There was an all out bidding war between Ole Miss and MSU for Chris Jones.


No, there wasn't. This would imply that Ole Miss lost a bidding war, and Ole Miss doesn't lose bidding wars. (See: Laremy Tunsil)

I know Chris personally. We are from the same, very small town and went to the same school. There was no "bid war." He committed early to State and he gave serious late consideration to ole miss. It was very close, ultimately his highschool coaches all MSU fans issued serious ultimatums and had a maybe controversial influence. This is no new phenomena though. Same thing happened with CJ Johnson coming out of south pianola whos head coach is in the tank for ole miss. High school coaches do matter.

I haven't read through this entire thread but it seems people actually think that the sip schools out cheated the big boys and that's why we are here. First off go look at any of MSU commits ever and tell me where one looks fishy. Then go look at our big bad cheating 2013 class and give me a kid that only came to OM because we paid him more money than the big schools.

We beat that recruiting power Okie state for Megaquon. Ohhhh how did we ever pull that one off.

We had the #1 player in the country's brother.

The #2 safety in the country lived 20 miles away

We were always in Laremy's top 5 throughout his recruitment but noone listened to him. Out of the top 5 we were the only ones to give his brother a full ride.

We got the top JC player in the country because he's from MS, we placed him in JC two years before, and one class wouldn't transfer to Auburn. If it did, he'd be there and said as much.

It only take a little time to figure out how 2013 happened but people hate facts and love lazy journalism
