Perry Hall basketball standout Anthony Higgs has decommitted from Ole Miss, according to Gators coach George Panageotou.
The 6-foot-9 Higgs, who helped lead the Gators to a second straight Class 4A state crown earlier this month, received his release from his letter of intent over the weekend.
Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy, whom he signed to play for, stepped down in February and was replaced this month by former Middle Tennessee coach Kermit Davis.

Higgs, who earned All-Metro first-team honors as a junior, averaged 14 points, seven rebounds and two assists as Perry Hall finished with a 21-6 mark.
Panageotou mentioned Illinois, Wake Forest, Towson, Louisiana Tech, Coastal Carolina and Mount Saint Mary’s as schools that have shown interest in Higgs since he was released from his commitment to Ole Miss.
