Highly-touted Ohio State transfer forward Cotie McMahon has committed to Ole Miss, per On3’s Talia Goodman on Thursday. The 6-0 junior averaged 16.5 points per game and 4.7 rebounds per game this season.

Ole Miss coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin beat out the likes of Tennessee, LSU and others for McMahon. The Rebels are looking to build on a Sweet 16 run this season.

“When I look at this season, no one wanted us here, no one thought we would be here, and we’re still here, and we got this far, and unfortunately, we ran into a tough team tonight and did not prevail. But at the end of the day, we will continue to build,” McPhee-McCuin said after Ole Miss lost to UCLA. “This is our second Sweet 16 in two years. If I’m not mistaken, this is UCLA’s third in a row. Third time’s a charm. We’ll be back again and be able to move forward.”

Ole Miss has already made a splash in the transfer portal, landing Georgia Tech transfer Tianna Thompson, Virginia’s Latasha Lattimore, UCF’s Kaitlin Peterson and Wichita State’s Jayla Murray.

McMahon arrived at Ohio State for the 2022-2023 season as one of the top 25 recruits in the country. Originally from Centerville (Ohio) High School, McMahon scored 20.2 ppg her junior season and finished her high school career with 1,319 points.

She also has international experience, grabbing a spot on the 2022 USA Basketball Women’s U18 National Team. She helped the team win a gold medal at the 2022 FIBA U18 Americas Championship by averaging 14.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.7 steals over six games.
