re: What's Hugh Freeze telling kids to get them at Ole Miss?

What Billy mays said. Emphasis on drunk white women

Ole Myth is cheating no doubt....

Real answer, Freeze learned a lot from Coach O recruiting wise. And puts more emphasis on recruiting than anything else.

you pulled the top player out of 4 states out of the blue in 2013 after finishing 47th the year before...

Then for the next two years you finish outside the top 15 with 0 five stars and 13 four stars combined between those classes.
Freeze is not this great recruiter stacking classes at a recruiting powerhouse.

Now the 13 class you purchased is moving on to the NFL and you are opening up the checkbook again to stay relevant. Simple as that

I'm sure he gives the family/educational pitch to the players and families. Then they make their visits and get shown the "other" part of it by their hosts. Three years later, they jump out a window. Rinse and repeat.

The new meters only covered Shea

In fairness, those other 9 don't have Rowan Oak or a Confederate cemetery. I hear those are a big draw for recruits.

For the love of God, let the Nkemdiche thing go. His brother was on our squad. Shouts to Houston nutt

People overrate just straight up giving money to kids. Anyone can do that, and it doesn't ensure a long term commitment.

Serious programs go much further than that. Boosters will give family members cush jobs contingent on the player signing for example. That is much harder to track, and gives a more direct control over the outcome.

I don't know about Ole Miss today, but back during the Nutt era we got a signature from a player they were targeting and it upset the player's mom so much she faxed in a forged LOI:

She publicly claimed she was "trying to what's best for him" but the word on the street was an Ole Miss booster had promised her a job contingent on her son's signature and we screwed that up.

Point is people who just think "the secret" is handfuls of money to the recruit are pretty naive themselves.

I'm glad you brought up Floyd raven. That was his signature on that paper the whole mom story was fabricated to absolve him because he knew he didn't want to be here because your boosters took care of them. The bottom line was he didn't want to be in Oxford. It's about to happen again you're going to flip one of our commits that's been committed forever and yet I don't see any Rebels bitching about A&M boosters.
