This recruiting class will make us much like Ole Miss

Without the criminal assistant coaches....well without most of the criminal assistants.

There it is...

Freeze is a pretty good guy. I think he was "the guy" for Ole Miss just like Butch is for us.

Being "the guy" for Ole Miss isn't as high a standard.

Getting good players to come to UT for the rebuilding of a storied program? Relatively easy when you think about it. Playing time early on, which gives you the chance to grow more as a player and be ready for the pros later on in your collegiate career. Amazing facilities, being able to play in front of 100,000+ every home game. School located in a nice part of the country.

Getting the best DE, WR, DT, and Offensive lineman to come to Ole Miss in the same recruiting class? No, that isn't suspicious at all. *cough cough*

Its just a matter of time until the infraction committee comes down on Ole Miss like a sledgehammer.

It was glorious times, but spoiled a lot of us. I remember days of being pissed off by not being preseason ranked in the top ten and looking at schedules thinking if we get by Florida, we have a real shot at going undefeated.

I'm almost 23 and those years are still fresh. I remember feeling devastated after a Florida loss, knowing it probably took us out of the championship hunt.

You can compare Ole Miss to us if you like but never compare us to Ole Miss.

In that we will have grea young talent that will rise to the occasion and play lights out some games and then get smoked in others, I look for is to be a major upset worthy team next season because of our talents unpredictability due to age.

We've recruited MUCH better than Ole Pi$$ over the course of the past 5yrs or so (last year being...$$$... the lone exception), and have about 80% of our starters being 4* recruits.

In fact, we've out-recruited USCjr overall, during that same span of time. Difference is, we've had a lot coaching turnover and bad hires. Another key point to remember is this....Kiffin had no real resume to get recruits excited. He had to rely on his daddy's name, a slick sales pitch and good recruiters among the staff.

Dooley also had nothing in his resume/past to sell recruits on. He had to rely on the University to sell itself, and new stadium/facility upgrades.

Butch, on the other hand, has an impressive resume that recruits and players alike can buy into. And he has a great product/program to sell to go along with it.

Ole Miss has always been somewhat of a bottom feeder and dead end coaching stop. Freeze realized that and went for broke, literally......by passing out the bill$ to sell recruits. We all know it.

Trying to deny it is like the bald, fat, aging guy trying to say he got the hot babe with his looks and charisma. :loco: Yeah, right....

Then you also remember looking at Florida's schedule and trying to pick two losses for them after they beat us. Back then you could actually say that it wasn't over until it was over.

Ole Miss runs more of a gimmick offense. The difference is they have more/better talent.
