Ole Miss Basketball: Josh Hubbard commits to Rebels, Kermit Davis

Madison (Miss.) Ridgeland Academy four-star recruit Josh Hubbard tells On3 he has committed to Ole Miss.

Hubbard, a 5-foot-10 class of 2023 point guard, ultimately chose the Rebels over Mississippi State and Seton Hall. He also received offers from USC, Houston, Xavier, among others.

The in-state prospect is Ole Miss’ fourth addition to the class. He joins four-star PF Rashaud Marshall (No. 79), three-star SF Jordan Burks (No. 158), and three-star Jacob Gazzo.

Hubbard ranks as the No. 106 prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, the average ranking from all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also ranked as the No. 19 point guard in the class and the No. 1 prospect in the state of Mississippi.

Hubbard discusses his commitment to Ole Miss

“Ole Miss felt like a home when I visited there,” Hubbard said to On3. “Coach Kermit (Davis) and the new coaching staff are great. Being a Mississippi kid plays a huge role as well.”

What type of player is Ole Miss getting in Josh Hubbard?

“The program is getting a fast-tempo player that wants to win,” he says. “I believe I can be a great addition to the team with my God-given abilities.”

Hubbard has a message for Ole Miss fans.

“I’m excited about the next level and can’t wait to be in Oxford. Oxford fans, let’s go to work!”

Scouting Summary

“Josh Hubbard is a strong-framed, tough-minded guard. He can touch the paint at any point in the possession and has the balance and sturdy frame to take a bump and not get knocked off course. He is an explosive and crafty finisher at the basket. Hubbard can get tunnel vision to the basket, but he showed improved vision this summer as a willing passer with talent around him. Defensively, Hubbard has quick, active hands and can defend full court. Think along the lines of a Will Bynum archetype.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw, National Recruiting Analyst
