FS South Swings Through Oxford

Ray Goodrich and our friends at FS South stopped in town Monday to talk with some of the Rebel coaches and players for SEC Gridiron Live and for use in the network's in-season footage. Always entertaining journalism major Kentrell Lockett is our best players when it comes to dealing with the media, and as part of yesterday's shoot, Lockett had a funny one-on-one interview with Brandon Bolden.

Baseball America On Pomeranz

As we blogged Sunday, media are taking notice of Ole Miss ace Drew Pomeranz. With a 4-0 mark on the nation's No. 11 team, it's hard not to. Drew was under the spotlight yesterday in Baseball America's College Blog. Click and scroll to the bottom of the post.

New York, New York

Ole Miss players, coaches and staff have been taking in the sights and sounds of New York City since arriving on Sunday afternoon for this week's NIT Final Four. Go to our story on OleMissSports.com to read about the team's trip so far and view a photo gallery.

Terrico White takes in the sights.

Pomeranz Featured On Yahoo

Ole Miss goes for the series sweep of No. 2 Florida today, and once again this weekend, the tone was set Friday night by junior ace Drew Pomeranz, holding the Gators to one run and five hits with nine Ks over 7.1 innings to improve to 4-0. The southpaw All-American candidate is the reigning SEC Pitcher of the Week and has a chance to pick it up the accolade again tomorrow for the third time this year. National media are taking more and more notice of Drew, and he was featured earlier this week on Yahoo Sports.

Sanders Now Prep Head Coach

Ole Miss' 2001 Sweet 16 team continues to churn out coaches. The latest is David Sanders who was named head coach at Northwest Rankin earlier this week. Two others from that 01 squad are at Holmes Community College, where Jason Flanigan is the head coach and Jason Harrison is the assistant. In addition, after a successful stint at Taylorsville, Rahim Lockhart is now right down the road from Oxford as the head coach at Grenada High School.

Rebel Ties In Big Dance

If you're watching tonight's NCAA Sweet 16 games, you've noticed a familiar name in the Washington starting lineup. In the Huskies backcourt is sophomore Elston Turner, who is indeed the son of the Ole Miss great with the same name. The Turner family was the subject of a recent feature in the Seattle Times. On a side note, fellow Washington guard Isaiah Thomas is NOT the son of the NBA legend. His father, James, lost a friendly wager on a Lakers-Pistons playoff game in 1989.

In the other major postseason tourney, Ole Miss has rolled on to the NIT Final Four and will face Dayton Tuesday night. If you're an NYC Rebel or making the trip to the Big Apple, order your tickets now.

Ole Miss Pro Day Results In

Ole Miss Pro Day was held on Tuesday in Oxford, and by all accounts was a success for our 20-plus Rebels hoping to extend their playing career. Most notably, Dexter McCluster improved his 40-time from 4.56 at the Combine to 4.44. Our friend "The Godfather" Gil Brandt has posted all of the official times and results from the event on his nfl.com blog. Check it out.

Dori Carter Makes Successful Pro Debut

Two-time Ole Miss All-American Dori Carter is now getting paid to play golf. The Valdosta, Ga., native made her debut on the LPGA Futures Tour last weekend at the Florida Natural Classic in Winterhaven. The event was shortened to 36 holes after rain cancelled the final round. Carter tied for 16th with an even par 144.

Where does Carter go from there? She's in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico getting ready to play in the inaugural Mexico Classic at El Tigre Golf Club. The tournament starts on Friday.


Not a bad place to spend a few days.

Ole Miss Pro Day Set For Tomorrow

The Ole Miss Rebel football team will hold its annual Pro Day for former players tomorrow at the Indoor Practice Facility on campus beginning at 9 a.m. The event is closed to the general public.

Scouts from all 32 NFL teams are expected to attend the workout for Dex, Jevan, John Jerry and all former Rebels. Stay tuned to OleMissSportsBlog.com tomorrow for updates and photos.

In the mean-time here are a few photos from last year's event that featured two future first-round pick in Peria Jerry and Micheal Oher. Photos courtesy of Joey Brent.

Terrico On Fire

The NIT has been the Terrico White show thus far, as the sophomore guard has notched back-to-back 20-point games through the first two rounds. Last night, Terrico lit up his hometown Memphis Tigers for a game-high 21 points, as Ron Higgins wrote about in today's Commercial Appeal. Performances like last night come as no surprise to Rebels fans (see 2008-09), and are probably expected by those in the Bluff City who saw Terrico in action during his days at Craigmont High. Here are some old prep highlights that are floating around on youtube.



BTW, Ole Miss is one game away from a return trip to the Big Apple for its second NIT Final Four in two seasons. Tuesday's game will be at home, and you can click here for tickets.
