I believe that Kiffin has them on the brink of something special. In past times, any time Ole Miss started making some noise, the NCAA would step in and drop the hammer on them for things that every blue blood program in the nation was doing. But NIL has made the bagman redundant, and taken then seedy, hypocritical side out of college sports.
We shall see what Kiffin can do with the team he has assembled for 2024. But as the NBA has shown over the years, just because you have a lineup of hired-guns doesn't mean they will gel as a team.
