Just a FYI but there are 3 4* OL on campus for Jr day right now. Not saying we pull 1 or 3 but you pull 0 when you can't get them to campus.

If we can get an in at Hewitt Trussville we should do it. They have been full of talent the last couple of years and will continue to be. Pierce Quick would be a huge get and even though I don’t expect to get him, it’s nothing but positives having a kid like that on campus. We need to continue having kids like that on campus.
so back to stuff other than baseball - how do we feel about how Jr. Day went?
I know that we like to act like they got slapped on the wrist (and they did from a scholarship standpoint), but between the cloud of the investigation, losing Freeze, diminished fan support/donations/attendance, the cost of defending themselves, the 2 year bowl ban and all of the less sexy sanctions, it was a huge blow to their football program. If they were to get caught again, inside the repeat violator window, it would be disastrous. I'm not saying they won't cut any corners, but they absolutely will tone it way down for the next few years.
I don't know if you are a Beverly Hillbilly, but the loss of 8M in bowl revenue and 2-3M in legal fees is a major hit to me! The unofficial visit restriction (if it can be enforced) is a major handicap as all other schools can offer unlimited visits. Time on campuses is an important recruiting tool.
They got hit, but there is nothing hindering them going forward other than maybe potential coaches being scared of recruiting under extra scrutiny that may or may not be present.
But Ole Miss is going to push forward with recruiting the way they always have instate. They will probably continue out of state too except when they are going head to head against a blue blood. So they may not be pulling recruits away from Bama or UGA, but they will make sure they are doing what it takes to get the recruits who are 26-35 on their boards, which if they have any coaching will be enough to ensure they stay relevant.
Montravius Richardson? That name sounds familiar. Is that somebody we were recruiting out of high school? Or does he just sound like the RB under Mullen that ended up transferring out?
Was Richardson rated low bc he was a longshot to qualify?
