Southern Miss basketball just landed a major coaching upgrade: Kailex Stephens, a dynamic former player and skilled coach, is joining the staff for the 2026-27 season. With a proven track record at Central Methodist — where he led them to a 19-win campaign and a deep tournament run — Stephens brings elite skill development expertise that head coach Jay Ladner says is exactly what they need. His overseas pro experience and standout college career, including top rebounding honors at Indiana State, make him a rare asset. Southern Miss is betting big on individual player growth, and with Stephens’ hands-on approach, they’re poised for a breakout season and beyond.

"Call your mom." - A Message From Corey

Southern Miss men’s basketball is elevating its staff for the 2026-27 season, promoting George Brocato to assistant coach and director of player personnel, and Michael Legre to video coordinator. Both were key contributors last year, when the team posted a 19-win season and reached the Sun Belt Tournament semifinals. Brocato, with experience at St. Cloud High School and a personal training background, aims to build on that momentum and bring a Sun Belt title back to Hattiesburg. Legre, a recent LSU grad with scouting, NIL, and event operations experience, is eager to hit the ground running. Together, they’re laying the foundation for a championship-caliber squad.
