I know right, Bama would never give money to a recruit. That guy is probably about as credible as Yancy Porter or the people from Genes page.camlock wrote:Alabama talking caca about dirty recruiting...that's good stuff on a Wed morning.

From the way you guys are bickering, one might possibly assume that Ole Miss is relevant.

Cam and myself go way back and we just like to push each others buttons, but Ole Miss is on the verge of becoming relevant if they pull off this class and get them in scho and develop them. Net his class would be a great one to build off of, but Freeze may want to concentrate on OL next year. With the beating Wallace took I thought he may want to pick up more than two 3 star OL. I know they are after Tunsill but I don't think they get him.webbmaster wrote:From the way you guys are bickering, one might possibly assume that Ole Miss is relevant.

I think we do...and I also think we get Austin Golson and Christian Morris...to go along with Daronte Bouldin and Davion Johnson out of state of MS...solid OL class...mshunter77 wrote:I know they are after Tunsill but I don't think they get him.
and I wouldn't be shocked if they ended up with Mix somehow as well if numbers were to line up

Tunsill would be a huge boost to the OL class. Hasn't Mix said from the start that he did not want to go to Ole Miss. Also I think Golson is going to be a bust but I am not a talent evaluator or college coach.

Anthony Dasher - UGAsports.com wrote:Georgia was thought to be the leader for the services of offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, but UGASports has learned that is apparently no longer the case.
According to a source very familiar with the situation, Georgia appears to be out of the running for the five-star performer.
Tunsil is expected to sign with Ole Miss.
If true, what now for the Bulldogs?
Georgia currently has Josh Cardiello and Aulden Bynum as early enrollees, along with verbal commit Brandon Kublanow, who is expected to sign with the Bulldogs on Wednesday.
However, with Tunsil apparently now out of the picture, Georgia is reportedly turning to plan B.
According to UGASports football analyst Jake Rowe, the Bulldogs have expressed interest in Alpharetta offensive tackle George Adeosun and continue to be in touch with North Gwinnett's DeVondre Seymour, who is expected to have to attend prep school before enrolling in a four-year school.

From CBS sports
From @SportsGuyTy: Which recent recruiting class in college football most closely resembles what OleMiss is likely to pull off on Wednesday?
None.
I cant recall any upstart (one that isnt a traditional Top 25 kinda program) ever creating such buzz this close to signing day in college football. Granted, we have a relatively small window of about 10 years or so since folks have been ranking and paying much attention to the world of college football recruiting. I looked back at the recruiting rankings for college hoops and it seems like that world is a lot more prone to this kind of thing.
According to Rivals basketball recruiting rankings, Florida State in 2003 had the top-ranked class. Oregon also created a splash with a class in 2004 headlined by Top 10 prospect Malik Hairston. USC did something similar when its class had O.J. Mayo and Davon Jefferson. Same with K-State s class starring Michael Beasley, Bill Walker and Jacob Pullen in 07.
Obviously, this kind of thing sparks a lot of suspicion. When I worked on Meat Market, I recall coach Ed Orgeron telling his staff that if Ole Miss landed (top-ranked recruit) Joe McKnight, the Rebels would get investigated by the NCAA. Hugh Freeze, who was an assistant under Orgeron, knows skeptics are out there. People are already whispering. Then again, Ive talked to a bunch of college coaches in the past two weeks and theres a lot of skepticism swirling about the dealings of a lot of schools, not just ones that arent traditional Top 10 schools. I've heard plenty of gossip about some of the shady dealings of the big schools, too. They range from how a recruit from a very modest background has been able to afford to take numerous unofficial visits to a school several states away to high school coaches completely steering a kid to a certain school. But no doubt Ole Miss has emerged as the biggest story of Signing Day.
Jason Kirk at SB Nation had an interesting article examining this topic, titled Is Hugh Freezes 2013 turnaround too good to be true?
Kirk looks at other schools that have made a huge one-year jump in the recruiting rankings and found that only 2005 Nebraska has done what the Rebels may be in the process of doing. (Cynics also noted that those Huskers did have John Blake on Bill Callahans staff as an ace recruiter.) The thing is, every program save for one on Kirks list except for Ole Miss has been a traditional powerhouse. The lone exception: Stanford in 2012, which was coming off consecutive top-eight finishes and back-to-back BCS bowl trips.
To me, the most relevant example from Kirks research of an outsider program making some national recruiting noise was Tim Brewsters Minnesota team in 2008. (They were ranked No. 17). But that class didnt have any of the recruits that are creating the buzz the level of who Freeze is close to landing. There wasn't a single five-star in the Gophers class. Last year, Vandy and coach James Franklin got a lot of attention for reeling in several blue-chippers early. (Vandy?!? Right, Vandy.) But still, that class (with three four-stars and zero five-stars) only ended up ranking No. 29. This Rebel class is on a whole different level in terms of star power.
Its not just Robert Nkemdiche, the nations consensus No. 1 recruit. As I mentioned the other day, Ole Miss also has a commitment from the nations top wideout, Laquon Treadwell, a player some rival college coaches think has more of a gap between himself and every other receiver than there is between Nkemdiche and all other DLs. Word is that Treadwell, whose buddy, CB Anthony Standifer, was signed by the Rebels last year, has been a great recruiter for Ole Miss.
The Rebels also already have signed the nations top JC player, DT Lavon Hooks. In addition, they have committed Top 30 recruit Elijah Daniels, who is a five-star DE, and four other four-star recruits: WR Nick Brassell; RB Kailo Moore; DT Jarran Reed and RB Mark Dodson. Those guys alone plus Nkemdiche would blow away any other upstart class. But theres also speculation that the Rebels could also land the nations top OT, Laremy Tunsil, five-star safety Tony Conner and maybe the country No. 2 player as well in Missisippi State commit Chris Jones although Im told Jones probably stays with State. Still, this sounds like a No. 1 class potentially, not just a top 10 class.
Ole Miss had a top-15 ranked class in 2006, which Orgeron signed the day I started working on Meat Market. That class actually exceeded expectations but did so more because of its three-star guys than due to the two five-stars (QB Brent Schaeffer and DT Jerrell Powe). Some of the unheralded three-stars who really shined were Dexter McCluster, DE Greg Hardy, DB Kendrick Lewis, WR Shay Hodge, and CB Cassius Vaughn.
Itll be fascinating to see how Freeze closes and then what happens with this group in the aftermath.

Looks like your OC still has the recruiting skills he honed at Miami, how has that worked out for the Canes?

You should read up on Werner, he's a helluva man, and when u do read up on him you'll find out because of his personal life and situation he hardly recruits any at Ole Miss.mshunter77 wrote:Looks like your OC still has the recruiting skills he honed at Miami, how has that worked out for the Canes?
