You’re being too obvious.
Spencer Sanders to Ole Miss…
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
You mentioned bomb debris and my point was that there is no bomb debris when there is no bomb. Sanders knows who he currently has to compete against.
Players who know they will need to compete and are certainly aware that coaches promise the world results in no bomb debris at the end. Everyone is going into it knowing they will need to compete and may be one that loses out.
...or maybe one transfers yet again and sits out a year. That also happens and is a very well known possibility.
Apparently they just have plenty to spend thus my curiosity of where it's all coming from .
Fans grow tired of QBs, the backup is always better if your starter isn't playing great.
Let's say Rogers is our starter next year and he puts up the same stats as Sanders did. A LOT of our fans would be ready for him to move on after starting for 4 years. Some don't want him back now. I assume it's the same situation.
Well that's the million dollar question. Did Gundy and/or Poke fans actually want this guy gone? Because if they did, that's an entirely different equation. I was under the impression that this guy was some good QB.
Looking at his bio, damn he's a 6th year guy. Is he not looking at the NFL draft? He collapsed last year apparently.
This may be more about screwing over Auburn and Freeze than what's best for Ole Miss. Both Spencer and Howard were heavily recruited by Auburn. I'm sure there are some boosters that are more than willing to cough up NIL to keep QB's away from Freeze. In the Spring, I'm sure they are more than happy for 1 (or 2) to transfer out while still screwing Freeze and getting the best option for the Ole Miss offense.
We’ll see if the NIL money keeps flowing after they go 8-4 again next year while paying their coach $9m/year.
Not only NIL, but chemistry too. You know ole Lane had to promise Dart a starting role when he came in last year and promise Sanders a starting job this year.
One thing about Walker Howard, Bo Bounds said he is more concerned with starting than NIL. So I wonder if Lane promised Walker the 2024 starting job (which would mean he's looking to jettison Dart who has two years left)?

The portal is going to jump up and bite them in the ***. The rules are going to change on them, and they will not have a good foundation.
I believe portal changes are gonna happen. I understand someone who knows they ain't sniffin' the two deep but the others lookin' for nothing but a pay day should stop. If the coach and player decide mutually he needs to look elsewhere, then that's fine IMO. But the HC needs to approve of the transfer. Tsun prolly doesn't do much old fashioned 'crootin these days, they just stay on their laptops searching ON3 portal pipelines.
Sanders didn't go there to sit on the bench. Betting he was promised he could start
I know I'm going to enjoy watching it slowly play out. I love this strategy by them. Similar to the years where they recruited 37 receivers and no defensive players. They still haven't fielded a defense yet because of it, and I am here for it. We simply have to wait patiently through recruiting season and then the non con games when they are overranked aGAIN. Then the shine will be off the turd soon enough. Rinse, repeat.
They most definitely should have used some of that money and effort to find some folks on the defensive side of the ball.
They aren't worried about improving. They want star skill players to drool over so they can claim to win the portal again
If Howard hasnt signed anything or isn't on campus he can still go somewhere else. Unless he's already signed.
But half there class last year was Portals and this year they have more out of the Portal than high school. It's not just the QB's.
It is still an amazing stat: Matt Corral is the only high school QB to sign with Ole Miss and finish their college career as the Ole Miss starting QB since Eli Manning.
This will become more common in the new college football, but this wasn’t normal from 2000 to 2018.
Oh I thought you were talking about the players and why they went to ole miss. The tang
Grad transfers are not bound by portal windows. They can bolt any time as long as they can enroll in time for the next upcoming semester
Just to be clear, the Ole Miss beat writer did not say this was likely or even doable, just that it may be a possibility. I'd bet that Sanders will be the rebel starter in 2023 and Dart will be the one looking to leave.
