Ole Miss Basketball got a big time commitment from Virginia Tech transfer Sean Pedulla.
Under the guidance of the esteemed Ole Miss head coach, Chris Beard, the Rebels have consistently attracted top-tier transfers. This trend continued with the recent commitment of Virginia Tech transfer guard Sean Pedulla, a testament to Beard's ability to sell the vision of what the team wants to achieve.
Pedulla visited Oxford on April 21 and committed to the Rebels on April 24. Rumors circulated that he would visit Alabama after the Ole Miss visit. However, Beard worked magic to get Pedulla to commit to his home state, Oklahoma. The Junior has already changed his 'X' bio, tagging Ole Miss Basketball.
