LOL.

We definitely didn't miss on Seaton because of the NIL offer from Spyre. I'm not sure we've missed on anyone because of Spyre. Why do so many posters assume this?

Well... the FACT is that you or anyone else on this board have exactly ZERO idea what Spyre offered or didn't. All this "he was offered...blah, blah, blah" is speculation. Plain and simple. So... LOL all you want.

How is Kiffin getting all the best portal recruits????? Looks like Walter Nolan is projected is to go there. They snagged Baron and Madonald from us and the #1 defensive end from Florida. Like the guy or not he can recruit not to mention the WR from South Carolina.... Makes our commits look weak compaired to the Rebs. Deep pockets in Oxford I guess....

I don’t believe the numbers being thrown out there by many people and Ole Miss doesn’t have deeper pockets than other major programs so something else is at play here. I suspect many coaches are refusing to play the game quite so heavily or Ole Miss is willing to vastly overpay for one year rentals

Nolan wanted to come here last year, but was asking for too much money. We lost two players to Kiffin but I don’t think we made much effort to keep them. Read into that whatever you want.

Transfers do appear to be their main focus. That could be hard to sustain. The amount of talent in the portal will fluctuate from year to year. Talent coming from high school is more of a constant.

It will create a Yo-Yo effect with their performance, much like the 1&Done did in basketball….IE see Kentucky/Dook. Every now and then this strategy will create lightening in a bottle and win NC But a lot of years it will just be disappointment in what could have been.

He sees a path into the 12 team playoff and they are willing to pony up the money for a real shot at it. Some schools are serious about being good at football consistently. Some of you are just butt hurt because it's Lane Kiffin.

I heard the Mannings want to win now. Peyton needs to stop funding that Eli, Copper and Archie $$$. Momma Manning wants a College Playoff Queen Trophy to add to her Homecoming Queen Trophy case.

Is it sustainable? Maybe not. But can it lead to an overall better product to sell young recruits on? Maybe so.

I think what some have yet to notice, is that Kiffin has been active in the Portal the last 2 seasons in addition to this one. In 2022 he had the #2 Transfer Portal class and in 2023 the #3 class. This year he has the #1 class. So he has been at this for a few years, but slowly getting more and more successful at recruiting bigger targets.

At the same time Ole Miss has been able to build up to a 10-2 team this past season with a chance at 11 wins. Winning a national championship is not the only barometer of success. Getting in the new playoff system will be a good bar and a new selling point to tell recruits to take that next step.

My opinion is you build a program from high school recruiting. Your NIL can pay everyone what there worth as they grow in the system. If an upperclassmen gets hurt or underachieves replace him with a portal player that way you can build a great culture. If you bring in these big headed premadonna Portal players that like showing off and talking about what they got from NIL then there's gonna be a bad culture....

You can post all the "reports" you want to. I doesn't make it true. Remember when it was "reported" that Nico was getting $8M a year???? Riiight.
Click to expand...
No, I definitely never saw any "reports" that said Nico Iamaleava was getting $8 million a year. Please post a link to one of them for us.

What has been reported by Sports Illustrated came directly from Jordan Seaton's family. I guess when you have too much pride to admit when you're wrong .... you can always just call people liars.

Kudos to OM. They have a weaker schedule and are pushing their chips to the middle. They’ll be really good on offense and trying to field an average defense to give them a chance.

Idk, what Kiffin is doing in the portal is pretty insane and worthy of an independent thread/discussion imo
Click to expand...
It’s not insane. The guy told you what he was going to do. Ole Miss is focusing their NIL towards the portal. Kiffin said coaches were going to eventually stop recruiting high school as much as recruiting the portal and getting more mature better players. Portal you at least know a little more about how a player will translate. We’ll see how it works out though. This can all fall apart in the lockerroom if your current players aren’t taken care of as well.

You think so? They play @ LSU and Florida .... with Oklahoma and Georgia at home. I guess it will depend heavily on how good Florida is.
