I don't know if it has been addressed on this board, but something just doesn't seem right about what's going on with Ole Miss getting all of these highly ranked recruits. Don't have any proof, but it just doesn't make sense - kinda like taking a filet mignon into a Porta Potty. What do y'all think?

I really think that Hugh Freeze coming straight from the HS coaching ranks, gives him an edge on building good relationships with HS coaches. That's the first step to good recruiting. And just maybe, he has taken a few pages from the CNS book of recruiting. I also think that Ole Miss trying to change their image of a Civil War themed legacy, has had an impact on recruiting black players.

Is this the reason for their apparent immense success this year? Don't really know. Maybe they recruited the barn's bag man.   

Hugh Freeze has not been a high school coach for several years. He went to Ole Miss under Ed Orgeron, amazingly right after Michael Oher signed with Ole Miss. Orgeron recruited well but could not develop the talent. Many people thought Orgeron was recruiting illegally.

Freeze is a good coach. He did well at Arkansas State and looks like he has Ole Miss headed in the right direction. I don't know how he is getting the recruits but he has a good class ready to sign tomorrow.

"kinda like taking a filet mignon into a Porta Potty"

I don't care who you are, that there is funny.

I would love to see us tell one of these high profile guys who wait until tomorrow that we can't take him because we don't have any more room.  You snooze, you lose.  Can you imagine having an ESPN press conference to announce that you are going to Alabama, and then having to turn around and have another one an hour later to announce you had to go somewhere else because CNS didn't get your LOI before he ran out of spots?  That would be awesome.

I stand corrected. He does, however, have said HS coaching experience.

Here's a good article about Ole Miss' recruiting from ESPN.

I wonder what kind of entertainment they have over in Oxford. They say there are some very pretty girls over there. ;) :dunno:

Where is Chech when I need him. :(

Being ignored on Woolly!

Best class in Ole Miss history? BFD

That's too bad, we could sure use him on our forum, it's more like a morgue anymore. I enjoyed what he brought to CRS. :D

Well, you know where he is!

No I really don't because I don't hang out at Woolly but you seem to know plenty about it. No big deal to me, I just considered him an asset to CRS when he was active on the forum.

I agree.

As of a few minutes ago, ESPN has Ole Miss in the top 5 classes.  Just doesn't make sense.  Either something shady is going on or Freezer is a better recruiter than we knew or we are all missing something.

It's funny that you started this thread because as soon as Ole Miss signed the 3 top player, I looked at my husband and said that something was fishy about Ole Miss this year.  I hope it's not but it sure is odd.

Chech left CRS? When did he leave? Why?

At the end of the day, they are still Ole Miss! HTH

The Ole Miss Black Bears are reaping the benefits of winning the BBVA Compass Bowl in B'ham. LOL

You know, Ole Miss has always been a sticker in our flesh. For some reason they play their best football against us. RTR!

#+ LOL. So does everyone else. Hard to believe that was Notre Dame's best shot,...but truth be known...!

Yea I know BAMAWV and you know this goes all they way back to the 1960's too. They had some good coaches of course the "Bear" would teach them a lesson but they came close many times. RTR!

You all understand people ask the same questions about Bama because they continue to recruit top classes every year.
