NEAL OXFORD — Ole Miss basketball guard Cullen Neal has asked for and been granted his release. The decision comes a day after Ole Miss signed Markel Crawford, a 6-foot-5 graduate transfer from Memphis who, like Neal, is a guard who plays both the point and shooting spots. Neal, himself a graduate transfer but in the unusual position of having two years of eligibility, played in all 36 games last year with 12 starts.
