re: Ole Miss case could get bigger

See, that thinking is so narrow minded, it cracks me up. In 2013, we signed the #1 overall recruit, #1 OL recruit, #1 WR recruit, and #1-2 safety recruit. One from Florida, one from Georgia, and one from Illinois. Let me guess, that logic of "match facilities, history, blah blah instead of paying" doesn't work in this instance but every other one, especially Dupre, right?

ok, so every single recruit's decision ends up being purely financial. got it. for a school like ole miss to convince a kid not to go to a school that actually has a good program, they have to pay the kid that much more. my point was, it's a balancing game. a school like alabama sells itself. they do opay kids something, sure, but it doesn't take a lot of convincing that it will benefit him more in the end by going to alabama than accepting a moderately bigger handout from a bottom dweller like ole miss. for ole miss to land 5 5 stars in one class in Freeze's first year, that takes a special kind of cheating

When did I say that? All I said is that they are getting paid, which you agreed with. I'm aware of the price range.

you insinuated dupre was lost by ole miss due to a bidding war. let it go bro, he's from louisiana, and ole miss was never a finalist for the kid.

i'm not sure why you're even arguing with me. you're basically agreeing with the original point i made about ole miss fans always pointing the "we got outbid" finger every time a big time program lands a recruit you wanted.

LSU, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida (and USC, Florida State, Notre Dame, Texas etc.) routinely sign top-30 players in the country. Every year they sign one, usually multiple.

Since 2005, there is exactly one time Ole Miss has signed a top-30 player, 2013, when they signed three, all of whom from out of state. Naturally, this is going to be seen as suspicious
