I wish that wasn’t just your opinion, because I don’t think they will ever get in trouble for **** - especially when they can cover anything up with an NIL
Third choice (or maybe fourth if you count Caleb Williams, who was probably never a realistic enough option to consider a choice), but he's also got three years of eligibility it looks like. Not sure they're not better off with him than one year of their other two choices.
Looks like he started as a true freshman, got hurt, and still came back and played at the end of the year? Unless there is some bad mojo about why he is transferring, it seems like this is a homerun for lane considering the realistic options and how dire their need was.
ETA: Looks like QBR was 67.7, which would have put him in the low forties in the nation if he had played enough games? Not sure how good QBR is as a stat, but seems like for a true freshman that's probably really promising.

He is decent. He is a former USC QB so he obviously has talent. Keep in mind that they had their worst team in a long, long time this past season. USC hit the portal too and he probabaly wasn't going to play much if at all.
Man, we've done real good job in the portal but kudos to them. They have crushed it. Also 17 them
And it will continue, for both of us. We both have two big calling cards that resonate with talented players from other conferences and talented backups from the SEC blue bloods:
1) We are in SEC (for other conferences) and still in the SEC (for the SEC blue blood backups);
2) Near guaranteed playing time, obviously, or we wouldn't even be in the portal.
Everybody is all worried about NIL, but at the end of the day, playing time in the SEC trumps most things, and will continue to do so with Oklahoma and Texas coming. It's only getting stronger. In a few years, all these guys on the bench will realize their NIL isn't all it's cracked up to be, and they'll go looking for PT. And who will be there for them? Lil ole mititipi tate.
It's like buying a used car. Let Texas A&M and others take the depreciation (depreciation in this case is the money spent in NIL). By the time they get to us, they are desperate.
you left out John Rhys Plumlee, Jevan Snead, Robert Lane, and Jeremiah Mazoli. Just another in a long line of cant miss QB's. Let the printing of Heisman Trophy stickers begin baby!
It absolutely is and Ole Miss continues to out-recruit us. They are at the the top of the portal rankings.
The TE is as big a pickup to me, as Dart. He’s talented, and in the two years Kiffin and Weis, Jr. were together they put up monster numbers with the TE.
I have no idea if this all works or not, and tend to agree with coach66 that it ultimately doesn’t end well. But him landing an elite talent at QB for the next two years, gives him a chance to build something. And mostly, it keeps them from potentially dropping hard next year, which is big. I think next years Egg Bowl could be a doozy. With major bowl implications.

I have no doubt that there is potential with Dart. But I don’t see enough of a track record to say it’s a sure thing. His USC numbers from are just OK. I realize he was a true freshman on a bad team, but it’s premature for anyone to consider this kid Corral 2.0.
Luckily for Ole Miss they have one of the easiest schedules in the SEC next year so they can be pretty mediocre and still win 8 games.

In the 50s and 60s Ole Miss was successful because
They would sign people to keep other teams from getting them. It was not illegal just unethical which wasn’t a problem for them which is why I’m very concerned about this transfer portal and NIL. We never adjusted to their tactics back then, hopefully we have learned our lesson.
Their booster network with very few constraints should concern everyone, it ain’t gonna be pretty if we don’t step up.

Trigg will pay way more dividends that Dart will. Trigg is Evan Engram 2.0 on steroids
We keep talking abt their booster network and msu stepping up.
Seems like our boosters need to step up.

So is it unethical or not? Or just unethical if a school you don’t like does it? lol
All very fair. I agree. He’s got talent, that’s apparent if you watch him. So my hope, as a very biased fan, is that with Kiffin’s QB track record it works out. But it’s far from a sure thing. And roster turnover like this can lead to a confusing locker room dynamic.
I also agree on the schedule. But the thing about it that’s not being discussed much is that Ole Miss could easily start 6-0 and finish 8-4, and if you finish 2-4 in your last 6 with a home loss in Egg Bowl, the momentum is very different than a normal 8-4. Playing all 6 SEC West teams in last 6 games sucks. But on the flip side, it gives them a chance early to play through transfer growing pains, and still win games, and possibly go into that stretch ranked in Top 20, if they don’t **** the bed.
I don’t disagree with you. Trigg has flown way under the radar here. He’s a freak talent
What is his mission? Be a turd? They can all go circle jerk to the Mannings or Coach Vaught or a Black Bear or to a confederate man with a cane but get the 17 out
A mission is something you have to strive to accomplish. They don't have to strive to accomplish that. The fecal matter is just in their DNA.
And this why I get sad when argue so much at each other. We have a common enemy and we shouldn’t lose our focus.
