re: Lane/Corey's reason for no portal CB?

Posted by thiseye on 1/17/26 at 9:56 am to
We did get a late HS CB commitment Emari Peterson last week too.
Yea, 8 additions from portal, 2 added from high school class. 9 departures from portal, and 1 out of eligibility, so I think numbers-wise, we're back to where we were for 2025 season.
They're also convinced Kiffin leaked the OM contracts
Ole miss "insiders" are convinced it's Kiffin tampering and "going all in on trying to poach as many players as they can right before the portal closes to send everything into chaos."
looks like 4* OL from Pennsylvania for class of 2027
WR Tally -- +2 now compared to last season
1 reception for 2 yards of returning production now among WRs


10 WRs leaving

WRs lost to portal (6):
* Parker
* Francis
* Billiot
* Watkins
* Hill
* Anderson (Nic)

WRs lost to draft/eligibility (4):
* Brown (Barion)
* Hilton
* Thomas
* Anderson (Aaron)

------

12 WRs joining

WRs in 2026 high school class (3):
* Barber
* Mack
* Allen

WRs added from portal (9):
* Mothershed
* Jackson
* Holloway
* Elzy
* Brown (Tre)
* Brown (Jayce)
* Wilson
* Harris
* Watkins

You know they're overpaying for these guys because they need to make it seem like the team is still intact and everything is running smoothly. It's all PR for them to make it seem like they're an "elite" program even with the exit of their greatest coach and OC ever.


I tend to agree. But it's possible it's going like Notre Dame who motivated their donor base to pony up funds when BK left them to show that LSU doesn't have more "resources" to win a championship. Ole Miss could similarly be using the Kiffin saga to rally the troops. We'll see if it's temporary or lasting
Leavitt will also help open up the run game since he's a serious run threat too.
Getting all the first team reps is significant for someone like him who's been sitting for a year.

Is Nic Anderson still on the team? Surprised he never hit the portal.


yes he is

yea Tre is in the portal LINK
There's only one portal window this year. But we could still sign a HS kid. Or roll with Picarella. There will be lots of uncommitted QBs in the portal after the portal closes so I assume in the weeks ahead they'll take a shot with someone from the portal on no one's radar.

One of the only WRs to not enter the portal

FCS. I like this kid. Saw his highlights last week and was hoping we'd land him as a depth piece
"I am still committed, but I’m going to check out some of my options in the coming months."

this didn't go over well with my wife when I told her this
we are only +1 WR from last year so far
don't need a blindside blocker if you don't have a QB to protect
technically 2 more weeks for Miami and Indiana transfers. Maybe we can get Mendoza's brother

would probably be an easier sell with an OL
