"It's Ole Miss." Roman Harper Said the Quiet Part on National TV | SEC Surprises?

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Chase Daniel was making the case for Trinidad Chambliss and a national title. Roman Harper interrupted him: "Ole Miss isn't winning a title. It's Ole Miss."

That's the argument. Not the roster. The logo.

Steven Willis is joined by Bossman of Biscuits and SEC for the view of Ole Miss from outside Oxford.

IN THIS EPISODE:

😤 Brand bias, and the receipt for it. Ole Miss has the best quarterback in the country, the best running back in the country and the best kicker in the country. They beat Georgia in the Playoff last season with most of these same players. They're ranked 9th. And when I said on the SEC Squad that Ole Miss could win a national championship, that room looked at me like I had four heads. Bossman remembered the same SEC Network segment — and says media outside Oxford is overlooking this team, with the framing basically being Lane's gone, so it's back to the old Ole Miss. It isn't just us: Vanderbilt went 10-2 last year with two road losses to top-10 teams and missed the Playoff entirely.

🔫 "The monkey's got the gun." Bossman's line, and it's the best framing of Pete Golding anybody has given. Under Kiffin, Ole Miss couldn't spend on defense — that secondary was the bargain bin, and Miami took advantage of it in the semifinal. But Golding is the man who elevated those players into a unit that reached the cusp of a national title. Now he has the money, the control and a full year: Edwin Joseph (Florida State), Jay Crawford (Auburn), Sharif Denson (Florida), Joenel Aguero (Georgia) — four Power 4 starters in one secondary. And Bryan Brown, asked this week whether this defense can match the 2024 unit: they have work to do, but the potential is there — and they're definitely deeper.

📺 GameDay is coming to Oxford for LSU. Exactly what that game needed. And Bossman's read: Ole Miss fans may not be thrilled to see that crew, given how ESPN handled the Kiffin situation.

⚖️ And Greg Sankey drew the line. Per Bossman, the commissioner told schools professional athletes will not be allowed to play in the SEC — and sent something to LSU about a pro basketball player their coach was pursuing. Somebody finally stood up.

Plus Bossman's Louisville prediction, his SEC title game picks, and the two teams he thinks jump up and get somebody this year.

"An Eraser." The Ole Miss Linebacker Nobody Was Talking About. | OU Crossover

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Pete Golding called Keaton Thomas the best linebacker he can remember coaching. Golding was the defensive coordinator at Alabama. Read that sentence twice.

Steven Willis joins Jay Smith of Locked On Sooners for a Locked On College Crossover ahead of Ole Miss–Oklahoma in Norman.

IN THIS EPISODE:

🛡️ "An eraser." That's Golding's word for Thomas — a second-level player who makes mistakes disappear. Ole Miss hasn't had one in years; Chris Paul in 2024 is the last comparison. And Thomas is now five separate sources in ten days: Pick Six, Brett Ciancia, Harry Harrison out of the press box, Bryan Brown calling him a bell cow, and now the head coach. Plus the rumor inside the building: they think this defense can be 2024-level elite — the year Ole Miss led the nation in rush defense at 85.1 yards a game.

📋 Six of ten came back. Every national show ran the story about who followed Kiffin to Baton Rouge. Nobody ran this number: Ole Miss returned six of its ten assistants, the entire defensive staff, and both the offensive line coach and the quarterbacks coach — the two most important strategic pieces on offense that aren't a coordinator. And John David Baker is more Jeff Lebby than Charlie Weis Jr., was here from 2021-23 before Weis arrived, and took East Carolina from statistically the worst offense in college football to a top-15 unit. He's also the reason Jaxson Dart came to Ole Miss — and without those three years, there's probably no Trinidad Chambliss here at all.

♟️ The Troy Everett chess match. A former Oklahoma center is on this roster. Ole Miss goes to Norman in November. And there's genuine respect for the Venables defense all over that building. Last year Kiffin beat Oklahoma by inverting his entire offense in the rain — slowing down, waiting for the clock to stop, specifically to get the headset off. That won't work twice. So what's next?

🤝 And the honest part. Jay Smith picked Oklahoma. Ole Miss is 3-0 in this series against one of the proudest programs in the sport, and eventually the law of averages catches you. Plus: it apparently rains every single time Ole Miss goes to Norman.

Also: why Suntarine Perkins gets overlooked, what his nickname actually is, and the Chucky Mullins Award.

CPP: Ole Miss baseball gets huge boost with roster additions

MPW Digital — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 12:32:08 GMT

🏈 NCAA Eligibility Ruling: Two of These Guys Are in NFL Camp RIGHT NOW | Where Ole Miss Goes From HERE

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Two of these guys are in an NFL training camp right now — and they just went to court to get themselves a college backup plan.

IN THIS EPISODE:

🚨 What actually happened. Thirty-three athletes sued the NCAA in a Louisiana state court and were granted a temporary restraining order the same day. Three are former Ole Miss starters: Dae'Quan Wright (under contract, Cleveland), Zxavian Harris (waived by New Orleans), and Wydett Williams Jr. (under contract, Arizona). Two of those men are currently employed by NFL teams. That's not a transfer. That's not an eligibility appeal. That's a hedge. (Caveat: a restraining order is temporary, and an NFL club would have to release them first.)

💰 Why somebody will make the call. Lose and you can lose your job. Win and you get celebrated. That gap is monstrous, and there's too much money on the table. But sign one of these transfers this close to the season and you're telling your own building you don't believe in the roster you built — and telling the kid who's been there three years and just won that job that it was never actually his.

⚖️ The part that matters most: a federal judge already drew this line. Judge Charlotte Sweeney's nationwide injunction is why Judd Utermark and Will Furniss are back on this roster. But Sweeney clarified her own order and specifically excluded athletes who signed professional contracts — because that's how it's always worked. When you leave early, they call it foregoing your senior year. Which is exactly why these NFL guys had to find a different courtroom in Louisiana.

🏈 And why there's no phone call to make in Oxford. Wright, Harris and Williams were real players — 39 catches and 635 yards, 15 starts and 9 TFL, 73 tackles and 3 interceptions. And Ole Miss already replaced every one of them.

Plus why Chambliss was the last rightful lawsuit in this sport, the Texas Tech video, and the one thing this staff has done all August that suddenly makes a lot more sense.

Golding Says This Ole Miss DB Reminds Him of an Alabama Player | Rebels preparing for Louisville

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Michael Borkey asked Pete Golding a question I've never heard anybody ask a coach — and Golding gave a name. Which is unheard of in modern college athletics.

IN THIS EPISODE:

🎯 "Is there a player you HAVEN'T been asked about that we should be asking about?" Golding said yes, a couple of guys are going to be elite — and then named Edwin Joseph. As good as any defensive back he's been around in a long time. Versatility, very quick twitch, a knack for the football. And then he said Joseph reminds him of somebody he's coached before — and wouldn't say the name. Golding was Alabama's defensive coordinator. I'm not putting a name in his mouth he didn't say himself.

📌 Four months, and nobody else. We've had Joseph in the argument on this show since Ole Miss bought four Power 4 starters for that secondary — the spending segment, the NFL draft segment, the Pick Six segment. He hasn't been a national story and he's barely been a local one. Nobody asked Golding about him; Golding said so himself. When a coach volunteers a name nobody asked for, that's the least filtered thing he says all week.

🏈 Why it matters: Miami was better on the line of scrimmage partly because Ole Miss was protecting the back end. But the thing that actually decided that game was a coverage bust and a missed tackle in the secondary. Pick Six has Ole Miss defensive backs 7th in the SEC — the only unit outside its own league's top five. The head coach just pointed at the answer.

📋 19 drives, and "most games are lost, not won." Across every one of them, every explosive play on offense and every negative play on defense came from a bust or a mental error — not a contested rep. Stack that with Bryan Brown saying the scrimmage was in the stadium with no coaches on the field, and you have two coaches describing the same finding from two chairs.

🗓️ And the detail nobody caught: they're scrimmaging on Sundays — because the first game is on a Sunday. This staff is resetting the entire rhythm of a game week in the middle of August.

Plus four words on the AP poll worth memorizing, and why Golding sounds like a man who isn't overlooking Louisville.

Credit to Michael Borkey and SuperTalk Mississippi for the interview — and for the question.

Three former Ole Miss football players won in court, are they coming back?

A Florida State Insider on Why Edwin Joseph Fits Ole Miss Better | Baylor vs Brentwood Aca Preview

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 20:58:04 GMT

Pete Golding named Edwin Joseph on Tuesday as the player nobody's asking about. Today I got to ask the one man in America who has actually watched him play.

Steven Willis is joined by Brian Smith of Locked On The Portal — who also operates Locked On Seminoles, and covered Edwin Joseph at Florida State.

IN THIS EPISODE:

🎯 The scouting report. Joseph came out of Chaminade Madonna in South Florida — a program that wins state titles almost every year, and where Jeremiah Smith played. A four-star on the 247 composite, recruited by Auburn, Louisville, Penn State and straight down the list. Nobody was sure whether he'd end up at receiver, corner or safety, because he's just a really good athlete. Brian's read: single high, in the box, at nickel — he can run. And he's physical; contact doesn't bother him.

🧩 Why he might be better here. Florida State completely changed its defense last season under Tony White, and that scheme is zone-heavy and built to confuse — the safety lines up somewhere different against identical personnel, and the whole goal is making the quarterback throw it to the wrong team. It's a lot of information, and Brian's honest take is that it produced four or five great plays and then a coverage bust. His framing on the switch: like being an IndyCar driver and trying a different kind of racing. His advice on Joseph: don't cloud him too much.

🛡️ Joseph and Aguero together. They're similar players who'll both be free safeties at different times — put them on the field together and you disguise everything while keeping it simple, because nobody knows which one is the free safety. Brian's read on what that says about Golding's plan: stuff the run first, then create havoc in the backfield. Because you're going to give up explosive plays no matter what, so you'd better create some of your own.

📉 Is Ole Miss the drop-off team? Somebody on Brian's show said yes. He disagrees — he's got Ole Miss 9-3, in the Playoff or just outside. And here's the one factor that actually predicts a top-10 collapse: an overhyped quarterback. That's not Trinidad.

Plus two future Ole Miss quarterbacks facing each other in a high school game on ESPN2, and why practice in Oxford is locked down tighter than it ever was under Kiffin.

"No Coaches on the Field" — What That Ole Miss Scrimmage Was Actually For | Deuce Knight Shines

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Bryan Brown didn't tell us what the first scrimmage looked like. He told us what it was for — and once you hear it, the whole thing makes sense.

IN THIS EPISODE:

🎧 "No coaches on the field." That was the test. Brown said the staff played a lot of players specifically to see the ones who hadn't been in that environment — in the stadium, with nobody out there to help them — to find out who can communicate on their own. Which is why that was an NFL preseason opener: Chambliss took one series, Kewan Lacy barely touched it, Echoles and Perkins sat, and most of the interior line and secondary never played. It wasn't load management. It was a diagnostic to make sure your depth is actually your depth.

📡 From the box to the field. The detail nobody caught: Brown is coaching from upstairs this season with Golding calling the defense from the sideline — "his eyes in the sky." That's a communication chain that didn't exist a year ago, and they were rehearsing it in an empty stadium in mid-August. Teams normally save that for the weekend before the opener. Everybody was watching which backup made a play. The coordinator was listening to whether his headset worked.

🎯 Deuce Knight was the star, and the comparison is the story. In spring, Harry Harrison called him a "one-hit wonder" who threw to the first receiver regardless. This weekend he found the hot receiver against the blitz and worked his progressions. Plus Carius Curne at right tackle, Terrez Davis on the left, Brady Prieskorn as TE3, and Keaton Thomas — now four separate sources in seven days.

🏆 And a 2004 memory. Why the Chucky Mullins Courage Award hits different for Bryan Brown and Marcus Woodson than it does for anybody else — and the Eric Ainge pick-six Steven watched from the north end zone bleachers.

Plus both halves of the Caleb Cunningham story, and why the second scrimmage is the one that matters.

I'm Saying It: Pete Golding Could Be Ole Miss's Kirby Smart | Ranking is Fair

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Ole Miss is 9th in the AP poll and I'm not playing the disrespect card — because there isn't one to play. But I am saying something bigger: there's a legitimate chance this program just found its Kirby Smart.

IN THIS EPISODE:

👑 Nine is fair — and the bigger claim underneath it. Ole Miss finished No. 3 in the final AP poll last season after 13-2 and a Playoff semifinal. But this team has a head coach with exactly three games at this level and a brand-new coordinator. Voters split the difference. Here's what I keep coming back to: two of those three games were Playoff wins, and Pete Golding has passed every single test in front of him — December, January, spring, and now this. He's earned the benefit of the doubt. Plus the distinction that matters: fair isn't the same as right. Nine is fair for August. Three might be right in December.

🔁 The receipt that walked in yesterday. Brett Ciancia of Pick Six Previews — who researches all 68 Power 4 teams himself, 15th season — was skeptical of the Playoff call a year ago on this show. He came back and said he's fully on board. He landed at #10. The AP landed at #9. Two separate processes, one spot apart.

🧩 The unit rank that explains everything. Quarterback 1st in the SEC and 1st nationally. Running back 2nd. Linebacker 5th nationally. Offensive line 4th. Defensive line 5th and 11th, with Will Echoles back after leading all Power 4 defensive tackles with 39 QB pressures. Receivers and tight ends 5th and 14th. And defensive backs: 7th in the SEC — the only unit outside the top five of its own league.

🚨 The only ranked-vs-ranked game in Week 1. Louisville is 24th and better than that — Pick Six has them 19th and picks them for the ACC title game. And the detail that stopped me cold: last season Louisville beat No. 2 Miami by intercepting Carson Beck four times. Yes, that Carson Beck. Louisville's secondary did what Ole Miss couldn't in the Fiesta Bowl — four times.

🚨 THE OLE MISS HUB LAUNCHES IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
