IMO, Freeze and his staff created a very different environment in their football program. Although they like to win, but they stressed that the program is like a family. As posted numerous times on facebook, Freeze pre-game speech to his players was to win for the love of the team... not because of the hatred for the opponent.
That culture and philosophy of caring more for the individual than the wins and losses attract players.
According to reports, Patterson committed to Ole Miss not because Ole Miss won a game that he attended, but a after a devastating loss. It was the Auburn game, #3 Ole Miss loss after Treadwell horrifically broke his leg. Patterson said that he expected that all the coaches and fans would be disappointed or outraged about the loss, but what he all he saw from the coaching staff was concern about Treadwell. Believe it or not, Patterson claimed that was one of his main reasons he committed to Ole Miss. (I know that his brother is on the staff.)

For fricks sake....it's very obvious Ole Miss is dirty as it gets on the recruiting trail.
Come on. Just embrace it.

Freeze has done a great job in recruiting, regardless of the method & his offensive philosophy works as well. However, to think that the family like atmosphere is his creation, that his program is the only one like that is silly. Coach Miles has been having the coaches' families, kids and all, come to the practice field on Halloween for well over 9 yrs now. He springs for the candy used in the trick or treating out of his own pocket. An the spring, he's allowed coaches to allow their kids the run of the practice facility 2-3 times a spring. But with regards to Patterson's reason for going to O.Miss? Really? Go talk to anyone up at Ariz. State...or UA, forget which....where he came from & ask their opinions of his father, brother, his own actions. Same "problems" at LSU. His brother was actually kicked out of an LSU facility. And yet, he's having no "problems" at O.Miss? One does wonder.
