What he said:

"To be good in the transfer market, you need money. You need resources, and they have it. But to their credit they’ve recruited the right people, and as coaches, they use them the right way.

There are school out there with $20 million collectives that aren’t going to win 10-11 games because they didn’t evaluate well and aren’t using them the right way. Ole Miss, I don’t know what their collective number is, but I would guess up or near that $20 million mark, and they’ve got the right guys.“

What he meant:

Clawson just watched film and knows they’re at a strong talent disadvantage. For the Wake Forest fans listening, this is a preparation of really what to expect on Saturday. It’s also a way for him to say, “Look, if you want to be good, it’s going to cost money, look at them!”

What he said:

On other roster areas for the Rebels​

"The one corner, Trey Amos, they got from Alabama. He started at Alabama and now transfers to Ole Miss. He is an All-SEC player at Ole Miss, and maybe he’s the reason we lost our corner.
(Note: Wake Forest corner DaShawn Jones transferred to Alabama during the offseason)

What he meant:

Clawson is just being honest. Other programs are paying for retention and in the portal. It’s obvious he’s at a school with a small collective. It’s got to be frustrating.

What he said:

On if there's a return trip to Oxford in the future​

"I hope not. We scheduled this game, and I agreed to it, and when we did it, name, image wasn’t like this, and they were 4-8. So I’m like ‘Hell, yes, bring on Ole Miss.’ I have no one to blame but myself.”

What he meant:
This was probably the most hilarious part of the interview. You have to respect the brutal honesty. Clawson admitted he’d prefer not to play this game and knows they’re likely going to get drilled.
