Ole Miss men’s basketball continues its aggressive recruitment strategy under head coach Chris Beard, extending offers to several high-profile transfer targets, including forwards previously associated with Florida State and LSU.
One notable target is Taylor Bol Bowen, a 6-foot-10 forward from Florida State. Bowen entered the transfer portal after averaging 8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game during the 2024–25 season. Known for his versatility and defensive prowess, Bowen’s addition would provide the Rebels with a significant presence in the frontcourt.
Additionally, Ole Miss has shown interest in LSU freshman Curtis Givens III. A Memphis native and former four-star recruit, Givens previously took an unofficial visit to Ole Miss and played alongside top talents at Montverde Academy. His familiarity with the program and high-level experience make him a compelling prospect for the Rebels.
These recruitment efforts are part of a broader strategy to strengthen the team’s roster through the transfer portal. By targeting experienced players from competitive programs, Ole Miss aims to enhance its performance in the upcoming season.
