Yeah I know…that name again.

Does anyone have any insight into his impact so far in the NIL space, recruiting, general management, etc?

I am not tapped into the program like I used to be, and haven’t heard his name mentioned much, but I’m somewhat aware of the great job he did with Ole Miss.

Bryce Underwood and the #3 class say Hey!

I dont know about the personal involvement in recruiting but the NIL part seems to be there

He helped to spend millions and millions at Ole Miss for them to lose to Kentucky at home

LSU’s NIL collective has seemed to make major improvements & there is a better relationship between TAF donations & NIL $

Does Ole Miss have better talent than Kentucky? If the answer is yes (and it is) then that is on the coaches, not the guy delivering on the talent they want.

Have they missed on very many recruits they pursued because of NIL? If the answer is no, then any losses are not on the guy coordinating the NIL dollars to get the talent they want.

Well in its infancy, it was being run by Ponamsky. LSU was not prepared for start of NIL.

Our NIL seems to be in a much better place since his return.
