kennypowers 1,431 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 How hard is his commit? Taking visits (I would too though for life experiences), but he gave the coaches his pitch to prepare for. Just curious the thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.E.D 11,070 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Seems like a solid pick up that will probably grow into a SDE. Hopefully pick up the EDGE Nebraska is pushing out of their class this weekend at Big Cat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lane's use of the portal got Ole Miss in second place nationally, behind only So. Cal. AU is 23rd.

If you lament AU’s recruiting position (as many have)(and I certainly agree we could use more recruits), if you are even handed , Ole Miss at this point is worse off than we are. I know we have a long way to go but the perceived quality of our 5 recruits are ver high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference I see is that portal acquisitions and high school/JUCO acquisitions are put on different lists by the recruiting services. When they get to the practice field the talent that is available on the field is what matters, not what the sources of that talent were. Lane Kiffin's new talent for the 2022 season is way ahead of AU's new talent for '22. Future years have yet to play out. It will be roughly this time next year before we have the final results for '23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also do not believe we should include last years portal acquisitions with this years recruiting stats. Ole Miss did indeed have an impressive portal collective last portal cycle. I also understand ole Miss excellent portal acquisitions were due to the high probability they would see the field almost immediately (due to lesser quality players). Most of ours (portal players)will also as they were chosen basis holes/needs. I say we will field a better team this year than Ole Miss if we indeed get good play from our QB/WR group. I always thought you were a bammer but obviously must be closet OLe Miss fan ( most if them are unless you live in Miss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not disappoint with your always negative take on anything Auburn/Harsin related (Hilliard is the exception that proves the rule). Now I need some more reality checking to slow this positive momentum roll.

Gus didn't have half this guys career as an innovative and successful offensive mind. If true he will never be a great HC, he will still always be a better coach option than Gus.

He may be better than Gus, but I can imagine the uproar on this board if he was AU coach and used his "analytics" like he did against AU last year. Those decisions helped cost Ole Miss the game . AU fans would have wanted to ship him off to Chop Suey China 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
