Dawg83 Posted December 27, 2024 Author Share Posted December 27, 2024 2 hours ago, DrownInEtown said: With the first stage closed I can’t confidently say the roster situation for State is any better this upcoming year. I would say a win this year would be finding your Qb of the future and an identity on defense. The schedule is a little nicer to us so we may see 4 wins instead of 2, but we’ll probably be in a similar situation to this year. I just don’t see a breakthrough possible with this roster yet I think they’ve improved the defensive side of the ball a little but not a ton. So far I think they’re worse on offense though.

Bulldogs4 Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 For State, the only direction is up. With the signing class and portal class, I think we will see improvement (not dramatic) but steady improvement in the next few years.

pancho Posted January 4, 2025 Share Posted January 4, 2025 I know both Kiffin and Lebby are after a few more portal commits currently. Is it too early to think on the 25 season? I say Lebby get state to 5 wins and Kiffin wins 8 and maybe 9 for the rebs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasbeen67 Posted January 4, 2025 Share Posted January 4, 2025 (edited) When's the signing period up, when we can this is it and how good or bad? Isn't it still going on after spring practice? They can still transfer before fall semester starts? Edited January 4, 2025 by hasbeen67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we only win 8 total that would be disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted January 4, 2025 Share Posted January 4, 2025 Saying it now, Ole Miss will have a better record next year than they did this year. Quote me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho Posted January 4, 2025 Share Posted January 4, 2025 are they awaiting more defensive portal guys to replace whop is leaving? Will kiffin actually use any of the 4 RB's more than he used a RB this past year? Simmons is great but how will he adapt as the season goes on? Kiffin won 10 this year. I'' be watching for win #11 in 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWammies Posted January 5, 2025 Share Posted January 5, 2025 Just remember the name Shekai Mills-Knight. Same kid that started the year as N/R and ended #7 RB in country. I’ll honestly be happy with 9 wins next year because this team is setup for 2026 but it’s got the potential to be better offensively this upcoming year. Defense will be young but talented.

Ole Miss SHOULD win every game on their schedule besides Georgia and that’s still a very winnable game. You have Florida, SC and LSU at home which is huge. But, nothing ever goes smooth for the Rebs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. This microwave mentality in the present day needs to take a step back. Lebby does need to be given 4 or more years to stabilize and build the program. And I get it that yearly turnover of players makes that previous statement seem a bit ludicrous. But nonetheless from a coaching standpoint we need to give him the time get us winning again. Again he is our fifth coach in eight years. We have got have some stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he came in at a time when the SEC didn't do State any favors with the schedule. Texas, TN,GA, all playoff teams as well as OM, who should have been had they taken care of business, MZ. Then through in ASU and State played against 1/4 of the playoff teams. State could be way better this coming year and still not win a SEC game because it's the same schedule.

pancho Posted January 9, 2025 Share Posted January 9, 2025 winning 5 would be an amazing deal. 6 would be almost unbelievable and result in other SEC coaches being fired as a result....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted January 10, 2025 Author Share Posted January 10, 2025 If Selmon is still State’s AD in a year, I expect Lebby to be given a Year 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted January 10, 2025 Author Share Posted January 10, 2025 Ayden Williams transferring to State. I know he didn’t do much at OM but he immediately becomes maybe the best WR in the room at State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have had to make a strong impression while they were recruiting him to get that number. He will definitely be a big help to the WR room.

Bulldogs4 Posted January 11, 2025 Share Posted January 11, 2025 Hopefully with a fresh start, he will flourish at State. Ole Miss has had such good WR’s in the last few years it is easy to see how someone could get lost in the shuffle. Maybe that was the case with him.

MSTSatchmo Posted January 11, 2025 Share Posted January 11, 2025 I was surprised to see Beck to Miami, although I was more surprised that Beck was so high on people’s QB draft rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
