Yeah, and Nicky was recruited as a QB from a JC.

In my mind, it goes to the questions of how our offensive line plays and whether Blake Baker’s defense can stop a running QB in a hostile environment. All our games have been played in the favorable confines of Death Valley.

The offensive line giving Sam a clean pocket to find his receivers so he doesn’t get happy feet and giving the RB holes to run through will be key on offense.

Baker hasn’t been able to stop a running QB in 2 years. I don’t know how much of that is on him versus how much is on players blowing their responsibilities (I’m looking at you, Harold Perkins). I think we have a much better run defense so far with much better personnel that have been solid. They haven’t over pursued and the interior DL has been much better at getting that push that has been missing.

Lastly, unlike previous years, I’m much more confident in the overall coaching staff’s ability to make in-game and halftime adjustments. I think that, combined with this staff’s familiarity with Ole Miss’s schemes will prove the difference in whether it’s a squeaker or a blowout.

Either way, I’m pretty confident in a Tiger win. There’s just too many variables that the team hasn’t had to deal with up to this point.

If their guidance is to have any effect that broad, they need to include international players in the rule. Right now there is a conflict

re: MBB Offseason '26 Transfer Portal / HS Tracker

Posted by Smokin Joe Dumas on 9/10/26 at 9:07 pm to rds dc

Well, the guidance is supposed to relate to the rule. The rule blatantly neglects to include pros other than those stateside.

Conversely, the football rule states ALL pro teams. Presumably to cover NFL, Canadian, indoor, etc.

He’s used to dealing with Aleva and Woodward. He doesn’t understand that the new boss is not the same as the old boss.

Can’t? I don’t really know.

I mean, if they could kick a school out just because they wanted to on a vote, seems like they could (or would at least try to) levy punishments ad hoc if the other schools voted for it.
My question is, does a school faced with this have a mechanism outside of filing a lawsuit to make their case?

I do know they should fight any punishment, if given. If the SEC goes down this road, tear it down.

Thank goodness Aleva and Woodward aren’t here anymore. :geauxtigers:

It's not up to the SEC. The NCAA has already deemed several internationals with resumes similar to Niang and Dessert ineligible

The NCAA and SEC have a big problem. They can’t keep the overseas guys ineligible unless they signed pro contracts with stateside pro teams in basketball. It’s in their own rules they just passed.
There’s nothing that makes international pros ineligible.
