PrintReport: Ole Miss. basketball player Holloway to transfer to USC | The Herald
So, after all of the ado surrounding his transfer and the resulting scholarship release denials (because we're all racists, right?), Murph will be heading to Columbia to sit out and pay his way for one year. Best of luck to you, Murph, except when you play the Rebels.
Patterson close to rejoining football team. As for Barksdale? | Brandt
Patterson is a guy who, if he straightens up and plays hard, will be a huge boost to our team. Tig Barksdale is, believe it or not, even more than that as Tig is a legitimate threat to score on the offense and a playmaker on defense. Patterson should be on the team in the "next couple weeks," sayeth Count Giggity while Barksdale has an indeterminable "long way to go" before his reinstatement.
Mitch Hall becomes first Rebel Commit of the 2011 Class | Rivals
And so the crootin' begins. Hall, the 6'6", 330lb younger brother of current Rebel offensive tackle Matt Hall should be one of the top offensive line prospects in Arkansas this upcoming fall.
Abram's autopsy released | GulfLive.com
On a final, somber note, Bennie Abram's autopsy results were released. His collapse during spring drills which led to his untimely and shocking death was the result of complications brought abouty by sickle-cell anemia.

Meh
From the Holloway article:
It’s customary for schools to restrict transfers to teams within the same conference. Where the story gets a bit perplexing is that Mississippi AD Pete Boone also didn’t allow a transfer to Clemson, after stories surfaced that Holloway might be headed for the Tigers.
Boone perceived there to be some form of tampering, even though Clemson has come back to say that was never the case.
Well, there’s a home and home we won’t be seeing anytime soon. Clemson.
Never forget: Chucky Mullins - Tony Fein - Bennie Abram.

The Hall brothers
really excite me for some reason. I’m glad that they’re here (or will be here in Mitch’s case). I think I like the fact that Matt transferred from Arkansas and doesn’t want to send Nutt to the gallows. Plus he’s 6’ 9".
I’m sure the Arkansas fans will be eager to try to hog roast them for leaving their beloved state.

I'll tell you why they excite me.
The brothers Hall seem to fit the mold of that seemingly endless supply of big, nasty, knock you on your ass linemen Nutt and Markuson had at Arkansas most years. There’s a reason the Hogs almost always led the league in rushing during Houston’s tenure. Sure, they ran the ball more than most, but the biggest key was that O-line.
I'm coming in peace, but...
You’re not likely to find many Arkansas fans (myself included) who are going to crucify Matt Hall (or his brother) for beings Rebs. Most of us (again, myself included) couldn’t have told you who he was back when he first decided to transfer. Being buried in the depth chart, despite his size, and some alleged comments by his mother to the effect of “he’d rather play for a coach who will hug him (HDN) instead of scream at him (CBP)” have given him a reputation for being “soft”.
Of course, that just means that he’ll probably end up tearing us to shreds on the field.
I said this after his "Iraq" comments, and I'll say it again.
I refuse to believe that Tig Barksdale will ever play a down for Ole Miss until he is actually on the field when the ball is snapped.
What comments were those?
I must’ve missed the “Iraq” comments you spoke of. I’ve talked to a personal friend of mine close to the South Panola program in Batesville and he has maintained from day 1 that Tig would never touch the field in a game as a rebel because of all these off-field issues (grades, missing class, etc.). I hope he’s wrong, but I don’t expect anything out of him as a football playing rebel (except trouble). Coach Nutt will eventually say THWI and cut ties. I do hope we are wrong though, because he is SUPER talented.
