No school has ever gotten the top three players in a recruiting class before. Here are the SEC schools that have never been to the title game: Ole Miss, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt. (Also, A&M and Mizzou, but they've been in the conference for a year, stop with the stupid emails). Either Hugh Freeze is the greatest recruiting head coach in the history of the universe or something fishy is going on in Oxford. I eagerly await ESPN's 60 for 60 on the Ole Miss class of 2013.

It says a LOT when OM signs more five stars than coaches like Kiffin (known slime ball), Saban, Mack Brown, Les Miles, etc...

I know Mack Brown has NEVER signed that many five star recruits, EVER. I think Saban has, but not really sure. The question is whether five five star recruits and a bunch of three stars is better than 20 four star recruits?

The really interesting part is that all of the great recruits were recent. The rest of the class is meh at best. How do you legitimately go from a bunch of three stars to a group of five stars just all deciding to play together? That is the real issue here.

Hell, the Nike school that openly buys everything cannot pull that many five star recruits, and THEY are being investigated.
