... is that you can quickly tell who hasn't paid attention to the portal the last three years.
While this appears to be far and away our best haul, Kiffin has been doing this before it was cool. Him and Mel Tucker essentially laid out the blueprint for it in 2021.
Ole Miss brings 15+ kids from the portal in every year. If these kids were getting lied to, misled, or not promised the money they were offered, it would've gotten out by now from the players. Ask Florida what happens when you promise a kid money and then don't pay. Yet, at Ole Miss, you haven't heard a word of that from anyone other than people that are extremely distraught that Ole Miss is again upsetting the apple cart in a huge way. Much of that is from a certain fanbase. But a lot of that is from those that sees the tide turning. It's easy to spot.
But this time, there isn't a Mike Sheridan, Lee Tyner, Matt Ball, NCAAEmily, or an onslaught of national journalists out there able to do jack squat about it.
And frankly, these three aren't here to fragile-ego flex and screw it all up.
LFG. 2024 is going to be fun.
