Is it 1950 and not 2013?

Did the stars align and what impact will it have on the SEC West standings next season?

Combination of having connections with certain recruits, and having a great recruiting staff.

RN's brother got RN.

RN got treadwell.

One guy committed, got sent to juco, and earned his 5* status in juco.

One had his brother get a scholly... A kid who isn't even a top 200 REVIEVER in Florida.

partially true. When it was all said and done he was coming to us even if RN announced for LSU on signing day

Our staff deserves credit for getting Tunsil without having any connections.

This pretty much explains. Ole Miss was smart to offer Roberts brother a scholarship which turned out be a smart move seeing how he developed. That basically sold them to Robert. Tunsil's little brother Weber is a nobody WR who they offered a scholly to next year and Treadwell's best friend is on the team as well. It was a perfect storm of smart recruiting to sacrifice scholarships to nobodies to secure really elite talent.

The key is if they arent in the top 20 of recruiting next year, you know it was just circumstance and by no way some god like recruiting acumen.

But sources familiar with Tunsil's recruitment did confirm to ESPN.com that the Rebels have offered a scholarship to his younger brother, Alex Weber, a lightly regarded junior receiver at Columbia High in Lake City, Fla. The Rebels offering Weber a scholarship isn't a violation of NCAA rules. He wasn't included among a list of 232 wide receiver prospects in Florida for the 2014 recruiting cycle.

Doesn't need to be fixed brah. If his brother wasnt there do you really think his mama would randomly want him playing at ole miss? Like I said, his brother being on the team got him for y'all.

By connections I means someone who isn't in our program already that gave us an inroad to him.

True but if momma didn't want him to play with Denzel so bad, he would have gone to LSU or Bama. Almost certain of it. It's a combination of the two.

Ok, but still its like hey your an elite level talent, come play for us and we will give your brother a scholarship offer and more than likely be the only D-1 school to do so. Less recruiting and selling of the program as opposed to special favors and all but buying the recruit with promises.

Surprisingly effective to teenage boys trying to get out of West Hicksville.

He's a diamond in the rough, bro. We actually signed Tunsil to try and get him.
