With a new coaching staff comes new challenges, and in his first few weeks as head coach of Ole Miss basketball, Kermit Davis has experienced these challenges firsthand. After meeting with three-star recruit Serrel Smith last week to discuss the future of the program, coach Davis released him from his letter of intent, and Smith will reopen his recruitment.
This week, another recruit has followed suit. Three-star recruit Anthony Higgins was granted a release from his letter of intent by Ole Miss.
Though, on the surface, this is not a positive turn, the reality is that players commit much in part to coaching staffs, and with changes comes reevaluation.
