Lane Kiffin is making us reconsider how we think about recruiting classes.

Entering Wednesday, the first day of the December signing period, Ole Miss’ 2024 recruiting class ranks No. 21 nationally. Not bad. Not great. And not all that relevant.

That’s because Kiffin’s roster-assembly strategy features a strong focus on transfers, which are not factored into recruiting rankings. 

Ole Miss’ transfer haul ranks No. 1 in the nation. Give the “Portal King” his crown and scepter. He’s done it again.

On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams examine the dividends of Kiffin’s transfer-focused strategy and what it means for the Rebels.
