Fall camp closed on August 22. For eighteen days Ole Miss published no depth chart, no availability report and no captains list — long enough that beat writers were running projected two-deeps, which is something you only do when a real one does not exist. On Wednesday, Ole Miss published one. The line that matters is the right side of the offensive line: Tommy Kinsler IV is listed as the starting right tackle with Connor Howes behind him. Kinsler is the player who went down against Louisville; Howes is the one who replaced him — and Ole Miss did not give up a sack in that game with a backup right tackle finishing it. The honest counterweight: a depth chart in Week 2 is a formality. The word "OR" appears all over this one — at end, strong safety, corner and tight end — and Pete Golding has named rooms rather than players all season. In segment two — the name that is not on the chart at all. Samari Reed was voted the most improved player on the team coming out of camp, a team award rather than media chatter, and he does not appear anywhere on the first two-deep. A camp award is a reward for August. A depth chart is a decision about September. Who plays their way onto it by October? Tell me in the comments.
