Snoop signed (for the 2nd time) in 2013.

Not to be the beacon of reasonable bickering, but if we start adding up guys who sucked or left from MSU's pool of highly touted lot it would stack up pretty nicely.

I'd still kill to have a top 10 class. The thing that's puzzling to me is why a bonafide starter would want to transfer. That's fishy, I don't care which way you spin it.

I think we had 3 from that class.
Sandberg
Gray ( who we get back in 2015)
Chappell

Not too bad..

I really hope this is the case. The Kim brothers, tunsil, Taylor, treadwell, etc will follow his lead. Keep OM boosters tapped with our recruiting class shaping up to be special

I haven't seen it mentioned, but I've seen on nafoom and the spirit that olemiss' other site reported that Golson had told someone, maybe the writer for that site that "he just didn't fit in at olemiss". That along with the report that coaches had to go to alabama to talk him into coming back after christmas break tells us that he just didn't like being at olemiss. But of course, we sort of knew that might be the reason.

I heard somewhere also that they had to beg the kid to come back from Christmas break.

Only if he counted towards their recruiting ranking for the year.

This

I heard 3 months ago they had to go get him to get him back on campus after Christmas. He just wants out of there, hell, who could blame him? It's Grenada without the Lake... Might as well have their campus in Ripley or some shit

Sandberg is a top 15 QB if he doesn't play baseball... That was big.

Kimdeachiees brotha from anotha motha lasted about 4 days and bitched the whole time.

That's why I laugh at and talk shit about Yancy and his disciples. You can't look at a recruiting class and "know" that team will be good or bad in 3 years. Templeton Hardy, Robert Elliot, and (I forget the name of that huge ass RB who transferred and never did shit) were all "huge" gets for MSU. Their lesser counterparts who no one else really seemed to want are all in the NFL. A solid percent of kids won't make it to their senior year, and not because they were good enough to leave early. Another portion of 3 and 4 stars will lose their jobs to true or redshirt freshmen (Morrow, Robinson) who no one is even considering at this point.

When you put all of your eggs in the "let's grab a bunch of people who have no business being in north Mississippi because their film looks pretty" basket more times than not it's going to blow up in your face.

Looks like Hugh is bitter.

Fixed.

Obviously, he's transferring out of love.

Wow. Trying to publicly shame the guy into regretting his decision to leave. There was this little tidbit from an AL.com article:

Golson said Freeze has been very understanding of the situation.

"He told me, 'Do what's best for you.' He understands it doesn't have anything to do with football."

Is Freeze talking from both sides of his mouth, perhaps pretending to be understanding, but really just trying to manipulate the kid?

Guess this also means Freeze has no intention of pursuing other team's recruits once they have "committed".***

5. Homesick

6. Just unhappy

There are a lot of freshmen and sophomores in college that transfer because they are too far from home (even when they are literally an hour drive away). And a lot of freshmen and sophomores that are unhappy or are just having trouble adjusting and they transfer because they think it will help, when it's not the school that's the problem.

And that's ignoring the possibility that it is just Oxford. State or Ole Miss have to worry a little bit when they get recruits from much bigger cities. I think we'd both see a lot more transfers if playing DI sports wasn't basically a full time job that doesn't give athletes enough free time to get bored with the towns. Throw in the universities racial issues, and it's easy to see why people would want to get the hell out of dodge. I doubt anybody's freshmen and sophomore experience is anything like their recruiting visits, but reality has to be especially jarring in Oxford.

I never really thought about a player's experience being nothing like their OV. Obviously it'll never be exactly like that, but there were several players, select guys, who showed up at parties or bars in the off season or whatever who could close the place down for free basically while I was there. Guys like Chad Bumphis could still walk into the Bin and have it become a party.

It's a personality thing. College, not just for athletes, is as fun as you're willing to make it. Ask AD.
