    Greed may not be so good after all?

    Now the kid can't compete? Wow. He was rated a 4 star after 2 yrs of high school. Started as an 8th grader for his high school team. If he stayed in HS he most likely would have been bumped to a 5 star.

    The QB room at Ole Miss is getting a little crowded, no? I wonder how Walker Howard feels right now.

    I didn't say that..I said that no one knows if he can do at a collegiate level, in high school you might be the best one...big fish in a small pond, college, many big fish, same in NFL..unfortunately Tim did well in college, but at the pro level? It is .not 100%...Bobby Sablehaus ..remember him..big talent..with SOS as his coach...how did he do?
    I read what a talent Metz was when he signed with his last school..now posters here don't think he can get the job done based on what he did up there..so ..
    We are not even sure how DJ will do till he actually plays here

    Not worked up about his trolling in the slightest. He was an asshole long before this one. It’s not my kid being dropped off to play for him.

    I was hoping that Simmons would be the starter and 24 to give lag Way some breathing room but it’s not gonna happen.

    Yep — once a douche always a douche. I have little doubt he told Simmons to troll us for maximum satisfaction— he’s done it before. Screw Kiffin and screw Simmons. Gator Bait

    He might become an excellent SEC QB - eventually. At this point however, he remains an unknown quantity. Incidentally, if the $1.5M NIL package, plus a big fat job for daddio report is real, I'm a hard pass - now and in the future.

    Sounds like something that would happen to us. Honestly it’s not that surprising after he started deleting the tweet recruiting Robinson to UF.

    I don’t think I ever recall SOS trolling another school or encouraging a recruit to troll another school simply because a kid signed with us. He trolled the hell out of them during the season though
