They are convinced that they are a "big player" and a subpar recruiting class will seriously motivate them.

And how much credit does Nutt get for recruiting Nkemdiche's little brother? Freeze thus far has missed out on Richie Brown, AJ Jefferson, Quay, Nick James his first year and then during their greatest recruiting class ever missed out on Chris Jones, which may have been the most damaging risk since the NCAA ultimately interviewed Jones about the great recruiting party. Last year, he also missed out on Ashton Shumpert, which given their lack of an inside power runner was a big miss- and then we'll find out what happens in a few weeks, but I like what our class looks like. And all of those are battles he lost to Dan. I'm not including the ones he lost to Auburn, LSU, and Clemson last year.

No...I'm talking about Racean Thomas. I'm not saying they are gonna flip him, just that they think they have a chance to.

Their recruiting is really fizzling out coming down the stretch this year.

The only two guys they have coming in for the big visit weekend that aren't already committed are both committed to LSU and taking the BR visit this weekend, so they may not even show next weekend.

At least we still have the hope of somebody like Marlon Humphrey.

ETA: I've changed my tune on Devaroe Lawrence as well after reading what some Auburn fans had to say about him. I didn't really get it at first, but apparently he grew up in foster care and never thought about playing college football but went to a tryout at Georgia Military one day, made the team and has been an absolute monster in the weight room and has developed a ton. Their fans seem to really want him, and he looks like a really quality kid who could contribute quite a bit. He may have more than 2 years left, too.

Oh, well then gigantic LOL. Not at you, at them if they actually believe that. I haven't seen anyone even mention them for a second in connection with Roc Thomas, though I did read something about Yancy throwing something around about him 'reaching out' to Ole Miss due to Elston, which is hilarious.

Regardless, I hope some of their fans actually believe that. Will only make signing day that much better.

Their class this year is quite the cold shower after last year and after they thought they'd do something similar again since Freeze is evidently the greatest recruiter in the history of football.

They'll learn soon enough that he may be an above-average recruiter but that he'll never do anything better than a class like this year's again unless they have a lot more success on the field, and I don't think he's the kind of coach who can really do much more on the field than they did this year.
