JACKSON, Miss. (AP) Mississippi continued its roster overhaul on Friday with the signing of Tennessee State transfer M.J. Rhett.
The 6-foot-9 Rhett adds more depth to the Rebels' frontcourt. He averaged 10.9 points and a team-leading 9.1 rebounds per game last season at Tennessee State.
Rhett is expected to graduate from Tennessee State in May, which would make him eligible to play immediately for his senior season. He is the seventh signee for the incoming class, which also includes Roderick Lawrence and Terence Smith, who signed with the Rebels on Wednesday.
J.T. Escobar, Marcanvis Hymon, Stefan Moody and Rauno Nurger signed during the fall.
Ole Miss is trying to bounce back from a disappointing 19-14 season, which ended without a trip to the postseason.
