Men’s Basketball Inks Four on National Signing Day


OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss men’s basketball has signed four highly-touted prospects for the 2023-24 season, head coach Kermit Davis announced as part of their National Signing Day class on Wednesday.
 
Next fall the Rebels will welcome four-star 6-8 combo guard/forward Jordan Burks (Decatur, Alabama / Southern California Academy), 6-8 forward Jacob Gazzo (McComb, Mississippi / Briarcrest Christian School) and two ESPN Top-100 four-star signees in 6-foot point guard Josh Hubbard (Madison, Mississippi / Madison-Ridgeland Academy) and 6-8 forward Rashaud Marshall (Blytheville, Arkansas / Blytheville High School).
 
“Very excited about our ’23 class,” Davis said. “We’ve got four really good players, and four different players in a great way. This is a class that has been nationally ranked by ESPN, filled with great people from great families. Looking forward for them to be Ole Miss Rebels.”

Coach Davis: “At 6-8 and 200 pounds, he’s a big wing who is really athletic in the open floor. He’s a good shooter, has great length, has unbelievable upside, and he’s off to a great start with an outstanding Southern California Academy program.”

He had a significant injury in the summer, and now he’s about to get cleared pretty soon to go back to 5-on-5. An unbelievable family, a great guy, and we think Jacob has great upside at Ole Miss.”
