When reached for comment Hugh Freeze replied curtly, "He's an amateur."

The UMiss 30 for 30 is going to be great....

Would you rather have a coach like this or an Xs and Os savant?

I think the Xs and Os guys think too highly of themselves to stoop to this level, but is this what it take in college sports?

Every non traditional powerhouse that has competed for a national title, other than Oregon, has done it through recruiting and even Oregon recruited well.

Miami and Colorado are the first two to come to mind that did it through recruiting and not Xs and Os.

I've heard several respected football people say Bob Davie is the best X and O guy in the business so.....

I'd like to have at least one in football.

Basketball we have a good chance at both.

Baseball we can definitely recruit although the rules limit us compared to lotto states. Wes Johnson may be the X's and O's savant we need.

Football is 0-2 on the options.

I'd like the coordinators to be X's and O's guys and the rest be elite recruiters. If I had to have one or the other- give me a recruiter.

Yet some of our fans think 40K is a lot for a top recruit

DA's will be DA's

I am left cold with that story. Freezing would be more appropriate.

In the 70s, I knew a player who was one of the top Basketball recruits in the nation who also went on to an NBA career. He said that, "Players don't sign with a school because of money, the school you really want to go to will match whatever someone else is offering."

Just life.

If you redacted the sport, names, universities and dates from this article, one would think it was a current SEC West football coach coming out with these admissions.
