Episode Details

Ole Miss and Mississippi State gain a potential recruiting edge as Mississippi moves toward exempting NIL income from state tax.

Brian Smith and Steven Willis debate whether Louisiana, Oklahoma, or Alabama might be next, and explore the long-term impact on the Egg Bowl rivalry, SEC recruiting, and nationwide NIL strategies.

Inside Rebel football, discussion heats up around Suntarine Perkins’ expanded role in the front seven, breakout candidates like Jahontae Cook and Caleb Odom, and how a deeper roster positions Ole Miss as a top-10 team. Is Ole Miss poised to attract elite Atlanta recruits like BJ Allen—and does the Rebels’ playoff run transform their recruiting tactics? The hosts offer insider perspectives on spring practice, transfer targets, and the arms race reshaping the college football landscape.
