So wait, which one is it? Are we used to getting blue chippers or are we used to WAOM?
And getting the death penalty would be dumb. I’m not sure any school ever actually stops cheating, even schools like Bama that ostensibly don’t have to pay kids to get to campus (but I’m sure they get paid plenty once they’re there), so I’m not worried about the “efforts” there so to say, but I’ll be mad if we’re as sloppy as we were the first go ‘round.
A lot of these in-state kids won’t end up in the class unless we frick up elsewhere, but we’re gonna frick up somewhere, probably at RB or LB because it’s always RB & LB, and some will be in the class. There’s 8-10 months between now and the two signing periods, and so, so much will change between now and then. Who knows, some of these in-state diamonds we’ve been mining lately might grow into 4*s or something, but I’m not gonna read anything into the current #1 ranking, which is a paper tiger if I’ve ever seen one, but I’m also not going to sit here and bitch and moan less than a week after getting yet another 4* QB and the #2 in-state guy who had previously been committed to Moo U. Granted, if history has taught us anything, Black is just a sleeper cell who will end up in Starkville once the check clears/they get him qualified (assuming he’s even a grade risk, as that’s always the go-to excuse from the fanbase of a jilted school)

Soooo.... one kid doesnt make a class.

Our top two recruits probably won't even make it to campus even if they stay committed

Yeah, but you specifically cited in-state talent, where Ole Miss already has commitments from 2 of the top 5. The only 5*, Nakobe Dean, will almost certainly go to Bama, so what would you have our staff do differently to get the high-ranked Sip boys?
ETA: Ealy is almost certainly playing baseball, and Black may or may not be JUCO bound. It is what it is

As far as recruiting is going, I think the staff is doing a great job. They are stirring up some excitement for the MississippiMade campaign and hopefully they will be able to finish up with 10 or so 4 and/or 5 star players at the end.
There are some potential gets out there for the Rebels. There will be 3 possible wr spots open after this season.
The left tackle position should be available and there's always room for some quality linebackers to walk in and get massive playing time as a freshman.
Most of the higher rated kids aren't going to commit this early anyway. Even Ole Miss' best recruiting classes have had about 50% of the recruits come in as being rated 3 star athletes. So, it appears the staff is on target. Some of those 3 star guys could pick up a star over the summer and come in as 4 star commits.
I've been a Rebel since I was 11 and a proud alum for 30 years. A top 10 class nationally is not the norm for Ole Miss. A top 10 class in the SEC is the norm. If the finish in the top 7 in the SEC that would be quite an accomplishment considering every thing that has transpired over the last 5 years. With all the negativity that has occurred, for this staff to be doing this well is pretty impressive.
I would take 90 wins over the next 10 years. There's nothing wrong with that if you are Ole Miss and playing in the SEC.
It would be nice to get a Cam Newton or a Deshuan Watson and maybe win a SEC championship and a NC title.
We've been close, but not quite their yet.

Has he thought about being a two sport athlete at OM?
Do you know what round he is expected to go in the MLB draft?

From everything I’ve heard Jerrion Ealy looks like a first round pick. I’d love to see him make it to campus but he’d be insane to not sign if he’s offered a couple of million dollars guaranteed.

Yea, I'd sign with an MLB team if I was a projected first rounder, but damn this kid is great football player.

I liked the video of Bryce Ramsey, the OL, taking down his opponent.

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

No, he is not. He's a great recruiter who gets to spend a lot of money on assistants and players.

I agree with your statement. For now, maybe I shouldn’t say expect, but we’re not going to get those #1 recruits. And we all know other teams are using our on going deal with the NCAA against us. I honestly thought we would be very down recruiting right now, but at least we’re staying about the same until we get a better coach in place. I honestly believe Luke is just a stop gap. We’re saving money with him so we can get a better coach in a year or so. I like Luke as a person, but not as a coach. How many times were threads started just for him, to be fired as O-line coach? I’m glad he loves Ole Miss, but that’s not a reason to promote. We pulled an Ed O. We will probably finish in the top 20 which isn’t terrible considering the position we’re in. And maybe even better if some of our commits get a bump this year. We need to have a decent season also.
I think we will be fine if we can piece together a good class, decent season, and honestly look at other coaches. I know some will criticize my thinking of Luke, since he was just given the full time job, but we need to look beyond the GOB system if we want to be competitive.
We have the money to bring in someone, but at the same time we need to be picky about it and not jump on just some “name”.
