Ole Miss Rebels<\/strong><\/a> head football coach Lane Kiffin<\/a><\/strong> is a big fan of the transfer portal. But what he is not a fan of is the restrictions the SEC has on the second portal opening following the conclusion of spring practices. In the first transfer portal window, from Dec. 5 to Jan. 18, Kiffin was able to recruit former North Carolina State defensive lineman Joshua Harris<\/a><\/strong> to come to Oxford, MS.<\/p>\n

During the offseason, in Ole Miss\u2019 spring practices, Harris has looked good playing in the interior of the Rebels\u2019 defensive line. But is he fulfilling the role he was recruited to do? According to Kiffin, yes, Harris has done that and then some.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe really filled a void of someone that had played and had been a true zero nose, which haven\u2019t necessarily had that body type exactly,\u201d said Kiffin.<\/a> \u201cSo, it was really good to get him. We knew the coaches there well and did a lot of background on him. And I\u2019m really excited that he\u2019s here. (He) was actually a player of the game or defense two Saturdays ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the second transfer window, the SEC conference prohibits in-conference transferring. Fortunately, when it comes to Harris, he is from outside of the conference, so this transfer to Ole Miss would not have been affected either way. Still, Kiffin is not thrilled with the rules and lets it be known while discussing Harris.<\/p>\n

Kiffin on the second transfer window<\/h2>\n

\u201cWell, I think, in general, it\u2019s unique because we basically have two free agency windows. Now we got another one coming up that is not (for) the SEC, which is really bizarre. It\u2019s like we\u2019re in the AFC West, but we can\u2019t get AFC West players. And ours can\u2019t leave to other AFC West teams, but everybody else can.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you kind of had a first round, and now you gotta spring to go through, see how players work, see how your current players work, the new ones. And then you got another round here of free agency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unlike the winter window, which is open for 45 days come on the college football spring transfer window is open a third of that time, just 15 days. The second window officially opens on Apr. 15, and we\u2019ll close Apr. 30. If Kiffin and the rebels have their eyes on any players, comedy must act fast before the Apr. 30 deadline. And whether he likes it or not, Kiffin must keep his hands off of all SEC transfers until the next winter window opens, which will be in December of 2023.<\/p>\n
