Already did.
Kidneys are one of the only organs that function can be replaced by a machine.

Liver, heart, lung, no.

Please quit disrespecting my Captain of the Cheerleaders! 🤠

Surprisingly enough, they have a form of dialysis of the liver. Very novel and only at a handful of large academic centers. I think mostly just a bridge to transplant but thought you’d think this was interesting.

I was expecting it, I have wouldn't be surprised by Bama moving on a few more LSU players ie Boutte, Smith, Roy, and Gulliory.

Good luck.

Boutte said he playing spring ball for LSU but the imposition is... he might be moving on.

Enter Randy Boyd and Donde Plowman. Don't care if you think Donde is a witch, we should care about results. Randy Boyd and the BOT hired her. So she gets to prove her worth like everybody else.

Who hired Danny White? Who signed off on hiring Heup and staff? Who knew the value of the sports programs such that they committed to along with their excellence? Boyd has been deep into it with the Smokies and a lifelong BO supporter. Plowman was deep into NU and now the BO. They know, which is half the battle won before the action starts.

How much support does Barnes and Voltello and their programs receive? Who brought participation in the future development of campus sports facilities and programs back to the fans, the people, instead of consolidating it all into the hands of the wealthy few along with much, much more?

So. let's address the elephant in the room - NCAA sanctions. The last remaining potential symptom of BVS. The NCAA has been involved since it was called out by UT on themselves. It's a negotiated resolution. They did not have to use a lot of investigative resource during a turbulent time in their history as well as all collegiate athletics. It's going to be OK. In essence it is already worked out IMO. We have a blue blooded AD with blue blooded law firm doing the work. We good here.

Are we going bowling this season? Would we go bowling if if any future sanctions would include loss of bowls? Probably not. CJH took 20 signees yesterday. Will not taking the 25 allowed while using the transfer portal for and extra 5-7 guys they need be the method instead. That allows for a cushion for a self imposed loss of scholarships sanction while still rebuilding the roster. We will know by February. If Heup signs the 25, I doubt there will be any self imposed sanction on it. That leaves a program probationary period and show causes to Cornbread and applicable staff members, which are well earned and deserved.

Next - roster development.

Some additional NIL information. I absolutely think there are some large numbers thrown out at recruits(not sure it is as high as rumored). I'll be very interested to see if those numbers continue, but also how they impact locker rooms.

I can with a lot of confidence say there was a pre season heisman hopeful who was getting low 6 figures total (plus some autograph deal which is an outlier cause who knows what they offer), but in real "NIL" deals with brands he as getting low 6 figures total from actual brands using him as marketing tool. One of those companies will probably never do another NIL deal because the ROI on that investment was pathetic. But that gives you an idea of what some people were earning in year 1 of NIL. If a heisman hopeful was getting low 6 figures(plus memorabilia deal), I doubt random Ole Miss RBs were getting 600k.

The biggest numbers probably were reserved for incoming recruits, but I am very curious to see how that continues with the new transfer rule. I think there'll be multiple Ewers a year. I think you'll see more mid/small level programs ponying up to get a big name (Jackson State, Mizzou, etc) but will that spread talent around, or will traditional powers just grab the next highest rated guy?

I would assume that the RS got applied prior to that year being ruled a "free" one, so it would seem to make sense you could get back any RS you applied.

That’s not how it works. Whether you’re injured or don’t participate in more than 4 games, the redshirt is designated at the end of the season. Wouldn’t matter anyway if the season didn’t count against eligibility. No matter when that was decided.
