Lane Kiffin has finally succeeded in his intentions as his desperate attempts to get Caleb Cunningham’s comment have finally become a reality. The rat race between Bama and Ole Miss to secure Caleb’s commitment has been making waves since the start of the season. Initially, when Caleb chose the Tide, it seemed like the end of the war. However, that was not the case in Kiffin’s world, and now that he finally has Cunningham’s commitment, how can Alabama not make a big fuss about it?

Today On3’s transfer portal reporter Hayes Fawcett took to his Instagram account to share the news of Choctaw County’s wide receiver Caleb Cunningham’s recent switch from Bama to Ole Miss, saying, “BREAKING: Five-Star WR Caleb Cunningham has Flipped His Commitment from Alabama to Ole Miss.” Well, it became almost evident after Lane Kiffin’s constant efforts to get him into the team. However, how come Bama let it slide easily? As in the same post, Duncanville and Tide’s five-star quarterback commit Keelon Russell made a very enigmatic comment, saying, “😂😂.” It looks like Russell finds Caleb’s decision funny and flawed.

Well, whatever might be the intention behind Keelon’s comment, one thing is apparent for sure: Caleb Cunningham did miss an opportunity to make another Shedeur-Travis duo in college football. Knowing the fact that Alabama has Keelon Russell’s commitment, their duo would have done wonders next season. However, the Rebels are also trying to get Auburn quarterback Deuce Knight onto their roster, as he also recently visited their showdown against the Bulldogs. But there is still an uncertainty lying there, but with Bama, that was not the case.

Moreover, it seems Keelon Russell couldn’t make peace with Caleb Cunningham’s decision to pledge to Ole Miss, as he even commented on Hayes Fawcett’s Twitter post saying, “Ok, brudda👌🏾.” Both of their partnerships could have made a bigger impact on the game, but for now, that is not the case. With all this opinion, let’s know about Caleb’s mindset behind this sudden move.

Caleb Cunningham’s reason behind the switch

Caleb Cunningham could have made a notable impact on the game, following in the footsteps of wide receiver Ryan Williams. Ryan has been showcasing remarkable gameplay this season, with 731 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. This would have been a great advantage for Caleb, considering that the team has always given opportunities to young and budding players. Which could have allowed Cunningham to add even more impressive numbers to his track record.

However, Caleb Cunningham doesn’t think it the same way as Lane Kiffin, and his persistent attempts to get him into the program impressed him. After making the big announcement, Caleb talked about his reason for flipping his commitment from Bama to Ole Miss, saying, “They haven’t stopped recruiting me since day one. They definitely show that they really want me.” Man Kalen DeBoer and the team should have made it tougher for Ole Miss to snatch away their future top pass catcher. Let’s see how well Caleb Cunningham performs under Lane Kiffin’s guidance.
