Ole Miss lost a lot in their frontcourt this offseason.
The team took a big hit when center Dwight Coleby announced he was transferring despite being in line to start this season after senior power forward/centers M.J. Rhett and Aaron Jones graduated. Coleby averaged 5.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game last season, while Rhett improved throughout the season and finished the year with 7.4 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.
Without Coleby, the Rebels are expected to eschew the normal two, big men lineup and go smaller and faster. Coleby was likely the starter at center and will be replaced by junior Sebastian Saiz, who most likely would’ve started at power forward next to him.
