Dawg83 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Mullen once upon a time kicked LSU and Texas A&M’s teeth in with a former wishbone guy that played one year of QB in high school…. So if you told me that he figured out something with a former 5 star in the Mountain West, yeah I buy it. Edited January 5 by Dawg83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Seems like both State and OM are having good portal retention so far, and off to good starts with additions. State has really beefed up its corner room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little disingenuous to pretend the vast majority of those weren’t non-contributors essentially being processed. I like Tony Mitchell decently, Lewis and Burnside are young-ish guys who hadn’t shown anything but were highly recruited in HS. If your biggest departures so far are three backups from a 5-8 team, you made it out ok. I was speaking on key returners, mostly. If they are able to keep Evans then they will have kept pretty much all of their expected returning starters. Different from last year when they lost several key guys to other programs (Coleman, Craver, Pollock, etc.) Edited January 7 by Dawg83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrownInEtown Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Ole Miss got the 2 main pieces coming back. If only they could’ve kept Weis Jr they could’ve completed the Holy Trinity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Is Chambliss for sure eligible next year? I kinda assume he will be because it seems like all you have to do is say pretty please and the NCAA will give you a waiver. But wasn’t sure if that was settled yet.

I kinda assume he will be because it seems like all you have to do is say pretty please and the NCAA will give you a waiver. But wasn’t sure if that was settled yet. I know it's not going to change but I'm tired of all the extra year stuff. It should be five years to play five and that's it. No redshirt, no medical redshirt, and juco years count. If not then just do away with eligibility rules and if a kid wants to play 12 years of college football the let them. It has gotten ridiculous. Also if schools would start requiring multi year contracts on NIL deals that would stop the yearly transfer crap. If you have two or more yeas of eligibility you sign a multi year contract. Put a buy out in so that if a player wants to leave they or their next school as to pay the buy out. The complaint was always the coaches leave so if they go pay up.

Bulldogs4 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Agree. Also need to make NIL payable as an end of season bonus after the team has completed their entire season including bowl games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Will all these ole miss guys honor their deal is trinidad isn't given a waiver? they have no QB if he isn't eleigible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 So far it seems that State & Ole Miss have done a decent job in adding mercenaries to their respective teams. The proof will be in the pudding this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) I’m sure Ole Miss will be ranked pretty highly going into next year if Chambliss is able to return. We will see what things look like long term with Golding, but in Year 1 he certainly shouldn’t have a bad roster. Mixed bag on State’s portal class. I think they greatly improved the quality of their depth. A ton of SEC and P4 transfers in, which is a step up from the last couple of years where they were hoping and praying guys from the G5 or FCS worked out for them. I’m not sure they added many instant impact, sure fire starter types though. The line of scrimmage is what defined State’s 2025, I don’t think 2026 will be any different. Either some guys take clear steps forward or State will struggle to top 3-4 wins with that schedule. Edited January 24 by Dawg83 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrownInEtown Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) As far as his reforms rant on the calendar, and NIL. They should definitely take into consideration a lot of what he’s saying Edited January 24 by DrownInEtown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs4 Posted Thursday at 06:25 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:25 PM Well now does Mr. Chambliss take his wares to the NFL, where IMO, he will make a bucket full of money. As I understand this he will fight the NCAA in court but that most likely will be a losing proposition. In the NFL, I can see him being a smaller version of Taysom Hill. He is so versatile. He could play QB, RB, FL, WR etc. At his size I am not sure he could be a FT QB. But man, put him in the right NFL offense and he can be an explosive weapon. We will see how this develops.

My money is on whatever judge they found to hear the case in Calhoun County, MS being sympathetic to his cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldogs4 Posted Friday at 12:11 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:11 AM I remember back in 1975-76-77 Coach Tyler and State fought the NCAA over a player who was declared ineligible because he received a discount at a clothing store that was available to ALL students. The NAZI’s err NC2A then forced State to forfeit 19 wins and 2 ties. Most egregious atrocity ever committed by that organization. Sadly I can see something similar happening in this case. Good luck to the young man and the school but honestly I don’t see this turning out good for Ole Miss (at least at this point). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
