AJ Storr is on the move again, and this time the former Ole Miss guard is headed to UNLV, according to reports from On3.
That makes five teams for Storr as he heads into his fifth season of college basketball, a run made possible after he secured another year of eligibility through the 5-by-5 court ruling for 2022 recruits. For Ole Miss, it closes the book on one of last season’s most productive players. For UNLV, it adds a proven scorer to a roster that has been stuck outside the NCAA Tournament since the 2012-13 season.
Storr spent just one season in Oxford, but he made it count. He appeared in 35 games with 15 starts and led the Rebels with 15.5 points per game, while also posting 3.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists.
His college path has been anything but settled. A four-star prospect out of IMG Academy in the 2022 class, Storr originally chose St.
John’s with the idea of helping bring the program back to national relevance. That lasted one year before he transferred to Wisconsin, where he put together his best stretch yet in the 2023-24 season.
At Wisconsin, Storr started all 36 games and averaged 16.8 points. That production earned him a spot at Kansas for the 2024-25 season, but the numbers dipped there. He averaged a career-low 6.1 points before making the move to Ole Miss.
Rebels fans will remember the late-season spark he brought to the SEC Tournament. Even after a rough regular season for the program, Storr nearly pushed Ole Miss all the way to the SEC Tournament Championship. He averaged 19.5 points over four games in the event, and his game-tying layup against Arkansas in the SEC Semifinals forced overtime.
Through four college seasons, Storr has played 138 games with 72 starts and is averaging 11.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists while shooting 43.1 percent.
Ole Miss has not announced its official roster for next season, but as things stand, the Rebels are expected to have 12 of a possible 15 players on the 2026-27 roster. That means Storr could have been back if both sides wanted it, but he’ll be wearing UNLV colors instead.
With a number of players still sorting out their next stop after the eligibility ruling, Ole Miss coach Chris Beard may not be done adding to the roster as November gets closer.

Ole Miss Brings Back Two Familiar Faces To Strengthen Staff
Ole Miss has added a pair of familiar names to Pete Goldings staff as the Rebels get moving toward the 2026 season. Former Rebels Reece McIntyre and Tyler Banks are both back in Oxford, bringing inside knowledge of the program into two important support roles as the staff continues to take shape.
McIntyre is working as an assistant offensive line coach, while Banks is helping out as an assistant strength and conditioning coach. Both have been around the program for about a month, though neither has been added to the official staff directory yet, a small reminder that some of the offseasons most interesting developments can still be in the works behind the scenes.

Arch Manning Is Already Dealing With The Heat At Texas
The Manning Passing Academy wrapped up its 30th annual run at Nicholls State University in Louisiana, and as always it drew a big crowd, with more than 1,400 high school and college players coming through from June 25-28. Among the college quarterbacks working as counselors were Arch Manning and Trinidad Chambliss, two young passers who found themselves in very different spots once the campers started paying attention.
Manning, already carrying the weight that comes with his name and his place in the Texas spotlight, reportedly heard some boos from the crowd, while Chambliss came off as the clear favorite among attendees. It was a reminder that even in a setting built around teaching and passing along advice, the public reaction can still tell its own story, and Mannings path in Austin is likely to stay under a bright enough light that every stop gets noticed.

Ole Miss Defense Has One Camp Battle Fans Should Watch
Ole Miss is now into the third week of fall camp, and defensive coordinator Bryan Brown is using the first scrimmage to get a read on more than just effort. As the Rebels build toward the 2026 season opener against Louisville, the emphasis has been on communication, playmaking and whether the defense is starting to show the kind of identity Brown wants, one built on physicality, speed and smart play.
One of the early standouts has been linebacker Keaton Thomas, who has drawn notice for the way he prepares and how he carries that over once the ball is snapped. Brown also made it clear the pass rush wont fall on just one player, with several defenders expected to share that burden as camp moves along and the coaching staff keeps sorting out which pieces fit best together.
