Dickens just committed to OM. We are taking a beating. Its like we aren't even trying to recruit. We lost a bunch of games to end last year, and our staff has done NOTHING to stop the bleeding. I realize there is a long way till signing day, but goodness, if you can't turn this around, then please let us now.

At some point, things have to start trending in the right direction.

I'm wondering the same thing.

And I don care that it's early, we are getting our teeth kicked in, in OUR state. We have a new facility and stadium expansion underway to give us a marketing boost. I don't have a good feeling about things at the moment.

We have fans that fall for it every time

Interesting that this announcement came out right after we won our baseball game.**

Good job taking the bait.

One day after getting a commitment from one of the top players in the 2016 class, and we have people wondering about our recruiting. In the meantime, Dan will also assemble yet again another top 20 class when it's all said and done for 2014.

The SEC won't let us cheat in football

not sure about basketball and baseball. But yeah, being on probation isn't advantageous for our crootin'

Freeze and company telling these recruits we got hammered by NCAA. As time goes by and recruits realize we didnt get the death penalty, our recruiting will gain some steam

Let me fill you in on the saddest part of this scenario...

The saddest part of this scenario is you are (I assume) a grown man keeping up with college football recruiting in June.

I feel pretty good about Ole Miss' chances with Taylor, Pack, and Speaks. Don't know much about 12-14. I feel better about Green after this weekend but you still lead.

I'm not worried yet, but

we have to get guys like Jesse Jackson, Gerri Green, Aeris Williams on board soon so we don't look like a joke. FSU is making a good push for Williams, we can't lose him.

Although, Dickens is a solid player and we should still pursue him, we still have a lot of LBs on our board that we need/want. Curtis Akins from Byhalia is said to be a very raw beast of a LB that we're in good with (has some attitude issues, nothing that can't be solved, but let's be honest, we could use a bad-boy on our team of nice guys).

I agree to an extent, Todd, but unfortunately a top 20 class puts you at 10th in the SEC.

Just wondering, do you know for a fact that Freeze is saying this, or do you just assume this? I'm not saying he isn't, but I just love when folks "know" what the opposing coaches say/do.

Brewster really is capitalizing on his time in MS. Wonder what he is telling...

recruits about your program. I hope your staff is telling recruits what a lying bastard he is. How good is Dickens? He doesn't have many offers, but we need lb's this class.

No I don't. I'm probably foolish to assume he's said anything about our probation. A good, Christian man like freeze wouldn't do anything like that. Forgive me for slandering the 2nd coming of Jesus.

I'm sure he is.

But I'm pretty sure the kids can find out exactly how bad the probation is.

It's pretty easy.

Which is exactly my point. They will find out, but not as quickly as a miss state fan who reads message boards all day long.

Don't really give a damn..

about Bobby Hall's relationship with State. But what I do know is that during the Nutt years OB kids wouldn't/couldn't step foot in Oxford. That seems to have changed.

BTW...I didn't take you for a black helicopter guy. I'm sure Freeze was getting updates on your baseball game so he would know just the right moment to release the Dickens commitment. Nevermind OM had a camp going on and he was on campus. Hell, while we're at, I bet Freeze waited to see if State was going to make a Super before he even scheduled the camp.

Lastly..congrats on the win today and I hope you guys kick their asses again tomorrow.

things nowadays with twitter and all of that newfangled jazz. It's really crazy of me to think that Freeze could run a football camp or whoever actually tweeted the announcement and follow the baseball game with a phone. It just coincidentally popped up right as soon as the last pitch of our game was thrown- and it's not like Ole Miss has ever tried to show up State in the past in recruiting with hat announcements or anything like that in the past.

so we're getting all worked up over a kid that's not even in the top 15 instate? I don't know anything about the kid but historically it's rare for anybody outside the top 12 or so to do much and half our of top 12 at least usually flop.

it's just way too early to get worked up about anything. We all know the OM recruiting network kicks our *** and don't think the boys were fired up from last recruiting season. Let's just take care of business on the field and hope recruiting picks up.
