Best way to judge our recruiting is by head to head, where we've lost what to you at this point, exactly? Arguably Ryan Buchanan? Meanwhile, 7 of the top 10 in MS are State commits, with #8 on the way, virtually all of which have OM offers and were actively recruited by Ole Miss.
So do you think that Mullen has and will continue to out recruit Freeze? If the answer is no then STFU. We have head 2 head instate battles with Conner, Kailo, Shumpert, Bouldin, and Buchanan. Those kids were pursued heavily by both schools and both schools would make room for any of them. The rest of the DD, no. Those aren't H2H battles. Would we have taken a commitment from Thomas, Gabe, Austin, and Mix early on? Sure we would. Did we "go after them"? No. I could go on about our OOS battles but this thread is beyond sucking hard.

I'll trust Mullen on these types of players when he takes them early every single time until this trend turns. It was different when he was forced to scramble and take scrubs late in the process like he was in 2010 and 2011. That is no longer a problem for us and never will be again.
As you should. I have said countless times how I think a few of your lower ranked players will be very good. Coaches can always trust early commits after watching the kids with their own eyes at camps. Can you build your team with these kids while not having a foundation of stars and beat anyone worth a shite? No.

I have a need to educate. Doesn't mean it's an interesting class

If Bouldin gets included in this list, Mix and Thomas damn sure do as well...You couldn't have possibly gone any harder after Thomas than you tried to prior to his commitment.
This argument really doesn't even make sense... You didn't want #3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 in composite MS rankings, but you took #12, 15, 16, and 23?
Ultimately, you've got commitments right now from 3 total players that we recruited at all in this cycle - Bouldin, Buchanan, and Dodson.

I'm assuming that OM pulls the offer to the kid from Grenada. Im still shocked Freeze gave him an offer to begin with.

You sure he doesn't have a fr/soph brother that's a badass?

We have never seen Thomas. Didnt come to our camps. Mix looked like shite at our camps. It doesn't matter what they were ranked. And bullshite on Bouldin. Y'all went after him hard. He spoke about how hard y'all went after him once he committed to us. I have no idea where you get your information about us going after Jake, but aside from trying to get him to visit us, we didnt go after him hard. Once again for the 100th time I'm sure we would have taken committments from those players. Just like you would have taken a commitment from Davion Johnson. Did we "beat you out" for him just because we both offered him? No. We had the inside edge and got him to commit and shut down his recruitment. Same thing happened with Jake and to an extent Chris Jones.
Bouldin went to your camps and opened his recruitment to y'all. We beat you for him. Same with Ryan. If Z, Kailo and Shumpert commit to y'all then y'all beat us out for them because they all opened their recruitment to both schools and both schools want them all badly

I've never seen him play but unlike you I don't see 2 star and roll my eyes. Just like Dereck Jones and Bobby Hill, kid showed out at camp and earned an offer. Just like some of your early commits. I do think if there is anyone we let go for a spot it would be him but I don't know if Freeze will do that.

So Engie, why didn't or hasnt OM ever tried to recruit Chris Jones? Serious question.
Do you honestly don't believe he was worth recruiting more than yall did?

Is this suppose to be a mock at OM? We signed Denzel who is a freshman AA, yet we only did that because of Robert? Yeah we usually pass on AA's. At least Denzel has talent. Y'all tried the same shite with Nick, except he sucked. As far as Christian Morgan and his sister, you offered her before we did. Stupid hypocrites

Who y'all would take in a heart beat and you know we have Conner as well. Out of your commits, who would we take with our last slots that we have offered? Kailo and that's it. And that's all we have lost to y'all H2H until Shumpert and Z.

I don't think you should ever accuse Bundy of saying what's convenient anymore.

Conner is the only take of the 3 at this point for us. Dodson was always a backup plan to Kailo/Shumpert. One that I honestly disagreed with(Kailo anyway).
This is so ridiculous. You wouldn't take Cox? He opened his recruitment to you too. Visited several times. You can't say "oh we didn't bother recruiting them very hard" just because they commit to us and/or started leaning heavily to us. That is pretty Yancy of you, as is your entire point of view in this thread.

Pretty Ole Miss of you to flip your shite when I wasn't implying anything remotely like that, and frick you for trying to stereotype my opinion into some simpleminded bullshite. Your insecurity about it just became glaringly obvious though.
I think it's smart how as an institution you've gone after families to get the blue chips, not just other athletes, but mothers and others in positions of influence. I've said that many times. I've even taken up for you when "all the teammates" accusation comes up on Nkemdiche. But you know that already. Unlike some, I'm not insecure about saying that I think you've done a much better job of this overall than we have.
Except who sucked? Heard it all about Taveze Calhoun and Market - both freshmen - who were excellent for us in limited snaps and in special teams play.
"Stupid hypocrite" my arse.
