After letting former head coach and player Juwan Howard go, Michigan basketball has had a revolving door into the transfer portal. Earlier this week, center Tarris Reed Jr. announced he was leaving Ann Arbor. And Ole Miss has reached out, per On3’s Joe Tipton, in hopes of hosting him for an official visit soon.

The 6-foot-10, 265 pound prospect played in 32 games with 31 starts. He was fifth on the team, averaging nine points and a team-high 7.2 rebounds per game. Reed shot 52 percent from the field and was a physical force down low with great athleticism.

Reed scored in double figures 13 times this past season. Also had 15 or more points thrice. In January, he scored a career-high 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting in a loss to Illinois.

Tarris Reed Jr. was a four-star recruit in the 2022 class.

He was ranked as the No. 35 overall player and seventh-best center in the country. The center from Link Year Prep was also the No. 3 prospect in the state of Missouri. As a senior, he helped the Lions to a 34-2 record and runner-up finish at the GEICO Nationals.

Prior to transferring his final year, Reed played three years at Chaminade College Prep. He finished with 1,002 points (13.7 PPG), 604 rebounds (8.3 RPG) and 115 blocks (1.6 BPG) per game.
