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.

It went better than planned.
And that?s not just ?coach speak? from what I was told.
I’m really looking forward to laying my eyes on the big board for 2019..

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 disagree with everything except for the repeat violator part. I don't think they slow down at all. Hopefully they get hit harder on the repeat status

They won’t pull back , but that place got exposed. It’s not the place they protray it to be and more and more kids. parents and coaches are seeing that.
And losing Freeze was a huge blow. No matter what anyone says Matt Luke isn’t a SEC calibure head guy.

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.

Look at their last two classes. Even this year they tried to do what they do at the end and they pretty much whiffed and finished below Dan Mullen.
At that was with a super recruit 4 star QB inflating their rating a lot.

I am too. They have me thinking that our recruiting ceiling may be way higher than I realized.

Don’t they get that money at the end of their suspension though?

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?

That's why I said only 8M. They get 2 years @ 8M/year (if they lose the appeal) or 16M, at the end of probation they get 50% back, but they lose the other 50%. At least that's how it used to work.
