Walker Howard to Ole Miss
- Thread starter greenbean.sixpack
- Start date
Dart's not very good. I think Kiffin's looking to replace him.
You think so? Walker couldn't break into the 2 deep at LSU and they see him in practice every day.
Dart can't transfer again (without sitting out) until he is considered a grad transfer.
Dart is decent, but he'll need to put on a show to be drafted next year, he can probably leave as a grad transfer though.
He can be a late round guy. I doubt he would improve his stock staying another year. He's got a lot to work with.
He was a true freshman and is supposed to be some hot shot recruit. But who knows if he's any good or not? Maybe Kiffin is just bringing him in for the future since he didn't sign a HS QB.
Dart is the only scholarship qb on the roster. Bringing in a five star as a back up or perhaps starter is not a bad plan. Essentially he will take the place of Reed who signed with Texas A&M.
Now, the real question is whether they get Sanders, a senior out of Oklahoma State. He is in the portal and yet to commit as far as I know. If he signs with Ole Miss, their quarterback room will be pretty salty. I really do not understand why Sanders would go there with Dart and Howard on board.

Its not a bad idea. Get your QB depth from the portal. Make them burn their one get out of jail free card to come to your school, so you can be sure they will stick around.
Also, it doesn’t seem he had any serious interest as a starter, thus he ended up with the next best thing - a school with an established starter but no depth behind him.
I would be surprised if Spencer Sanders doesn’t end up with Rev. Hugh now. We hated to lose him from Stillwater. He’s got talent. He just had no supporting cast this year.
Mike Detillier, on Bo Bounds' show, said Walker is expecting to be a starter in 2023, if he supplants Dart, that could negatively impact team chemistry for them.
I've watched a decent amount of film on Howard.
I do not understand the hype. If he had played at Pontotoc without an overrated LSU QB for a dad, he might be a 3 star.

Yeah that's not true. Dart is their unquestioned starter.
Howard will start next year (as in 2024) He knows he won't start over Nussmeier at LSU in 2024.

I'm still waiting on our backup JUCO transfer QB. I just heard from Paul that a highly rated QB wouldn't transfer in where there's an entrenched starter, but what do I know...
Concur Dart is good, but I don't know if he'll be good enough to be drafted in 2024. I'm assuming Lane gave assurances that Walker would at least be the starter in 2024 (although Detillier says Walker wants to start this year). That could cause an issue if Dart wants to come back in 2024.
He is not coming in to sit behind Dart for two years. He is coming in to sit behind Spencer Sanders for one year. Dart is likely leaving Ole Miss.
Unless Dart is injured or something else we aren’t aware of, they are screwing him. He has already used his free transfer. He will have to sit a year somewhere else unless he gets an unlikely waiver. I don’t know if it will, but it should hurt their reputation in the transfer portal.

It makes more sense for the LSU transfer to come in if he thinks he is sitting behind Sanders. If he thinks he is sitting behind Dart, he could be sitting until 2025. That’s why he is leaving LSU.
ETA: I guess they could be screwing the LSU transfer if they lied to him about Dart to get him to come to Ole Miss.

We should all realize by now that anyone who has a last name for a first name and a first name for a last name will ultimately choose Ole Miss.
The grad transfer rule is separate from the one-get-out-of-jail-free card. So if he graduates, he could transfer without sitting. He could lawyer up and apply for a waiver if he doesn’t graduate.

Yea, Brandon Walker always claims his OM name would have been Walker Brandon III.
Why do we not have a chance with Walker considering his MSU ties? Hell, we need every QB we can find at this point. If they can take a snap, sign'em.
Does the NCAA really care or enforce the free 1 time transfer rule?
JT Daniels transferred to Rice. He's played for USC, GA, and West Virginia and has played every season.
They just screwed themselves with the QB in next year's class, Walker White from Arkansas. He'll never sign there now. IMO, he has far better skills and upside than Howard. Typical OM. Got to have good optics and short sightedness. Be damned substance
To be fair, Nussmeier had one of, if not THE best half against UGA in the last two years. Based on that game, several current SEC starters would not make LSU’s two deep either.
