KJ Buffen, a 3-star small forward in the 2018 recruiting class, has officially committed to Ole Miss.
Buffen announced the news via Twitter on Wednesday.
The Georgia native had previously been set to head to Middle Tennessee State, but decommitted from the school after new Ole Miss head coach Kermit Davis left for Oxford.

According to 247Sports, Buffen ranks as the No. 11 overall player in Georgia and No. 47 small forward in the 2019 class.
The Rebels currently have one other signing in the 2018 class, with JUCO shooting guard Brian Halums set to the join the program.
Ole Miss had previously signed 3-star small forward Anthony Higgs, but he received his release from the school after the coaching change.
Davis will have an intriguing roster to work with in his first year, as Terence Davis, Breein Tyree, and Bruce Stevens all return having been three of the top four scorers during the 2017-18 season.
The Rebels finished 12-20 overall, with Andy Kennedy resigning as the team’s head coach back in late February.
