re: Hugh Freeze's first class at Ole Miss ranked #47 on 247

The reasons I think we are recruiting well are:

1. Freeze is just a really good recruiter. Orgeron himself said he was the best recruiter they had. When he first became our coach I was not excited but went to see him speak a month later and fell in love with the guy. Just an extremely likable guy.

2. Bama, LSU, etc. Yeah, blame yourselves. You turned the SEC into the premiere brand within college football and we get to ride those coattails. You also laid the blueprint out for how to recruit at a high level.

3. Starting to act like a big boy football program. It is so different now than when I was there. The atmosphere is like being at big time college football.

4. Winning. Freeze has showed that he can back it up. If he won 6 games a season we would not be recruiting the way we are right now.

5. Television. Everyone is on television every game now. Family can see you play. NFL scouts can see you play. This one is huge and will continue to change the face of college football.

6. I have flooded the recruiting circuit with cash, hooker, and blow. There, beat you to it.
