The Rebels finished their season with mixed results, including a 79-68 loss to Texas in February. Beard, who previously coached Texas, now holds a 1-1 record against his former team as Ole Miss coach.
Transfer portal season typically runs from March through the spring, giving coaches time to recruit new players and rebuild their rosters for the following season. The system has dramatically changed college basketball, with teams often losing and gaining multiple players each year.

Beard will continue recruiting through the transfer portal to fill roster spots for next season.
