'In all likelihood' QB Connor Shaw will start

In his press conference on Sunday, South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier said that, "in all likelihood, Connor (Shaw) will go back to starting" at QB.

COming off of their first two losses of the season, the Gamecocks face Tennessee on Saturday. "Every Gamecock alive knows we need to run the ball," Spurrier said. Sophomore Dylan Thompson spelled Shaw for a couple of series against Florida, but SHaw gives the program their best chance to win.

Report: FAU may discipline WR Kamrin Solomon

OwlAccess.com's Chuck King reports that FAU is considering taking disciplinary action against senior WR Kamrin Solomon for his alleged role in the fight that led to felony battery charges levied against fellow WR Kalib Woods.

King's sources identified Solomon as the second shirtless fighter in the surveillance video during the altercation. Solomon (6'2/205), the offensive MVP over the spring, is the projected starting slot receiver. Henry Bussey and D’Anfernee McGriff would fight for that designation if he's suspended or dismissed.

Resignation saved Freeze from getting fired

Ole Miss AD Ross Bjork said former HC Hugh Freeze would have been fired for cause had he not resigned.

Freeze resigned as the head coach at Ole Miss on Thursday after it became known that least one call from his university-issued cell phone was placed to an escort service. Freeze told Yahoo! Sports that the call was a misdial. Bjork responded by writing that "further vetting of Freeze’s phone records disclosed a ‘pattern of conduct’ that led the school administration to confront Freeze this week" and that the "moral turpitude" clause in Freeze’s contract would have been invoked in a firing had Freeze not stepped down first. According to Bjork, Freeze received no buyout and no settlement. OL coach Matt Luke was named interim head coach.

Seminoles land four-star 2019 CB Dent

Florida State received a verbal commitment from four-star 2019 CB Akeem Dent.

"Dent really gets downhill in a hurry, flashing big-time closing speed and acceleration, but also does a nice job of playing under control," Scout.com noted in their breakdown of the 6-foot, 170-pound stalwart out of Wellington, Florida. The outlet additionally passes along that Dent has shown an ability to excel at both corner and safety during his high school career. He ranks as Scout's No. 9 overall prospect for the 2019 cycle and stands as their No. 1 corner in the class.

Rebs take first post-Freeze recruiting hit

Ole Miss three-star 2019 CB Bobby Wolfe reopened his recruitment.

Wolfe (6'2/175) becomes the first player to decommit from Ole Miss in the wake of HC Hugh Freeze's resignation on Thursday. While no pledges in the 2018 class have backed off their commitments as of yet, those might start to filter out in the coming days. Three-star 2018 OL commit Blaine Scott told ESPN, "Right now I'm just laying low. I will make a decision in a few days." Realistically, it's going to be a very tough hill to climb for Ole Miss to remain legitimately relevant in recruiting for the foreseeable future.

GSU Eagles QB Shuman focusing on baseball

Georgia Southern sophomore QB Seth Shuman will not play football this season while he focuses on baseball.

Shuman (6'1/195) was selected by the Orioles in the 39th round of the 2016 amateur draft. On the gridiron, he played in five games as a true freshman last season, rushing for 39 yards on eight carries while throwing for 357 yards with a 1/3 TD/INT ratio. He was in line to start for the coming season, but that burden will now fall to one of Alabama State transfer Ellis Richardson, redshirt freshman Shai Werts or JUCO transfer Kado Brown.

Ole Miss HC Freeze resigns amid scandal

Ole Miss HC Hugh Freeze has resigned.

Yahoo Sports' Pat Forde indicated on Thursday evening that "explosive new information" had Freeze facing a potential firing. We know what that information is now -- USA Today's Dan Wolken is reporting that Freeze made a one-minute call to a number associated with an escort service on a university-issued phone on January 19, 2016. Per Wolken, this arose as information in talks between "the university’s legal counsel and the attorney for former Rebels football coach Houston Nutt." Nutt is suing the university for an alleged smear campaign in the wake of numerous NCAA violations being levied against the program, violations which they have tried to steer away from Freeze. Ole Miss AD Ross Bjork cited Freeze's personal misconduct (and not the NCAA violations) when speaking with ESPN regarding the resignation, saying that university officials discovered a pattern of phone calls. With the season just over a month away, OL coach Matt Luke has been named interim head coach.

Report: Freeze's job in immediate jeopardy

Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports reports that "explosive new information has put Ole Miss [head] coach Hugh Freeze's job in immediate jeopardy."

Forde writes that "a decision should come soon." We would assume that this relates in some way to the mass of NCAA violations being levied against Freeze, but expect further information to surface in the coming days. On top of the NCAA's probe, former Rebs HC Houston Nutt is also suing the university for what he claims is a smear campaign against him to attempt to shift the blame in the ongoing investigation into various possible forms of shadiness at Ole Miss. Stay tuned.
