Ole Miss Basketball Transfer Portal Tracker: Roster Movement Set to Begin for 2026-27

Ole Miss Basketball Transfer Portal Tracker: Roster Movement Set to Begin for 2026-27

OXFORD — As the college basketball calendar turns, so does the focus inside the Ole Miss program.

With the 2025-26 season in the rearview, attention has already shifted toward roster evaluation and reconstruction ahead of next year. For head coach Chris Beard and his staff, that process begins with internal conversations — and quickly moves to navigating the transfer portal.

Ole Miss closed the season at 15-20, falling just short of a deeper run in the SEC Tournament and ultimately opting out of postseason play. Now, the priority is clear: reshape the roster and position the program for a stronger push in 2026-27.

The NCAA transfer portal window for immediate eligibility officially runs from April 7 through April 21, though player movement often begins before that timeframe. As expected, roster changes are already underway.

Here’s a running look at who has said they will be leaving Oxford:

Departures

Eduardo Klafke | Guard

Ole Miss guard Eduardo Klafke is set to enter the transfer portal after two seasons with the Rebels, according to reports released March 27.

The 6-foot-5 Brazil native developed into a consistent rotational piece during his time in Oxford. Klafke appeared in all 36 games as a freshman and followed that with 34 appearances in the 2025-26 season, including 12 starts.

This past season, he averaged 4.6 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, providing versatility on the perimeter and valuable depth in the backcourt.

Hobert Grayson | Guard

Hobert Grayson’s agent indicates he is entering the transfer portal. Grayson played in five games for the Rebels, scoring a total of seven points and collecting seven rebounds in a total of 28 minutes across the five games. Before arriving at Ole Miss, he played at Northeast Community College, Holmes Community College, and Division II Ouachita Baptist.

What’s Next?

When the portal cycle begins, Ole Miss will be active on both sides — managing outgoing decisions while also targeting additions to address roster needs.
