Daeshun Ruffin, who served as the Ole Miss starting point guard for two seasons, decided to enter his name into the transfer portal.
The former Callaway high school phenom spent much of the last two seasons sidelined with multiple injuries; this, coupled with the recent coaching changes, made it seem like the right time for Ruffin to look for a fresh start.
In high school, Ruffin averaged 33.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in his senior season, which earned him his second-straight Mississippi Gatorade Player of the Year award. That same season, he was named to the McDonald’s All-American Team.
