    Offseason impact

    The 2020 offseason was a strong one for third-year head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin. Following the end of the 2019–20 season, Coach "Yo" added assistant coach Shay Robinson from Maryland following NCAA Tournament appearances in each of his six seasons with the Terrapins, including a Final Four appearance in 2015.[1] The Rebels 2020 recruiting class was ranked 13th by ESPN.[2] Following the recruiting class, the Rebels added two instant impact transfers. Tiya Douglas, a sophomore from Trinity Valley Community College in Texas, broke the TVCC single-game record and tied the NJCAA record with 13 three-pointers in a 44-point performance in her freshman season.[3] Following Coach Robinson, Junior Shakira Austin transferred to Ole Miss from Maryland. At Maryland, Austin broke the school's single-season blocks record with 89 her freshman season. She was also on the 2019 All-Big Ten Freshman and Defensive Teams and 2020 All-Big Ten Second Team. Coming out of high school, Austin was a McDonald's All-American and ranked as the #4 overall prospect in the 2018 class. Austin will join freshman signees Jacorriah Bracey and Madison Scott as the third five-star prospect on the Rebels' roster. Austin will also join freshman signee Madison Scott as the first two McDonald's All-Americans in Ole Miss history.[4]
