Would you guys rather he had committed closer to signing day? I mean its close to a year away and by Shea being a great pick up I am assuming the momentum from today would have died down by February. No attempt at a troll job just something to discuss. Congrats on the pick up. Geaux Tigers!

Um, he's a 5* quarterback. Unless Eli was a 5* we have never signed one before. I don't give a frick when he decided to sign.

He's an early enroller, has stated that his recruitment is shut down and he is only focused on recruiting for us. We don't have to keep courting him until February. We're really just banking on his word, whatever that means. His family seems to like us too.

He's enrolling early. He'll be in class at Ole Miss next February.

Not an Ole Miss fan, but I'd rather have the high ranked qb commit ASAP. High ranked QBs put together beastly classes. For us, Barnett was the reason we held on to Ridley and picked up Damien Harris. Shea can help OM sign a ridiculous class. A lot of WRs will be lining up to sign with OM.

Out of high school, Eli is the only 5* I can think of that we have signed. Brent Schaeffer was a JUCO 5*

I mean, I want as many great receivers as we can get but we're pretty loaded down with them right now

Nope. I'd rather any player commit early and help recruit others to join the class. Other big time players are a lot more willing to commit if they know elite talent will be around them.

I was unaware he was a EE makes a lot more sense.

What Melt? Its just something to discuss, I am personally happy with Franks. Shea is a good QB but I was just curious what Ole Miss fans thought.

Why the would we want him to wait? Now he gets to spend the year traveling the country with DK Metcalf recruiting for us.

Eli was not a 5* in HS. He was a middle of the pack 4*.

Seriously? I could have sworn he was one of the top 2 or 3 quarterback prospects in the nation.

According to this, there weren't any profiles on him at the time

QB Eli Manning: No Rivals profile available, debuted at Mississippi in 2000.

He is helping recruit a top class for us. Honestly more 5 stars should do the same thing.

Congrats Ole Miss fans. Franks or not, I really wanted Patterson and I think he is the superior recruit at this point.

Don't follow recruiting to close but anytime a 5* guy commits recruits take notice imo

Nah, I'd rather him commit now. Saves us some stress and he can recruit for us.
