As of today, the Crimson Tide are roaring toward the No. 1 class in America for 2026—again—and if current trends continue, Kalen DeBoer could end up doing the unthinkable: out-recruiting the…

PART 1: THE EARTHQUAKE IN OXFORD OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI — The ground didn’t just shake. It split wide open. In a move that has stunned the college football world and left ESPN’s top analysts scrambling for words, Lane Kiffin—Ole Miss’s fearless, often polarizing head coach—has pulled off what may go down as the most audacious roster overhaul in NCAA history.
