What we are getting now is what I’m used to

Clemson is allowed to win championships. Ole Miss is not. (See 6 year investigation for couch crashing.)

Clemson promoted a little known WR coach to HC.
And then all hell broke loose.

I don’t think you can compare Ole Miss to Clemson when the ACC as a whole doesn’t recruit on the level the SEC does (particularly the Atlantic division, which is a laugh factory compared to the SEC West, outside of Clemson, F$U, and sometimes Notre Dame or Louisville). Also, last I checked, Dabo is one of the best coaches in the country, certainly better than anyone we’ve had since Vaught, and Clemson also isn’t still in the process of appealing a verdict the NCAA took over five full years to reach. Otherwise, yeah, sure, why can’t we be Clemson? Why not just be Alabama if we’re gonna reach for the stars though?
I’m not happy that we’re not going to be getting the #1 OL in the country from out of state or the #1 WR in the country, also from out of state, in this the 2018-2019 recruiting cycle, but at the same time I’m a realist about it. We got sent to football jail less than a year ago, and we’re still in the process of trying to litigate our way out of it. That fact alone is going to affect the caliber of player we’re likely to receive, and we’re paying hefty legal fees at the expense of other areas in the athletic program.
I can be happy that we’re not recruiting any worse than we did before Freeze arrived and told the rest of the country to frick off before absconding with a bunch of blue chips to Oxford. Unless we hired someone like Chip Kelly or Jimbo Fisher, neither of whom were ever going to coach in Oxford (for the Rebels that is), we weren’t going to be getting 5*s this cycle unless one of the in-state 4*s got upgraded and was already an Ole Miss lean. It’s not like the other guys who could’ve been our coach, Chad Morris or Jeremy Pruitt, are lighting it up on the crootin’ trail either, and they don’t even have the excuse of being on probation.
I’m not saying we should be ok with mediocrity, but I also don’t have some grandiose opinion of my alma mater that ignores the fact that Ole Miss is still in the process of getting fricked over for doing the same sort of shite every other school does but was too fricking stupid not to get caught

A lot of that though is because a significant portion of our fan base is more concerned about the fashion show in The Grove. Reality bro. I was thrilled when we got Hugh and was tired of the whole mentality that it’s our destiny to be a bottom feeder in the SEC. Once he got players to buy in, Senquez, Hilton, Bryant, Core, Prewitt, and I could go on, things changed. Hopefully Mr. Luke can keep that going.
