You honestly think a guy in the middle of the SEC slate is going to tell his baseball coach I will be in Columbus this weekend? Ole Miss the defending national champs are having a rough year amd it is all hands on deck. He is not a huge contributor but it would be the kiss of death.

If he is in the transfer portal he isn't playing.

And Brown who is anchoring one side. And Mesidor and Parish the year prior. All high quality football players.

This narrative we suck in the portal is bull****. Most portal guys around the country are contributors at best. We have at least 6 front line starters and they are far better than the current upper classmen Diaz recruited.

Belive the negative comments are directed at THIS portal window. That 5-7 season has made things more difficult. Last season Mario was coming in as the "savior" with a supposedly rock star staff. It blew up and so did the perception of UM being a quick turnaround. Mario did an amazing OL recruiting job with the 2023 class. He is definitely struggling now with the portal especially at DT.

No man...you dont get it. If you aren't getting the guys the USC is getting then you aren't doing a good job. (sarcasm to the max). Maybe we do miss on some guys...but to this point almost everything this staff does isnt fully out there....so who knows what is truly going on behind the scenes. No one knows who they have talked to, are working on, etc. In 1 week we may have 3 guys on board who instantly help whether it be through potentially starting or maybe just a second-team guy who when we need a few plays we arent running out kids who have no right playing at this level.

Lets try to save the complaining for a few more weeks down the road. Same with BBall and the portal. If we got everyone that guys wanted we'd have a roster with 32 players. Let things play out and stop assuming we are doing absolutely nothing.

I think he may have left the baseball team. He got one AB vs Alcorn on the 12th and I dont think he has played since.

Disagree. Most of the negative comments are about how bad Cristobal is in the portal generally speaking. We just named 6 quality upgrades who start.

Still on the roster.

As per a summary document on the transfer portal "once a player enters the transfer portal the coach may no longer allow the athlete to participate in team activities". If he decides to remain at Ole Miss and pulls out of the portal, with his coaches approval, he can be reinstated.

Go back to the board comments last season "Miami is killing it in the transfer portal". "Miami is taking every guy that UF is trying to get". Mario was on fire last year with portal success. This year ... so far ... it is very quiet.

I’m with you on the whole “Mario is bad at the portal” narrative. It’s pathetically incorrect.

Now here’s my current issue: they’re operating too slowly. They’re being meticulous and scrutinizing over every little detail that before you know it, the kid is receiving interest elsewhere. Or, we’re not shelling out NIL because we’re scared to overpay players. What’s the money good for then? Where’s the Cormani or Rashada money? We know it’s there…

Well guess what? We’re not Alabama or UGA or Texas. We don’t have the luxury to swoop in last minute. We need to be on these evals immediately. USC is doing it right too…Mario wants to build from the ground up and take guys that won’t impede his high school recruiting classes’s growth…that’s so Dabo. You add talent everywhere and whenever possible.

Demetrius Hill is in our backyard. Canady and Richard are literally right there as immediate DB2 adds (and very good ones). You want a stud RB? McKaskill quite literally played in Dawson’s system and nearly ran for 1K yards as a freshman…yet Colorado and UF are ahead in terms of offering and opening dialogue. You want speed at WR? Hudson is trending to SMU lol. You want another pass rusher that looks and operates like Rousseau? Geer from ‘Cuse just hit. You want another linebacker? Hart Jr. Is a perfect fit. You want another OL? Plenty of guys for second-string depth out there or even to push Rivers to start (cough cough Purdue kid).

I could go on and on, but we’ve got to pick up the pace and have a sense of urgency. There are players out there than can turn this current roster into a 9-win squad.

At this current notion of thinking, I’m afraid we’re always a day late and a dollar short (literally). That leads you to 6-6 or 7-5, when you could be 8-4/9-3 and literally walk into a top 5 class in 2024.

This is in no way giving up, but man we better see some results and quality bodies added. There are zero excuses. The talent is there.
