Beard talking to Ole Miss

FWIW, don't be shocked if we see a couple transfers from here to play for Beard at Ole Miss. He taketh from Tech and he'll taketh from Texas too.

There’s no Avery Benson on the team that Beard took from obscurity to a little playing time that has Labrador-like loyalty to the man to follow him from job to job. Unless Ole Miss donors are going to write some crazy big NIL checks, I can’t imagine a reason to leave a #2 Seed, Big 12 tourney champ team with a new arena, student support, and seemingly no hiccups since Beard’s departure for your former coach’s career rehab job team.
 
If I'm Ole' Miss, I'm asking what's the story with his fiance. If they are together then she will probably keep her mouth shut. If not, then what's to stop her from changing her mind?

The only ones eligible to leave are:
Disu (would have to use his Covid year)
Morris
Brumbaugh
Hunter
Anamekwe
Mitchell
Cunningham (would have to use his Covid year)

I could conceivably see one following him. Both incoming freshmen have reiterated that they're not switching commitments from Texas, so unless something weird is afoot there, it's far more likely that we'll be picking up some portal guys (just like Beard will be).
 
My understanding is they split up & she's back in Dallas (counting the $10's MM she screwed herself out of)

(Pls forgive the ending preposition above)

So Ole Miss is talking to Beard, huh?

Are they asking Beard what it's going to take to get his girlfriend to take over the Ole Miss volleyball program?
 
And within two to three years Ole Miss will go from mediocre to a top 10 program. Thats what great coaches do.

I'd be willing to place a hefty bet of a donation to Hornfans that Ole Miss doesn't finish in the final AP top 25 nor makes the sweet 16 in the next 3 years. Who's taking me up on it?
