Ole Miss currently sits at #48 on 247 2017 Class Rankings list. The usual recruiting suspects like LSU, Bama, Ohio State, etc., are in the Top 10.

My question is two-fold:
- In recent years of OM recruiting prowess, have they lagged this far behind this time of year in team rankings and closed strong, or is this year an outlier; and
- If this year is different, do you think it is due to the NCAA investigation, and/or more scrutiny resulting in an inability to implement the measures that have allowed them to recruit so well in recent years (i.e., pay for play)?

LSU fans should probably worry more about beating the guys we have on campus than the 17 year olds we are recruiting.

This seems like a legit question. I mean the trolls WILL find and shite on this thread but the OP seems legit. I'm curious about this as well.

Last 4 years for Ole Miss:

2013 - 8th
2014 - 15th
2015 - 17th
2016 - 6th

I think when they've finished in the top 10 they've closed strong (big commits in Jan/Feb). Where they are now is likely not a sign of anything for 2017 recruiting. Look for those signs from Oct - Feb.

What I have been hearing is to expect some committs shortly after the reply is made public. But that could all be BS. We are still in on a lot of elite national recuriting we will just have to see how it goes.

My guess would be we finish in the 25 - 15 range still.

Take it for what it's worth, but I've heard that we're sitting on some private commits that will go public as the NCAA thing wraps up, and that they haven't gone public out of respect for the NCAA and the process
