Lane is going for the gold right now before he loses studs like Judkins. And he has to go NIL transfer portal route because Ole Miss just doesn't land top HS classes. Go look at the 3-star loaded class he just brought in. I think it ranked 18 or 20th? Heck, that's good for Ole Miss.

You could argue it's the right strategy for Ole Miss and a lot of schools because you a proven guy like Nolan with college experience -- he should be getting more $$$ than an unproven HS kid with his hand out.

Building through the portal gets you what happened to Florida State this year: half their team opted out of the Orange Bowl vs. Georgia had almost no opt outs.

One team was built through the portal and one was built through high school recruiting.

Portal can bring instant results, but it's horrible for team culture and long-term stability.

Well now Judkins is in the portal because he is upset at his nil deal.

I get why ole miss is doing it this way and even get BK going the other way. Also BK is smarter than Dabo since it’s only speculation off actions on how he feels about NIL instead of Dabo parading his hate for it and the portal.

I do wish we would be a bit more agressive in buying top talent when needed particularly at DB.

We might be the best in the game at getting NIL once you are here and we do it very well in minor sports and baseball.

Football has had nice deals

Basketball just is laying dead but such is life with McLoser
