blacklistedbully said:I agree with everything you said, especially about having faith in Mullen. That said, I am concerned about possible cheating at Ole Miss presenting a less-than-even playing field. As much as I wanted Singleton, it didn't worry or anger me that he decided to go to OM. He looked at our depth chart & got intimidated. He feels he'll get on the field sooner at OM, and he is probably right, especially since he is apparently worried about competition.<div>
</div><div>But CJ turning over along with all the others over the dead period makes me feel more certain than ever that Ole Miss is dirty. And if they are dirty, they can damage our recruiting enough to possibly hold us back or at least delay us getting to the level of an LSU or Alabama. I don't think Ole Miss is ever going to be elite under Nutt. I think we have a chance with Mullen, but we may not go beyond very, very good if Dan is up against a stacked deck in recruiting in-state.</div><div>
</div><div>So, I'm not pissed at kids changing their minds, but I am very concerned about possible big-time cheating at Ole Miss, as that would not bode well for our long-term goals of winning an SECCG and even contending for a NC. There is enough talent in Mississippi to get elite, but not if Ole Miss is consistently gonna rake in a majority of the top recruits, regardless of their on-field performance.</div>
If you believe otherwise, trying to explain this to you or anyone that believes there is clean recruiting going on is like trying to explain why Santa is not leaving you presents under the tree anymore.
It goes on everywhere with every university. Sure, there are different levels of cheating that takes place and I would imagine with Nutt looking down the barrel of being fired without a good year, he has probably upped their game.
It happens but I will say this again, if you don't have some type of proof, real proof that they are cheating, then you sound like a crying little kid that does not know how to be a good sport about things. Just because you lose or we get our *** kicked at recruiting this year does not mean that we can just say "they are cheating because they won." I mean, you can say that but you look like a whining little girl.
If we lose the recruiting battle this year, just have faith that Mullen will know that, plan accordingly, and that next year will be different but let's not start crying "they are cheaters" when we don't know what is going on in our on backyard, and we don't have any evidence more than"it just doesn't make sense" that person that was in love with us all summer decided to break up with you and start 17ing your ugly ***, meth headed cousin.
