Highly Sought Players Benefit Ole Miss
Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has expressed his frustration with managing the transfer portal during an already busy month. Despite this, the team has managed to land a couple of highly sought-after players through the portal.
Preparing for Peach Bowl Amidst Chaos
Ole Miss is gearing up to play in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta this week. Coach Kiffin highlighted the challenges of balancing the hectic calendar while also preparing for a bowl game. He emphasized the impact of the transfer portal on the team’s preparations.
A Terrible System Comparable to Free Agency
Kiffin questioned the current setup of the transfer portal system and compared it to a free agency model. He expressed disbelief that a system allowing free agency to start while the season is still ongoing exists. He argued that it makes no sense for players to be able to leave or stay, be recruited by other coaches, and transfer while their season is still in progress.
Transfer Window Challenges During Bowl Season
Since the transfer portal opens during the bowl season, players who wish to transfer to a different school must navigate the transfer process while also deciding whether to remain with their current teams until the end of the year. Each school has its own policies regarding players who plan to transfer but continue playing with the team. The transfer portal window is set to close on January 2, unless a team participates in a bowl game scheduled after that date.
