Someone hacked former Ole Miss OT Laremy Tunsil's social media accounts minutes before the start of the 2016 NFL Draft and posted a video of Tunsil smoking weed out of a gas mask bong and screenshots of a conversation in which Tunsil hit up an associate athletic director for money while at Ole Miss.
After the draft, Tunsil, who lost an approximate $13 million due to his slide, admitted the video and conversations were true before being hustled off stage by a Mississippi press relations agent.
Tunsil, now a millionaire thanks to poetic justice, is off to South Beach to play for the Miami Dolphins. Meanwhile, back in Oxford, things are getting dicey for the Rebels.
From clarionledger.com:
“I know nothing,” [Ole Miss coach Hugh] Freeze said. “I’m not involved in the fact-finding process. I was shocked like everyone else (last Thursday night) living it out in real time but confident that our administration is going to find the facts and then give us a new report on it.
“I’ll be very quick to come out and defend us when it’s something that we know the facts on. I don’t at this present time. I know our administration is working, and I’m told they made a lot of progress, that they’re collecting everything so they know exactly what the facts are before we run out and make any type of response.
“I’m trying to be patient, like I said in my opening statement. That’s difficult for me sometimes because you want to respond. But there’s great wisdom in being patient and making sure you get the facts, and we’re still in that process. Our administration will continue to work with all the parties to reach a conclusion as soon as possible, which we’re hopeful that’s coming quickly.”
"I know nothing!" — Classic response from a man who could be torched if he's proved to know something.
