What the UM coaches are telling our recruits

The Ole Miss coaches are telling our recruits that "assistants are jumping ship because MSU is going on probation." They also give them a line about how they are telling them this because they care about their future even if they do not choose Ole Miss.

This comes directly from the parent of a recruit.

I have no doubt that this is being told to recruits.

I also have no doubt that 17-18 year olds believe that crap and defy logic. Have you talked to a run of the mill teenager lately? Most of them make your stomach churn.

If someone really believes that an assistant taking a Division I head coaching job and another taking the same job at a top 3 program with the largest athletic budget in the country is "jumping ship" then I don't know what to think.

If auburn isn't going on probation, no one is. Do these parents not have a brain?

So what would that have to do with anything?

They can still call. They can still email. Recruits can call the coaches unlimited times. Follow along.

have lost two of our best recruiters and are in a weakened position at the moment and the Rebs are pulling out all the stops. It is going to be tough to overcome all this as it would be for any program but hopefully we can. We will see, it could be another year of the Reb's hoisting the recruiting trophy and the Dawgs hoisting the Egg Bowl and NYD Bowl trophy, it is certainly shaping up that way.

Right.

And most lekely we do say these things. If we aren't putting doubts in their heads, I want them fired.

However, people here act like the things your staff says about us to recruits is all on the up and up.

you really think Ole Miss coaches are not calling them? Hell Nutt is desperate. There is a reason why Terrorist use pre paid cell phones. Buy them, use them once and throw them away. I don't think any college coach is above that.

So our staff is breaking rules and your staff is clean?

This post says a lot about how your mind works.

this season w/ crappy '07 and '08 classes and that was our biggest problem. If we sign a good class this year (which appears likely regardless of where singleton, brassel and whitehead go), that will be three good to very good classes in a row and that's how you win in the sec.

Your user name confuses me because one one of my dad's old cowbells - he had a sticker that said Rebel Rouser. I think you are a State fan every time I read your post.

You lost four guys that were 4 or 5 stars from that class.

And last year's class ranking was inflated b/c of the 5 stars Dorsey got and he sucks. then you have thd 4 stars from Delvin Jones and who knows whether that guy can even stay at ole miss.

As far as your staff busting their tale, all they can do is make 1 call a week. They must really have a sexy phone voice.

I'm just saying that we had two coaches take better jobs. I expect rivals to say that coaches are jumping ship. But my point is that if a recruit and his family believe that an assistant taking a Division I head coaching job and another taking a pay raise for the same job at the freaking University of Texas is "jumping ship," then they aren't too bright.

This gets into a little amateur sociology, but kids today are stupid. The ones that aren't completely stupid are enabled beyond belief. I spent more time with teenage relatives over the holidays than I wanted to, and I observed that they are stupid. I'm not talking about stupid as in cannot carry on an intelligent conversation about the price of tea in China. They can't find China on a map. The crazy thing is, I have two family members. One in seventh grade, one in eighth. Both straight A students. Neither one of them could give you back change if you gave them a $20 bill for a $7.67 bill.

And you know what? This is eventually going to creep into college campuses and make our degrees worth less. I have two family members that are a year away from being college graduates that I would not hire to mow my lawn.

And hell, I'm only in my early 30s. What has happened in the past 10 years?

But back to recruiting tactics, I hope like hell we're going in there and telling recruits that Houston Nutt makes freshmen dress in women's underwear while he takes pictures and says Giggity.

You will be surprised what an 18 year old kid will believe. Their brains are like a sponge. I remember telling kids how we were getting a pool in the back and how the "other" frat they were rushing was about to be put on probation. Childish ****!

...It's amazing the same school that greased, pimped, snuck & lied Jeremiah Masoli into a Rebel Bear football uniform has the balls to play the "They're cheating!" card.


If that's the case, Mullen needs to recruit him some MSU graduate students to go over the J. Masoli saga with a fine tooth comb & discover all the malfeasance Ole Miss committed to get Masoli to Oxford.


Then the findings need to be submitted to the Ole Miss, the SEC & the NCAA.

The perception by someis that Mullen really wanted the Miami job but turned them off and did not get an offer. I would like to know what really went down there. You know that they are saying that even Mullen is dying to get out of Starkville but nobody will hire him.

It's the spirit of the rule that he broke...but the spirit of the rule isn't in writing.

Cheating is actually breaking black and white rules. Playing in the gray areas and exploiting loopholes is not cheating.

..to a T.


Nobody has really researched in depth all the crap Ole Miss pulled to get this thug, Masoli, eligible.


If you hypocrites insist in playing the "They cheat!" card, I would suggest an in-depth inquiry into the Masoli saga take place. That will shut some Rebel mouths quickly.
