Burdette committed to Hugh Freeze at Arkansas State and switched to Ole Miss in late January. Originally a running back, he was forced to play quarterback as a senior. He rushed for over 1,200 yards as a junior at the running back position. Listed as an athlete, he could play in the defensive secondary or at running back for the Rebels.

With signing day less than a week away, The Daily Mississippian’s Bennett Hipp gives a few of the prospects that are still being pursued by Ole Miss. This isn’t an inclusive list, and names are listed alphabetically.

The undergraduate accountancy program at the University of Mississippi was recently ranked No. 10 in the nation among public universities by the Public Accounting Report.
The Patterson School of Accountancy was also ranked No. 11 for its master’s degree program and no. 12 its the doctoral program.
Ole Miss was not the only SEC school to slide up in the ranks, as Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee are also in the top 30; however, Ole Miss was the only one to slide into the top 10.

SOUTHAVEN  - Ole Miss started the season 9-1, winning six straight after a 30-point loss to Marquette in the Paradise Jam Tournament.

 However, the Rebels (9-3) lost 86-82 at Southern Miss this past Saturday, followed by a 68-56 loss to Middle Tennessee State in Southaven Wednesday night.

 “We just have a lot of inefficiencies,” Kennedy said of his team. “We don’t have one guy that’s really struggling. It’s our team. It’s our inability as a team.”

Updated with the subtractions of Rich Rodriguez (the new head coach at Arizona) and Kevin Sumlin (head coach at Houston), the re-addition of Manny Diaz (defensive coordinator at Texas) and the new addition of Todd Monken (offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State).

Diaz's and Monken's bios at the top. Followed by national statistics rankings for each of the 10 potential head coach candidates with the exception of Mike Leach, who is currently not coaching.

In addition to football’s homecoming game and season openers for men’s and women’s hoops, this is also senior weekend for the Ole Miss volleyball team. 

The Rebels (9-15, 5-11 SEC) take on two ranked Southeastern Conference opponents, No. 15 Tennessee (22-3, 14-1 SEC) and No. 18 Kentucky (22-4, 13-2 SEC). The Rebels will honor their two senior players, Morgan Springer and Regina Thomas.

Voters may soon  be required to present a photo ID before casting their ballot.

Initiative 27 was approved Tuesday with 63 percent to 37 percent statewide vote.

“It just makes me feel more confident that all the people voting are registered and have a right to be there voting,” said David Allen, an Oxford resident and nurse. “It feels safe, like along the same lines of when you charge for something on credit card and they ask for your ID.”

To the Editor: 

Riding a three-game winning streak, the Ole Miss volleyball team will hit the road this weekend to take on South Carolina and No. 17 Florida. The winning streak started with a big road win at LSU before sweeping Georgia and Auburn at home last weekend.

“We had a great weekend for our program,” assistant coach Shannon Wells said. “Swept both conference opponents this weekend so it is the first time we have done that all season.”
