Kamardine getting a waiver for an extra year is big for the Rebels, as he had a great start to last season before slowing down. Pinkins is a breakout candidate, while Siulepa had a strong first year at Pitt and could be a focal part of the frontcourt.
The issue for Ole Miss is, can Kamardine be the best player on an SEC-contending team? Even if the expectation is that they’ll be better on the defensive end, it’s a roster filled with good role players and 3rd and 4th offensive options, but lacking that clear-cut lead guy and all-league performer to move up the SEC ladder.
