I mean I get that we live in a “win now” world but I think there’s benefit to being patient with a young QB and letting him develop naturally (see Will Rogers). Plus OM’s schedule next year is REALLY light on the front end, whoever the next guy is will have plenty of time to get ready before Ole Miss sees any team that can challenge them. I think we're close to that point, ha. Well, unless JRP goes back under center? I suspect JRP will be transferring soon, unless there is a discussion with him about moving back to QB.

MSTSatchmo Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 There are still some experienced QBs out there and one intriguing small school transfer. I actually was looking at a QB profile that was offered by OM last week, and it said OM had 12 QBs on the roster this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRP could put up some great numbers playing QB for the right team. If Sanders' son is a Senior, Jackson State would be a great fit for JRP. Going to a Sun Belt team would also make a ton of sense.

The transfer portal has certainly changed the landscape of CFB and recruiting. The Ole Miss defense was definitely improved from 2020 and a lot of that came from transfers. It's certainly fair to question how well it will work long term. Jackie Sherrill got too wrapped up into Juco players instead of building depth long term, and it backfired at MSU. Lane may well be headed down the same road at Ole Miss... we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just two years into coaching and one of those as the Covid year. We do know he can recruit though. He could very well get a top recruit from Mississippi. If he stays a few years, it will be highly probable. However, I believe most recruit want to play in the SEC over the SWAC. Judging by the way SC State exposed his supposedly FBS caliber defense, Deion’s coaching needs work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also question how hard Lane worked in high school recruiting this year at Ole Miss thinking he would get a bigger offer and be gone anyway. Lane is obviously a very good game day coach. He really needs to hire a well organized recruiting coordinator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU didn't bother to offer Stone a football scholarship (only a baseball) and he slow played Ole Miss and didn't get an offer after Ole Miss got a commit from another LB they felt was better. I lean Lane would have signed Stone had he took the OM offer a few months ago. Stone played the game and it backfired on him, it happens. He ended up signing an offer and has every chance to prove OM and MSU wrong for not signing him. Best of luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Kiffin and the transfer portal reminds me a lot of Jackie Sherrill and JUCO recruits. State had a big run of success in the late 90’s that was largely buoyed by instant impact JUCO guys. Jackie signed a ton of them. But then he signed a class or two with a bunch of duds (longtime State fans will remember the infamous Arizona Western transfers) and it totally set the program back. I think the premise is similar for the portal. If you’re gonna go portal heavy, you better get guys who can play. The portal seemed to be kind to Ole Miss last year, particularly on defense. It was a mixed bag for State, Polk was an absolute steal but other guys were more up and down. We will see what this year brings. State got a commit from a Bama transfer corner tonight. That position group needed a major talent boost in terms of depth and it feels like they may have gotten it in the last week. I’ll give Leach and his staff credit, my biggest concern when he was hired was that they would struggle to recruit defensive talent. To this point that hasn’t appeared to be the case, they’ve continued to keep the defensive talent pool pretty strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSTSatchmo Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 OM picks up the top ranged RB in the transfer portal from TCU. That’s interesting considering how crowded OM’s backfield is with Ealy, Parrish and Connor. All three could start at most schools. I’m wondering if any of OM’s backs may be entering the draft early.

Dawg83 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 State will almost definitely grab a WR transfer or two with Makai Polk declaring for the draft. He was for sure a transfer portal success story so maybe that helps you with recruiting portal guys moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Ealy on the local news shortly after I posted that. I was actually thinking about Connor. He’s a heck of a back and since he never starts he could be making NFL money backing someone up.

MSTSatchmo Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 I read one article that said if he went to UGA, the ripple affect could be good for OM.

Dawg83 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I will be shocked if Williams doesn’t end up at another blue blood. The ripple effect has already been felt, Dillon Gabriel immediately flipped his commitment from UCLA to Oklahoma. So now UCLA is back in the market for a transfer QB and they have been pursuing similar QB’s to Ole Miss it would seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
