re: Serious question for you Ole Miss fans concerning your recruiting...

I'll go a little further.

I'll just use Scout rankings because I dont want to use every ranking out there.

2009 Ole Miss had the #17 recruiting class
2010 Ole Miss had the #15 recruiting class
2011 Ole Miss had the #20 recruiting class
2012 Ole Miss had the #58 recruiting class-Hugh Freeze was hired in December.The class only had 18 prospects. In one month he was able to hold on to 5* Channing Ward, UA All American Trae Elston and Issac Gross. This is coming off a 2-10 year and what was possibly the worst year in program history.

So its not like Ole Miss wasnt getting top 20 talent. Adding a couple more 5* guys with ties can get you to that top 10 level.

Laquon Treadwell best friend Anthony Standifer is a true freshmen.
RN brother was a freshmen all american
Tony Conner is from SP, a traditional Ole Miss stronghold.
Lavon Hooks was at a MS JUCO school
Christian Morgan sister is being recruited by Ole Miss for volleyball
Kailo Moore was committed to Ole Miss before MSU

After you get LT and RN on board its not hard to get other guys on board.
