Ole Miss has a chance to have a special season next year. Feels like it’s going to be hard to replicate this many stars aligning all at once with returning players and staff, portal additions, and a not bad schedule. OM needs to capitalize on this momentum because history says it’s REALLY hard to come by.

 

Am I trying to jinx it for them? 1000% yes.

 

Oh, in State news, Picayune’s finest Donte Dowdell is supposedly in Starkville this weekend. Would love that addition for Lebby. 2024 may be tough but you can kinda see the foundation for 2025 and 2026 coming together if State is able to finish off this signing class relatively strong.

#2 DE in the portal Tyler Baron from Tennessee just committed to Ole Miss. The census was Ole Miss needed to solidify their OL and defense. Well they’ve def done it with their defense and the biggest fish is still in town. 


If you’re talking about Nolan, he CAN be a beast, but he is still being hyped up over potential after two seasons playing college ball.   At that point you hate to pay based on potential and not production (like with the Florida DE).

To be honest I think most of these guys have been overhyped but I think if the chemistry is right, combined it could be one heck of a unit that’s got plenty of depth as well.

However the same way a lot of folks have been talking up these guys, seem to be the same that I’ve seen State fans talking up Dowdell. He had 90 rushing yards and 1 TD but you’d think he was Derrick Henry.  


I was mainly talking about the internet portal experts.  I can understand high school players being rated based on potential, but with these portal guys you actually know if they’ve been productive.  If Nolan chooses OM he should definitely get the playing time needed to productive.

How would State fans feel about picking up KJ Jefferson? 

I think he has been beaten down so much at Arkansas that I wonder what he has left in the tank. I know he is a QB but I wonder if he would consider changing positions to TE. Certainly has the build to be one.

Many thought Gabriel would follow Lebby to Starkville. 

How many players has Lebby brought from OU to Starkville? 

None so far.

I would have some concerns. There is a case to be made that at this stage Shapen is the safer option.

State picking up several transfer commits this weekend. Most notable would probably the WR from UTEP who had 1,000 yards in a bad offense last year and Pounders from Memphis at OT. His high school recruitment was… let’s call it interesting. Kiffin kinda did him dirty if I recall. So I’m glad to see him end up at State at the end of the day.

Yeah it was weird. He was committed to state for almost a year, then took an OV to OM the weekend before signing day. He flipped to OM and then was dropped by OM the night before signing day. Tried to go back to state, but they were full so he went to Memphis.

The last TE State had playing QB worked out pretty well. Having a pretty good year in NFL. But, yeah, Jefferson's not exactly the same deal. I did wonder about him earlier on.

Didn’t Pounders do State dirty as well when he decommitted from y’all to commit to Ole Miss?

Yeah I think he was misled into thinking Ole Miss had a spot for him, so he flipped, and then Ole Miss dropped him. Made a lot of people in MS high school circles pretty mad at Kiffin for a while.

Banner time.   Right next to Freeze’s 2013 recruiting banner.  

Ole Miss = Banners

MSU = Billboards

 

We'll see how next season plays out, but considering the transfers already have college playing experience... Ole Miss has a legit shot at the playoffs next year with it expanding to 12 teams.
