BearShark's OL may be getting a little thinner.

This is exactly Freeze's strategy. He described that in detail to lots of media after the Robert Kimdeechy class. He said they identify 12 top national recruits. Not #1 - #12, but 12 of the better guys in the nation that would fill needs. They identify "champions", a person most likely able to influence the recruit. They go hard after the recruit and the champion.

Now if they are 50% successful, they sign 6 studs. But the rest of the class is just...meh.

Do that every year and build hype and momentum to the point where they can sign more and more good players without having to make the class so top heavy.

That's his plan. Period. Not my words, his.

I get it. But I also agree with you. This is not a good strategy.

However, it perfectly fits Ole Miss's obsession with image and prestige.

I'd hate to see that obsession end. 4 out of the last 5, bitches.
