During a productive preseason camp, the Ole Miss Rebels had a fun and family-like atmosphere entering 2024 season.
In a press conference leading up to Saturday's season opener against Furman, Kiffin, the head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels, was asked about the leadership and vibe of a club house full of transfers. While getting new players to gel into an existing team culture takes time, he thinks his team is on the right foot.
"Everybody talks about family, and we don't really promote that in recruiting like a lot of people do because I think it's overused and inaccurate," Kiffin said. "But this unit and staff and players and building really feel like a family." The atmosphere in Oxford has backed up Kiffin's statement perfectly. The Rebels are ranked sixth in the AP Poll heading into Week 1 and have a ton of returning members along with someWhile all of that is great, the world got to see what kind of bond this team has with a viral video of some coaches playing a short-sided basketball game during a team meeting. Coach Kevin Smith took on another coach in a one-versus-one matchup and made a jump shot over him, sending the whole team into a frenzy.
While the vibes are positive among the team and staff, the Rebels look to prove they belong in the Top 10 this weekend as they begin their season against Furman on Saturday at 6 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.
