Basically says they’re interested and open to follow Lane to LSU. Obviously, we want Chambliss if he gets another year, but not a bad option to get him in of course.

Lane had 6 QBs on his OM roster. So, we'll take both.

Good insight, the dad seems pretty open about LSU.

There is no way for Chambliss to get another year, he came from division 2 which is part of the NCAA. The only way is if he played Juco or NAIA at some point.

I don't think Austin Simmons is that great.

Interesting argument he has in that D2 doesn’t allow redshirts and he only played in 2 games his freshman year. If he had been at ole Miss the entire time he would be a RS Jr.

He’s applying for a Medical Redshirt from his freshman year.

I haven't seen him play but if he was starting over Chambliss, he has to be better than Van Buren?

Idk about that lol.

...but if Chambliss doesnt get an extra year I would take Simmons. Atleast youre getting more than 1 season as a starter with Simmons. Thats a good bridge for the next HS QB (Houston, Haven, or whoever).

Chambliss for a 1 year run pretty much guarantees Lane would have to go into the portal again for a QB for the 2027 season.

Unless his wiki is not right he only appeared in 2 games his freshman yr. He played 2 more seasons at Ferris and one at OM. You get 5 to play 4. What am I missing?

I wouldn't be surprised if CLK goes into the portal for QB's every year. I get the feeling he values the QB position a great deal and is prob always trying to upgrade the position. Like someone already mentioned, he had 6 QB's on the Ole Miss roster so he's not adverse to having a bunch of QBs.

There will be 20 QBs in the portal better than Michael “premature slider” Van Buren.

You absolutely take him. He already knows the offense.

We are probably taking two from the portal. We have no QB room right now.

Needs to clean up his decision making. The games he started this year he through interceptions that were bad.
