'21 NC OT Diego Pounds (Ole Miss)

[bpalmer28]

I will LOL so hard if Lane encouraged both to enter the portal and we end up signing both.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

I’m on it from Charleston, SC, don’t worry I got this lol!

That pass blockin doe

 

[TNHopeful505]

The lesson here though.....

All of that spending has gotta end in big results. I.e. SEC Championship, playoffs. If it doesn't, Lane will be the next Jimbo Fisher. People expect a solid ROI.

 

[Ericvol2096]

He's visiting Ole Miss first, need Billy to be on the phone with him and not let them convince him to shut it down. Get him to Knoxville and blow Ole Miss' offer out the water and lock him down with Reed on Sunday.

No he won’t. He’s having success there they’ve never had before.

 

[CAVPUT]

That run blocking grade is a bit concerning though.

Gonna teach Sampson the importance of blocking one way or the other.

 

[CAVPUT]

No way Ole Miss is getting both Pounds AND Heard… right?

2 words.....Tenn Cup.

 

[CAVPUT]

I dont care that kid is going to Piss.

But what he's doing by tampering is ruining the game, and thats bs.

But if he were doing it for us, we'd call him smart and aggressive....winning. You know it's true.

Won't over spend. Not our M.O. Besides, if you do that, the guys on the team will start getting ideas. Once the paste is outta the tube, it ain't going back in.

 

[DaddyChad]

Ole Miss needs to be investigated. This is ridiculous. No way they’re not tampering when this many guys are going into the portal surprising everyone, and instantly thought to be Ole Miss bound. It’s obvious.

Going to be hard to prove if they couldn’t prove it against USC a few years ago. I doubt the ncaa even gives a damn to look unless they have compelling evidence. Kiffin I despise but he’s very smart; always used disposable cell phones and knew how to exploit the gray areas of the rules. Probably a handler from ole Miss is approaching these kids or their families

 

[DaddyChad]

Lane recruits like he marries. Pursue it, land it and tire of it.

He has a short time table in mind as far as Ole Miss. He’s renting talent. Ole Miss is fine with that if it gets them into the playoffs next year. If it works out Kiffin will move on to a bigger program if not he will still be in a good spot with ole miss.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I mean didn’t he just get Ole Miss to their first 11 win season?

I wasn’t looking for a Kiffin apologist. I asked what happened to all the other QBs he signed.

They're all about to portal to Colorado? Isn't that the way the game is played?

I was wondering how many went there!

I would guess it would be pretty easy for an NIL operative to simply ask a guy, HYPOTHETICALLY how much would you need if you do indeed enter the portal. Tough to tie it back to a program. Maybe even have an old teammate pose the questions.

A lot of these kids already have handlers that are actively pursuing offers for their services.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

No he won’t. He’s having success there they’ve never had before.

Agreed

Since 1971, Ole Miss has had 5 seasons with double digit wins. LK has two of them.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Are you kidding? LOL

CJH brought UT success not seen in 20 years and have you read some of the stuff said about him and his staff this year?

 

[vols 30]

Pounds for pounds, I think this is the best player in the portal
