The Ole Miss action in the NCAA Transfer Portal is fast and frenzied, all while the Rebels are trying to stave off other schools for their top-ranked 2023 commitments and the current roster is in a constant state of flux. 

It really is the most wonderful (recruiting) time of the year. 

Ben Garrett and Zach Berry discuss it all in the latest, recruiting-filled edition of Talk of Champions, including the Ole Miss transfer targets they're keeping a close eye on, where things stand with four-star in-state linebacker Suntarine Perkins and much, much more.

Times are good for the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation.

For starters, Ole Miss football, following a third wildly successful season under head coach Lane Kiffin, is headed to the Texas Bowl in Houston to take on Texas Tech December 28.

But even more, country music sensation Morgan Wallen in April is bringing his ‘One Night At A Time’ world tour to Oxford for what will be the first-ever concert inside Vaught Hemingway Stadium. Not to be forgotten, year-end giving is here after a banner year for Ole Miss athletics, punctuated by the first national title in program history for Rebel baseball.

At the center of it all has been, and continues to be, OMAF.

Denson Hollis, the foundation’s CEO and senior associate athletics director for development, joins Ben Garrett (Ole Miss Spirit/on3) in this edition of Talk of Champions to detail the year that was, as well as provide a preview of what’s to come in 2023.

The first of two transfer windows has officially opened, and Ole Miss has hit the portal aisles with the energy of a Black Friday shopper at a Best Buy midnight sale.

The Rebels have plenty of needs, from wide receiver and tight end to EDGE and linebacker, and a number of targets have already emerged.

Among them is Mississippi State wide receiver Rara Thomas, who’s hammering out his visit schedule, including a potential trip to Ole Miss within the next 45 days.

Ben Garrett and David Johnson believe Thomas is exactly what the Rebels need, as they explain in this edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247).

Plus, thoughts on the departure of Ole Miss offensive line coach Jake Thornton to Auburn, Derrick Nix’s looming decision to potentially follow him, other possible changes for Lane Kiffin’s coaching staff, and much, much more.

Four-star linebacker Suntarine Perkins has been committed to Ole Miss for over a year.

But that hasn’t slowed the pursuit of SEC West rival Alabama.

As On3’s Sam Spiegelman reported Thursday, Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Pete Golding will be in to see Perkins on Friday. Perkins is ranked as the No. 63 overall prospect in the country for the 2023 class and the No. 1 player in Mississippi.

With signing day later this month, how concerned should Ole Miss be? Ben Garrett and David Johnson discussed in today’s edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247).

In this edition of Daytime Fireworks, Zach Berry (Ole Miss Spirit) and David Brandt (Associated Press) recap the circus that was the Auburn coaching search, including the hiring of former Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze this week.

Lane Kiffin turned Auburn down, paving the way for Freeze. What, then, should we expect from the Ole Miss-Auburn rivalry moving forward? How about the SEC West in general?

Kiffin is sticking around for myriad reasons — among them, if not atop his priority list, family considerations. Still, Ole Miss has NIL advantages now, too, as well as unparalleled job security for its most successful head coach of modern times.

Oh, and lest we forget, Kiffin’s got returning Ole Miss roster that could be good enough to compete for the College Football Playoff next season. The Rebels got pretty close in 2022.

Plus, picks for championship week, including the SEC title tilt between LSU and Georgia.

Ole Miss basketball is off to a rock-solid 6-1 start to the 2022 season.

True freshman guard Amaree Abram is a big reason why.

Head coach Kermit Davis on Monday joined the Rebel Yell Hotline to discuss, as well as update the status of star second-year point guard Daeshun Ruffin, among other topics.

Lane Kiffin, the self-avowed ‘Portal King,’ has officially retaken his Ole Miss throne, though the portal temptress will soon again beckon following another successful (8-4, 4-4 SEC) rule of His Majesty’s Rebels.

Sorry. I am a (proud) nerd. I am also quite sick after my wife gifted me what sure feels like the flu. I am also still recovering from an intense week of Kiffin-to-Auburn chatter.

Let’s get back to basics.

The first of two NCAA transfer portal windows is set to open December 5. Ole Miss, under Kiffin, has been proactive in pursuing transfers.

We should expect more of the same this time around, as Ben Garrett and David Johnson discuss in this edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247).

Whether Lane Kiffin stays at Ole Miss or bolts to Auburn, it's safe to say his Rebel honeymoon is officially over after three wildly successful seasons.

His win-loss record moving forward must now reflect his soon-to-come bump in year-to-year salary, when he will undoubtedly become one the highest-paid head coaches in all of college football.

Actually, Kiffin will likely become the highest paid coach without a playoff appearance, just $2 million or so short of Ohio State's Ryan Day, who’s four combined games the last three seasons.

Kiffin’s lost three this November alone.

He’s never beaten an SEC team with a league record better than .500. He’s 14-10 against league foes, with seven of those wins coming against Mississippi State, Vanderbilt and Kentucky.

What has he actually won? And still don’t have resolution on his future, despite his pointed postgame comments following an ugly 24-22 loss to the hated Bulldogs on Thanksgiving night.

Ben Garrett and David Johnson talk through it all in this edition of Franchise Player, a site-crossover podcast of the Ole Miss Spirit (On3) and Inside the Rebels (247). Where do things currently stand? What about the next move for athletics director Keith Carter?
