Oddly the Basketball team lost three players that are very similar. Andy Ogide, Trey Hampton , and Xavier Hansboro were all small/power forward combos. Judging by the type of team that Kennedy seems to want they didn't really fit since he like the three position to be a faster player that is more of a guard forward combo. Then the four guy he seems to like larger quick guys that can really bang for rebounds.
The baseball Rebels also lost first baseman Andrew Clark who was looking like one of the freshman keepers. According to reports he sadly didn't like going to class and Bianco doesn't like putting up with players who don't go to class. After getting trouble he started getting homesick. You could tell that he was in a funk for the last couple of weeks because his numbers really started to decline. The saddest thing about this is of course loosing the Dairy Queen Classic MOP. I mean after all how cool was it to say we had the Dairy Queen MOP?
However the most devastating is loosing the best coach we had on campus Carol Ross. Carol's claiming burn out. Assistant Renee Ladner was immediately named the new head coach. Still hate to loose a coach a month after watching her take the team to the Elite Eight. The men's team or for that matter the football team or baseball team haven't made the equivalent (BCS bowl game, College World Series) in ages. But we have to thank Carol for leaving us a lot better off than when she came in to fix Ron Aldy's mess.

Best coach we had on campus? Did Billy Chadwick part ways with Ole Miss at some point and I'm just unaware of it?
And, to preemptively counter your retort that tennis doesn't count, I will gently remind you that you're talking about women's basketball.
