Ole Miss football coach Pete Golding addressed potential additions of newly eligible players during a press conference following the team's first fall practice on August 6.

He mentioned that roster spots are limited, and while he has had discussions about possibly adding players, any changes would depend on unforeseen circumstances, such as injuries. The NCAA is currently appealing the ruling, adding another layer of uncertainty.
