?

Yes, we already have something to be excited about in the 2019 class. The 2019 Ole Miss basketball recruiting class is already beginning to develop under Davis. This May 1st Davis and Ole Miss landed a hard commit from 4-star center Rodney Howard of Roswell, Georgia.
