What do they have that makes these 4 star players commit so early to a team who was god awful last year? I'm not worried because I realize it's very early and they only have 1 instate 4 star as of now and I believe Mullen and crew will get the job done, but what do those kids see in that program? Opinions?

Freeze is putting the full court press on these kids this early in the game, because he wants commitments before the season(for obvious reasons).

IMO their recruiting is fools gold until they start stockpiling talent in the trenches...

maintain discipline then he will have success. If is"Fools Gold" to think Ole Miss is going to stay down forever. We just need to keep elevating our program and worry less<div>about them, it is truly liberating.</div>

that by the time the ink's dry, we'll end up with a solid class that is at least comparable to Ole Miss's. I'd love to get out to a faster start one of these years but until we sign a bust of a class, I trust Mullen's 3-star guys that have proven to be coachable. At this point, he hasn't missed on much

Since it re-used my quote, I assume that was directed toward me. I've never said, nor implied that.

They've brought in good skill talent. Got a roster full of it outside of RB. Heard a Freeze interview on the radio where he LITERALLY said they had 2 SEC-quality o-linemen and they're hoping they can get a few more guys to be serviceable. Said they are most likely 2 signing classes away in the trenches. I tend to agree with him on that...

guys with his approach. He tells them how hard it is going to be to make it and what it takes to be a success. Prima donna's don't want to hear this ****. I don't know Freeze's approach<div>but I would imagine there is a lot more cheer leading and soul saving going on that with Mullen's approach. Mullen's approach works, keep on keeping on, hunchback.</div>

When we are coming off another win in oxford and winning a third straight bowl game. In addition to, returning to a newly completely $20 million football only facility and $80 million under-construction stadium expansion, while freeze is headed back to the drawing board after another season in the gutter for the bears. He can only sell a wagon full of **** to a man in a blindfold for so long, until wind shifts back.

Do you think we are making this up? That MSU officials are just pretending that we are going to expand our football stadium?<div>
</div><div>I guess the Mississippi College Board is in on it, too. As are the buyers of the $82million in bonds.
