Pretty good preview of Southern Miss football 2021 roster in this article...

It is a partial preview as it discusses the new signees and seniors from last season that have an option to return. There are a few surprises.

Southern Miss MBB Presser 2/3 Quick Hits

Ladner:
Johnson is getting better. Will still come off the bench until he gets a little more consistency. He is finally getting to where we thought he could be.
The starting lineup is under constant evaluation. There are certain groups that are playing better. Only 8 games to play, everything is under evaluation.
Pinkney had some tough breaks last game, some questionable calls, he will bounce back.
We worked on getting Draine the ball early in the offensive set up. Transition and offensive rebounds.
We want to play meaningful games in February. We have 4 series left and we can still make some goals we set. We need Draine to step his game up as our only Senior with a lot of playing time (Weatherspoon other).

Stevenson:
I just have to continue to push my teammates in practice to get better.
I had to just stop thinking and play that is why I have been better late.
I've been staying after practice, to work on FT shooting and it has gotten better.
I am a lead by example guy. I let my play on the court do the talking for me.

Was Jon Gilbert considered an above average or below average AD at Southern Miss?

He is being mentioned by some as an AD candidate at Tennessee. He is currently at ECU.

Guess the basketball starting 5 for 2020-2021...

There are 4 returning players that started a lot of games; Jay Malone, Ladavius Drain, Tyler Stevenson, and Artur Konostsuk. Three highly regarded JC transfers should push for immediate playing time; Deandre Pickney, Tae Hardy, and Justin Johnson. Will Javarzia Belton redshirt or play at center right away? What about the other returning players like Angel Smith or the forwards that redshirted in 2019-2020, Denijay Harris and Isaiah Jones? True freshman rarely start right away but will 2020-2021 be the year for Mark Jaakson or Jaron Pierre?
