Darrell Gill Jr. transferring to Ole Miss

[PAcuse]

have you seen him in Landman fighting death and the ravages of aging in only the way Mr. Sam Elliot can!

Hell he even got in a stadium brawl at a rodeo! God bless Sam Elliot to keep on keeping on!

Guess you just found out he is in the Landman, pacusewife has...

Whelp back to my shame corner I go

There have been a handful of perfect moments on this board, and pacusewife dropping our ol' pal Sam into the discourse was one of them.

Agreed that week was amazing. Her and I had so much fun it and glad the board loved it. We where laughing nonstop.

 

[DocFlanders]

My son and I still talk about that week, the board was absolutely crazy and was going 1000 mph nuts...

247 crystal ball to Mississippi.

Thar thread was glorious. I’m still honored Dan Mullen replied to my tweet to let us know he wasn’t going to be the next Syracuse HC. But obviously sad when it happened.

He would definitely be closer to home and family.

I don't have any inside info on this one. But I am a businessman that negotiates deals.

Let's say I got into the NIL space and had a client who was a really good Tight End at a mid-market P4 team. And they really liked their school and weren't worried about money. But there was a 5 star Tight End coming and, while TE1 was likely, it could not be promised. Meanwhile, a factory P4 team comes along and offers more money and a guaranteed spot at TE1. I am going to advise that client--who would very much like to play on Sundays--that for *every* practical reason they should go. (And it doesn't hurt that I'd get more commission.)

I have no idea if that is what's going on here. It's probably not, I just made it up. But it's a plausible situation that checks all of the boxes we've been told, including why we should stop asking if we want him back.

llandz has been nothing but open and polite with all of us. We don't have to immediately understand everything and it's unfair to try and put that burden on her for trying to share what she can.

Oh, and Darrell, do what you gotta do man, but when you play on NBC? In the intros I really hope you say your school is Syracuse.

I think Gill is smart enough to know that promises of starting are not guaranteed at the schools he is looking at.

Good for him. Will get a nice chunk of change and if he plays well puts himself into position to be drafted.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

I liked Gill when he was here, go get that money and exposure.

 

[bnoro]

And On3 says Washington and Louisville are pushing hard.

TBH would be furious if he goes Louisville

 

[Strathless]

Anyone claiming llandz is being childish or snide needs to stop and reevaluate.

We are losing quality posters, both over the years and right now, because some people cannot handle not getting instant validation, full sourcing, or immediate confirmation. Instead, threads devolve into whining, accusations, and personal shots. That behavior drives contributors away.

Yes, it’s fair to want to know if information is legitimate. Everyone does. But demanding sources immediately and melting down when they aren’t provided is not productive. In many cases, the only way to judge information is to wait and see if it proves accurate.

I am not an insider, but I have been passed information over the years. I’ve chosen not to post some of it specifically because of the hostile “SOURCE?” pile-ons and unnecessary drama that routinely follow. That should tell you something.

This board works when people contribute in good faith and discuss information maturely. If you can’t do that, you’re part of the problem.

Thank you to everyone who continues to post responsibly and helps keep this place worth reading.

Yeah, the proof is in the pudding on this board. Appreciate all the “insiders” who take the time to share their information and insights. Although I do understand that many here might be impatient with culinary metaphors after watching Dino Babers try to bake a cake for six years.

That’s what I thought. Mom said at least a 12 hour drive. So about the same as flying to Syracuse.

We all know that you are only a mediocre mustache away from him. Come out of that corner with guns blazing.

 

[MikeSU02]

Deuce Knight is Ole Miss' QB next year assuming Chambliss doesn't win his 867th appeal, right?

 

[OttosShoes]

I agree, and did mention I don’t think that’s it specifically. Point was just an example of why what we’ve heard isn’t implausible.

These things have a lot of intrigue when they’re mysteries, and if and when people find out the practical reason it’s usually just a shrug and move on.

 

[rrlbees]

and then there was 1. of the top 35 rated wr's in the portal gill is the only one left. of all those still available cook is now at 4.

He’s 81 years old.

Here's the story of a man named Sammy...

 

[AngryOtto]

He’ll get paid at ol miss. Hopefully works out for him. I’m good with our wr core. Feel the money him and cook may have wanted was used for different positions. We filed needs and still have a strong core of wr. Now we just need to make sure we have a qb that can get them the ball.

So he’s signing with an unproven transfer, now on his third team in two years. That’s better than Angeli? Bold strategy. Hope it works out for him.

 

[JRHEETER]

This is a very curious case...

With him not committing yet...does his transfer make us worry that Angeli may not be back for the start of the season? It was always going to be close, certainly makes you wonder

Based on comments here it wasn’t Gill’s intention to transfer. It sounds like he was nudged out. I wonder if there was so much money being offered that Fran persuaded him to go get it.
