Aiming for a Winning Season

With the goal of clinching a third *10-win season* in just five years, the Rebels are truly determined to make their mark.

This month, the Rebels have been busy at work, committing to 17 new players from the transfer portal, bolstering their roster significantly. Kiffin has earned the nickname “The Portal King” for his knack for navigating transfer options to build a competitive team that can stack up against the best.

Basketball Hopes Shine Bright
