Today's Locked on Ole Miss podcast we talk about early college football betting lines were released including several on the Ole Miss Rebels and one in particular on the Ole Miss vs LSU game is hilariously just wrong.For the first time since Ole Miss preseason last year had a 7.5 over under on wins has the thought free money entered my mind. How can LSU lose about 95% of their offense, return the worst defense I have seen and be favored over a top 5 team. In the second segment of the show we talk about other lines that Ole Miss is associated with including being favored by -6.5 @ Florida Gators and -6 vs the Oklahoma Sooners as well as being an underdog vs the Georgia Bulldogs. We talk about Jake Bostick committing to Texas A&M Aggies and where Ole Miss sits now. In our final segment of the day we talk about Lane Kiffin and the Offensive Line for Ole Miss post spring and talk about why Ole Miss is recruiting for 16 games and why that is different to recruiting to 13 especially in the numbers of players. We talk about the Right Guard position where Jeremy James, Julius Buelow and Eli Acker are going to fight for that position into the fall. WANT MORE OLE MISS SPORTS CONTENT?

Today's Locked on Ole Miss podcast we talk about Joel Klatt from Fox Sports rating Ole Miss Football in his Post Spring Top 25 in his Top 5. Joel Klatt not working at ESPN and Disney is an important note because it lets you know he means what he says because he is not financially tied to the Ole Miss Rebels like the Ohio State Buckeyes, Oregon Ducks, Michigan Wolverines or Penn State Nittany Lions. In the second segment of the show we talk about how Jaxson Dart is becoming a betting favorite to win the Heisman Trophy and also be picked #1 in the 2025 NFL Draft being a Top 6 betting favorite in both.We talk about Jaxson Dart's legacy at Ole Miss and the records he has a shot to break from Eli Manning if Ole Miss makes the 2024 College Football Playoff run everyone expects. In our final segment of the day we talk about Lane Kiffin being all in for 2024 and what exactly that means for the Ole Miss Rebels. Ole Miss has a ton a last year players and players that it is assumed will forego their last year to go to the NFL. I expect Ole Miss to shatter their drafted players record in 2025 and because that it is obvious with the 2024 Ole Miss Football Schedule and how it lines up the time is now. But we also talk about 2025 and the massive personnel problem that Ole Miss could have and why this portal window is important for that. WANT MORE OLE MISS SPORTS CONTENT?

Today's Locked on Ole Miss podcast we talk about Tyler Baron having a final three of Miami Hurricanes, USC Trojans and Ole Miss Rebels per Pete Nakos of On3. We talk about why Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels would benefit from such a move and why Tyler Baron would turn his eyes back to Ole Miss. We look at the Ole Miss defense under Pete Golding and what it would bring with another pass rusher like Baron in the fold. In the second segment of the show we talk about the Wide Receivers again but focus on Jacob Bostick from the Iowa Hawkeyes. Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin offered a 2025 Prospect from his hometown which makes me question motive a little with Ole Miss trying to stave off the Texas A&M Aggies for his services. We talk about Jack Hestera from the Charlotte 49ers and why Ole Miss is recruiting Wide Receivers for next years team not this year. In our final segment of the day we talk about Cormani McClain from the Colorado Buffaloes and wonder if Ole Miss is amongst the players for this young man. We talk about how no one is talking about this young man's recruitment and how 9 schools are vying for his services in the Big 12, Big 10 and SEC. WANT MORE OLE MISS SPORTS CONTENT?

Today's Locked on Ole Miss podcast we talk about the some surprises that the Ole Miss Rebels and Lane Kiffin might recruit out of the Transfer Portal and specifically at the Wide Receiver position…Yes you heard that correctly so I put on my Sherlock Holmes hat and grabbed a pipe and started looking for clues for directions that Ole Miss and George McDonald and yes Jaxson Dart's instagram played a major role. This team already has Tre Harris, Jordan Watkins, Juice Wells, Deion Smith and Cayden Lee but they may be looking to grow that room. In the second segment of the show we talk about Isaiah Hamilton from the Houston Cougars and what type of role a Cornerback of this magnitude would have in this lineup that features Trey Amos, Brandon Turnage, Chris Graves and Cedrick Beavers already.

In our final segment of the day we talk about the Running Back room post spring after the Kedrick Reescano defection. What does Ole Miss have currently with Ulysses Bentley IV, Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Henry Parrish Jr right now and how Ole Miss can fill the role of a thumper with personnel and two Tight End formations.
