RB Akylin Dear 55% (Alabama)
WR Caleb Cunningham 50% (Alabama)
LB Elijah Melendez 60% (Miami)
LB Tyler Lockhart 45% (formally Auburn, potentially Auburn again)

Discuss...

He also has the #1 OL in Curne flipping from LSU.

Never seen a more ambitious Flipmas but I guess you never know.

That dude took the Dear and Cunningham commits to Alabama way too personal.

Maybe ole miss flips Curne from LSU but I know LSU has always assumed the biggest fear is Arkansas getting its shite together. Our NIL is pretty dialed in, this isn’t a grove collective theft deal.

But really I’ve never seen a major sec program’s recruiting page have such a flipmas. Either the public is oblivious to ole miss working magic or this guy is a fig desperate to sell subscriptions

That is some serious delusion.

Too many fans masquerading as analysts on the On3 and 247 team sites. Alabama is guilty of this too.

I don't think saying he thinks someone has a 45% chance to flip to Ole Miss is a prediction that Ole Miss will flip them.

The highest prediction percentage here is 60%. He's not confident in any of them.

It's pretty obvious that's what he's saying.

To be fair most On3 writers for other schools post prediction classes with who they think will end up in their class, not “this is my class prediction but also more of a prospect board”

But on the other hand it is his prediction for who ole miss is signing. Does ole miss not have backup plan for Deuce Knight? He’s predicting ole miss to flip knight with a confidence level that exonerates him from whiffing. In fact he has all of these major flips between 45-55%

If I were an ole miss fan I’d be pretty concerned about this recruiting class if this is what Kiffin is banking on. I’m a huge lane fan but ole miss is about to have an incredible amount of turnover and currently a weak class.

A lot of the flips make sense. I feel like Mississippi has been impossible to poach recruits besides Alabama raiding the state.

Going to sound like captain obvious but what a crucial year for ole miss and lane. Rebs could have a huge season and ride the wave to major recruiting or this could be a complete fricking disaster

Never worried about Lane and QB recruiting. And frankly, the days of missing a HS recruit really affecting you are over since you can fill needs through the portal. Sometimes you fill the need with the HS player you missed.

But he isn’t predicting them on flipping. He’s just saying what his percentage of confidence is.

Curne will not flip for the same or less money.
Kids don't give a sh*t about the school any more, it's all about the money.
Highest bid gets Curne (and others).

The Jim Jones Red and Blue Kool-aid ain't something to be playing around with. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

The players listed are the ones he’s putting in his final class prediction.

This is really bizarre. The article is a class prediction piece.

He isn’t confident in it happening, but he is in fact predicting all of these flips to happen in his article.

The LSU board would turn into the titanic if shea Dixon’s class prediction is mainly comprised of 5-8 elite guys committed to other rivals flipping. It could happen but so unlikely
