Wtf. How do they get two of the top portal quarterbacks when they already have an established starter? Wonder what Dart thinks about this, especially since the transfer portal is closed until May.

This one confuses me. They have an established starter and now a 5 star backup qb. Seems like Sanders could've gone G5 and been a starter.

That’s insane. How much money are they dropping for one position?

Yeah, this is a train-wreck ready to happen. This makes no sense on any level. Unless Lane literally does not care and told them they all would win the job. It's obvious he's trying to win his way out next season and doesn't care about the bomb debris left after that.

Spencer Sanders is a 3 year starter at OK State. Why would he go anywhere that is not guaranteeing him he will be the guy? Especially if he has any aspirations of going to the NFL.

This shows the writing is on the wall for Dart, but he might be stuck because he's already transferred once. You have a potential locker room issue either way.

Just a wierd take. Doesnt really make sense for anyone involved.
Yeah, I don’t know how this actually makes them better.

I think Dart and Sanders are on the same level, and you’ve got another couple of years with Dart. Dart is the one who is really screwed here having to sit if he transfers again. Something to think about for future transfers.

Makes zero sense on their end. Only one QB can play. All I see is this causing problems for them. Again, it's their problem so who cares.

Regardless of what Kiffin tells them, these guys are well aware of how transfers work and that only 1 can play at a time. Sanders coming in means Sanders knows that Dart played all last year and is a competent QB. It also means Sanders knows that Howard will be at Ole Miss since that announcement just happened.
Sanders is very aware that Ole Miss currently has 2 QBs. He is a high level D1 player and by now also knows that promises from coaches mean nothing.
If Kiffin told them all they will all win the job, thats on these guys for believing it. All are transfers from high level programs and have been thru this before.

How tight is that one transfer rule though?

Sanders picked OM over Freeze and Auburn.

This was my point when Freeze was hired. I don’t know how great of a “recruiter” he is going to be when the decision is made on above the table $ now. It’s not 2013 anymore.

No sh*t sherlock. Sounds like there is more than one idiot involved in this deal. And a coach who really doesn't care too much for the players.

I think this sort of makes sense if Lane is done with Dart for whatever reason.

It didn't really make sense for Howard to transfer to Ole Miss since Dart had two years remaining and Jayden Daniels only had one. But maybe Kiffin was already telling Howard that Dart's time was limited. So now he gets Sanders to start for one year. Howard then has the starting position after that.

I guess it still doesn't really make sense. But I guess in May if Dart transfer out it will put Howard in a no worse position than he was in at LSU.

Can we get Dart? That dude is a talent. Does he have a sick grandma in Sturgis we can get a hardship for?

There is still plenty of under the table money. Its actually probably more of a factor with the Transfer Portal and players getting one transfer with no impact on eligibility. The "recruiting" does not stop when a player signs - the bagmen can stay in their ear until they get into the portal in a year or two.

Dart > Sanders

Dart came in as a sophomore transfer and won 8 games for Ole Miss. Who other than Ole Miss fans thought they were better than an 8-win team? And which of their losses were on Dart? His worst performance in a loss was @ Arkansas. And that was when the whole team (including the coach) didn’t show up.

Spencer’s best year was his sophomore season. Let’s compare Dart vs. the SEC and Sanders vs. the Big 12:

That's the passing numbers but I think Sanders is a pretty good upgrade over Dart in the running department.

Rebel Nation has been going thru battered wife things since their season collapsed on them after doubling Kiffin's salary. Then the Egg Bowl, Their Bowl and our Bowl has them upset so the drunk husbands go out and buy 2 used dresses for them to try and make up (again).

Yeah no question. I just can't understand this. Not to mention anyone who would start for multiple years and then leave his team is just a little wacky in the head. Unless you've given up on an NFL dream and are just looking to make a little NIL money for one more year. Same goes for that Wake QB who went to Notre Dame. Unless there were some coaching changes I didn't know about.

This just makes zero sense.

I think this may be it. The pressure is getting to everyone. I see no reason for Kiffin to have fired his DC and hired Golding. I don't think Golding is really good or bad, but just no reason to do that. He might just be going a tad crazy.

@L4Dawg if it's all about the money, I think we'll see that change very soon. I bet Dart wishes he could give back his money.

He was clearly number three behind a sophomore, so unless Garrett Nussmeier got hurt, Walker wasn't going to play even in 2024 in the land of the corndog.

Yikes! Sanders was Big 12 POY in 2021 when he led OSU to the Big 12 championship.

I swear Kiffin could fall in a pile and come out smelling like a rose. A month ago he was down to one qb with the loss of Reed to TAMU. Ironically, if Reed doesn’t bolt Kiffin probably doesn’t go after Howard. No doubt, Fisher offered Reed a ton of cash to stick it to Kiffin. That didn’t turn out well for Fishman.

If Dart stays and keeps the job, which he well could, Kiffin will have the best qb room in the conference. I’m sure he will put in some packages for Sanders who is probably the best runner of the three.

“Best QB room in the conference.” Taking a sip of that Steven Willis Twitter kool aid I see. That whole thing is laughable. We giving out QB room awards now?

If he's just taking a big payday, why is Ole Miss spending precious NIL money on two QBs, one of which is not clearly an upgrade over their current QB and only has one year of eligibility? Obviously more good players are better for Ole Miss, but you'd think they'd want to save that NIL money for a bigger need.
