SUMMARY: Southern Miss prepares for the 2024 college football season as head coach Will Hall, along with players Tai Mims and Jalil Clemens, addressed the media at Sun Belt Media Days in New Orleans. After a disappointing previous season with a 3-9 record, the Eagles showed promise with late-season wins. This year’s schedule is challenging, featuring seven teams with winning records and ten that participated in bowl games. Hall is optimistic about the team’s recruitment efforts and transfers, aiming for improved performance in his fourth year. Southern Miss will kick off the season against Kentucky, their last SEC victory coming in 2016.

SUMMARY: The future of the Legacy Park multi-use center in Jackson County is uncertain due to funding issues. Originally planned as a retail, restaurant, and healthcare hub, recent revisions now focus solely on a memorial endoscopy facility. Developer Dr. Saka expresses disappointment, highlighting the project’s potential impact on the community. The Jackson County Board of Supervisors has encouraged a partnership with Singing River Health System to enhance local investment, but negotiations have been challenging. Meanwhile, the Board is pursuing a separate $35 million Bass Pro Shops project that won’t benefit county sales tax. An open discussion is scheduled for March 3rd.
