LISTEN: NIL has killed Egg Bowl Recruiting and the Mississippi State Bulldogs - Locked On Ole Miss Rebels

We talk about the commitment of Travaris Banks and what the means to the Ole Miss football team. We also look at what was once crazy, fun and petty in Egg Bowl recruiting that is now dying.

Today's Locked On Ole Miss Podcast discusses Travaris Banks and his commitment to the Ole Miss Rebels over the Mississippi State Bulldogs this weekend. We talk about how it fits a definite need for the Rebels at strong safety and that he and Andy Jaffe would be a perfect fit for this defense.

In the second segment of the show, we talk about Banks as a player with some strengths and weaknesses that the young man will work on during the next year or so of football. We show his Hudl highlights and let you see what type of player Ole Miss is getting.

In our final segment of the day, we have a "What you talking about Willis?" of me lamenting the loss of Egg Bowl recruiting in the age of NIL. I talk about storied incidents in the past and why that just isn't a weapon anymore with NIL being the gatekeeper.
