That text conversation that was published on Laremy Tunsil's Instagram on draft night? Turns out it was real. So says a recent ESPN report claiming Ole Miss officials have confirmed the conversation between the former Ole Miss offensive tackle and Rebel assistant athletics director John Miller did in fact occur.
That doesn't necessarily mean, however, that the screen shots should be taken at face value—ESPN also claims that Ole Miss officials are looking into the possibility that the conversation was altered in some form before being maliciously broadcast to the public.
In other words, Ole Miss admits there was some sort of text conversation between Tunsil and Miller, but have left open the possibility that the details of said conversation were faked.
