Now-fourth-year head coach Lane Kiffin spoke for nearly 30 minutes at the podium in the main ballroom on Thursday. Among the topics covered was the poor finish to the season for the Rebels a year ago.

Ole Miss baseball ultimately cleaned up in the portal. And the Rebels might not be done. Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

In this edition of Talk of Champions, Ben Garrett of the Ole Miss Spirit/On3 is joined by Rebel baseball hitting coach Mike Clement. The Rebels on Monday double-dipped in the NCAA Transfer Portal for a pair of potential plug-and-play starters, including coveted Arizona State transfer Luke Hill.

Hill slides in for Jacob Gonzalez — a recent first-round MLB Draft selection of the Chicago White Sox — in a position previously reserved for incoming freshman and former Top 30 prospect Cooper Pratt.

But just as the draft taketh, it giveth, too. Ole Miss is getting back slugger Ethan Lege, as well as top-end arm Xavier Rivas, though Lege is likely in for a position switch, as explained by Clement.

Ole Miss brought in Duke transfer Andrew Fischer to man third.

“As far as places of need and filling holes and checking boxes, we’re in a really good place,” Clement said. “To ever close the door (on more additions) would probably be foolish.

“I don’t ever want to close the door.”
