Recruting Freeze Out

[spinner4]

The best story IMO for this recruiting season was Ole Miss #39 ranking. In Freeze's other 4 classes, they never finished lower than 21 & he's had two top 10 finishes in there. Hugh stated that the class suffered due to penalties but yet no sanctions have been passed on to Ole Miss by the NCAA. Note the low ranking was not caused by low #'s. They signed 22 guys.

I guess the penalties good old Mr Freeze is referring to is having to recruit cleanly. So much easier to land top guys with a bag full of cash vs. with pamphlets, a handshake, & a smile. Interesting enough all 4 of their 4-stars committed in the eleventh hour. That almost seems like a red flag to me. As if some boosters went into panic mode and may have went back to their old ways at the end. Obviously, I don't know that for sure. It just appears that way.

Best thing Freeze said was that a lot of other coaches were using the allegations against Ole Miss as a tactic & that it was real ugly & he would never forget who those coaches were. Here's something for you Mr Freeze, don't F-ing cheat & you wont have that problem. Hugh is the modern day Ron Meyer and Ole Miss should get the death penalty.

Asking a coach not to cheat in the $EC is like asking Nebraska to undersign every year, and you see how that is going over right now. I mean, I don't feel ANY sympathy towards Hugh... Dudes a sleeze in the worse sense, but basically, if you ain't cheating in the $EC, you ain't trying.

I saw this too and it's great. What a frickin baby. Knows he's being watched so he can't recruit by cheating and he's obviously exposed by the results of this class.
The NCAA was just as red-in-the-face as Ole Miss was when these things started to come to light. NCAA doesn't want to get involved, especially with the beloved SEC.
Ole Miss will get slapped on the wrist and be back to their old ways in a few years, but it was nice to see them squirm this year and have to actually play by the rules. Freeze is my lease favorite coach in the NCAA. Their recruits literally flash pictures of themselves on twitter holding tons of cash after visits, and the NCAA tries to pretend it's all clean. What a joke.

Is the NCAA still evening investigating Ole Miss?

No Freeze provided some "alternative facts" and said they have been cleared.

I think my favorite Bo Pelini moment was when he basically came right out and said Ole Miss was cheating.
