Rebel basketball got another boost Wednesday night as Memphis graduate transfer Markell Crawford, a 6-foot 5-inch shooting guard, committed to Ole Miss.
Fending off interest from schools including Iowa State and South Carolina, Crawford’s addition bolstered an already impressive 2017 recruiting class that includes two four-star recruits in Jamarko Pickett and Devontae Shuler, as well as junior college transfer Bruce Stevens.
