    OM is also going to get a bowl ban and serious probation for their actions either this year or next.

    There is no easy answer. They all cheat- but OM tried to jump to the front of the line from the back. That shit doesn't fly. Coming in at the last minute and stealing commits from the big boys will get you hammered. Getting Momma to send in a forged LOI cause she wants more envelopes will get you hammered.

    We we can do some things to recruit better- but stealing out of state top 3 at their position players isn't it

    Exactly, and that's why I've said that UNM is a watershed case in that if you can do what they've done and either get by with it or just get a slap on the wrist then I seriously do not know what motivation there is for any school to even put on the appearance of trying to follow the rules. In that case it would be much more fair just to eliminate all the recruiting rules.

    It is a watershed case, but them going on probation won't instantly make us better at recruiting. It will only reallocate the players that want hand out from Ole Miss to Auburn & Tennessee. They will benefit more than us.

    Never said it would help our recruiting but it might serve to put up a speed bump or two to slow down some of the programs that do rely heavily on cheating to get recruits. An "Auburn" or "Tennessee" type might be a little more cautious if it appears the NCAA actually has some teeth again and there is no Mike Slive to cover for them.

    Why aren't we competing for better talent?
    Because they would nail our ass against the wall..........

    It will also give us an extra win against them most years and reallocate at least a few of the Octavious Cooleys, AJ Brown's, Benito's, Javon Patterson's, Willie Hibbler's, Roderick Taylor's, CJ Hampton's, Breeland Speaks, Antonio Conner's etc. our way. Some of those kids might still have their hands out but some will simpy want to stay in state with us being the more viable alternative.

    It's a ****ing 4* RB. Who gives a shit the guy is going to suck ass anyways. A 4* RB is like a 2* QB. He's never gonna do shit! Y'all gonna cry when the next 2* QB transfers to Old Misses next?

    Barring a show cause for the head coach, they are about to hit a speed pump that will make the mediocre for a couple years and then they will be right back to competing for the SEC West.
    Really? You want the NCAA camped out in Starkville do you?

    I guess compared to all those 5 star RB's we get every year he does suck.

    Well, I sort of get his point given we have 3 4* RBs ourselves (Shumpert, AWilliams and Gibson). 4* RBs do seem to sort of be a dime a dozen.

    Aeris has the potential to be good and Nick Gibson would be our best back if coach would actually play his ass. I guess we can just expect Kylin Hill to suck too huh
