Why JJ Pegues Will Be a Star in 2023 - Locked On Ole Miss Podcast

How far has JJ Pegues come at Ole Miss, and do coaches use "analytics" as a cover for bad decisions?

Today's Locked On Ole Miss Podcast discusses a player with All-SEC potential for Lane Kiffin and Pete Golding in 2023. 

JJ Pegues has grown over his time in Oxford and seems poised to breakout now that he won't be saddled at NG and can show off his athleticism. The former Auburn Tigers transfer has all of the attributes needed from an elite defensive lineman.

In the second segment of the show, we hit "What you talking about Willis?" and look at the role analytics play in Ole Miss and whether or not they are hurting the Ole Miss Rebels. We look at the game with the Auburn Tigers in 2021 and the Alabama Crimson Tide that same year along with games this past year as examples where analytics--or the appearance thereof--likely cost Ole Miss the football game.

In our final segment of the day, we talk to John Macon Gillespie of The Grove Report about the basketball coaching search, the weird baseball tournament over the weekend and get his opinion on football analytics.
