Kennedy thinks his class of newcomers can make a quick impact

Talked a little basketball with Andy Kennedy earlier this week.

He likes what he’s seeing in the early days of practice. Square Jam is Friday night, and folks in Oxford can get a first glimpse of this year’s team.

Ole Miss has reached the NCAA tournament in two of the last three seasons. Stefan Moody has recovered from surgery to repair a stress fracture in his lower leg, but if the Rebels are to make a run this year they will again rely on contributions from several key newcomers.

The guys to watch are Sam Finley, Rasheed Brooks and Tomasz Gielo, and Kennedy is optimistic that all three can impact quickly.
