The Ole Miss Rebels signed a pair of 2024 prospects on Wednesday in center John Bol and guard Eduardo Klafke.

Bol, a 7-foot-1 four-star center prospect out of Overtime Elite in Atlanta, first committed to the Rebels on July 31 over Michigan, Missouri, Butler and Florida, among others. 

Klafke, meanwhile, is a three-star shooting guard prospect out of the NBA Global Academy. Klafke committed to the Rebels in September over Creighton and Xavier.

The Rebels have found a target in the 2026 cycle in shooting guard Kayden Allen. The Loganville, Ga., native was offered by Ole Miss on Tuesday.

Allen does not have a star rating from a recruiting outlet yet, but he has already received offers from the Auburn Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, Virginia Tech Hokies, and Georgia State Panthers.

According to On3, the lengthy 6-foot-4, 165-pound shooting guard has begun to turn heads around college basketball recruiting following a productive outing at the 2023 Peach Jam. Allen recorded 20 or more points in four of his six games.

The Ole Miss Rebels extended an offer to 2024 four-star shooting guard Mikey Lewis on Monday. Per On3 rankings, the 6-foot-3, 197-pound is rated as the No. 15 shooting guard in the 2024 cycle and the No. 7 recruit in the state of California. Ole Miss and the LSU Tigers are the only two SEC programs that have offered Lewis so far. 

The Denver, Colo., native transferred to Prolific Prep (Calif.) after averaging 13.8 points, four rebounds and four assists per game as a sophomore.

Another new Rebel target has been identified in Jared Harris. 

The Silsbee (Texas) High School guard, ranked top 10 at his position by 247Sports, has added several new offers in April. Of course Beard's staff at Texas was already in on the Lonestar State prospect, initially offering last summer. 

Harris has offers throughout SEC country at 6-foot-4.

April 23

Ole Miss and Chris Beard remain active in the class of 2024 with a new scholarship offer out to Rakease Passmore.

The rising-senior wing out of Asheville (N.C.) Combine Academy has been heating up on the trail and the Rebels join nearly two dozen programs after his signature. Passmore took an official visit to Oregon last week.

The previous Rebel staff was also after the North Carolina native, who is ranked four-stars on the 247Sports Composite.
