m not sure that he could ever pull better talent at Auburn than he had at Ole Miss though,

Why do I keep seeing this narrative? Auburn's classes regularly outranked ours. Even in our very best year (2016) Auburn was only a few spots below ours. Yet they were consistently in the top 10 the entire time Hugh was in Oxford. OM has had 2 top 10 recruiting classes ever.

I think people look at what Hugh did in 2013 and 2016 and try to turn that into the norm. As if we were pulling in out of state 5* every year. In reality we were usually around 15-20. His last class was 31st.
