Recruiting season is full speed now.
Good luck getting a player out of West Point
Most delusional fanbase ever! Just had a conversation with a bear, he said the Egg Bowl was the biggest fluke since Appalachian State beat Michigan. I told him not even #5 in the backfield could even help them.
Flukes happen 80% of the time.***
Notice that the idiot said may visit. I doubt he will. Obviously trolling to get us riled up again to bad mouth recruits...ahh, always the same shit different year. Have they ever flipped a guy (besides maybe CJ Johnson) who was a big time State guy growing up? Even if they do get some of these guys to visit they won't flip. Just don't see it.
According to my TSUN brethren the Egg Bowl is not the Rivalry. It is LSU. Since the Egg Bowl personally I have noticed the Maroon and White nation has relaxed and enjoying the holiday season. Recruiting will work itself out and over the years the star system seems as useless as sandpaper butt wipe. On the other hand TSUN seems unhinged somewhat.Quote:

Our class this year wont be great or anything- but will have some solid players in it. We are already off to a great start on the 2015 class- not worried in the least
C34 agreed. But after the EB something has changed to me. Liking our stance.
Oh we are in great shape right now. The perception is that Ole Miss is so young- but we played 15 freshmen in the EB, they played 11. We have 39 of 44 returning on the 2 deep. Our time is nowQuote:

Calhoun, Benny Brown, and Will Redmond were the 3 that impressed me the most and two of those are CBs which is where our huge weakness was. That's why our defense was so damn good the last 3 weeks. Those two guys, along with everyone else in the secondary, played about as good a lock down defense as you can.Quote:

I can tell you for a fact they are getting this from their running back commit. Not Aeris. Chris chambless has been out of town this week. He will stop all that noise this week
No way it's coming from Aeris- and why I made the thread. They are trying to manufacture drama and send our fanbase into doing stupid shit. Hopefully we have learned.
Here's the deal with Yancy --
ANYTIME he floats a name early -- it's bullshit. Just there to get a rise out of us. Same as "Will Redmond transferring to Ole Miss" last year. Their own fans know how to wade through this bullshit -- and the vast majority of them will poke and prod us while knowing almost certainly that Aeris has no intentions to visit them.
When Yancy actually has something of merit -- he hints at it -- basically saying "we've got a huge prospect that's thinking about making a visit and the name will surprise people" and stuff like that. Yancy loves Ole Miss. He would NEVER "out" a kid on the front end that was ACTUALLY planning to visit thus allowing our side the chance to try to prevent the visit. He would hint and beat around the bush -- then he would let everyone know who he was talking about when the kid actually made it to campus.
Ex: Chris Jones' visit to them had been in the works for awhile last year. A couple of weeks before he actually went, several of us here were told that he'd informed our coaching staff of his intentions to visit. Naturally, we kept that quiet and hoped his OV to MSU would change his mind -- and that it would die a quiet death without a CJ Johnson freak out. But it didn't -- and we know the rest of the story(although our fans handled it better this time overall). Yancy had worked all the sheep into a frenzy about the "secret visitors" -- but he never actually came out and said "Chris Jones is visiting Ole Miss" until Jones was in Oxford. 4* LSU commit DE Frank Herron was another surprise visitor that didn't show up -- and Yancy only told them after the fact that he was another guy he was talking about.
Speaking of this, why did so many UM people (Rounsaville, McCready, etc.) make such a big deal about the "Kailo is transferring" rumors, but the same people seem fine with Yancy doing the exact same thing?Quote:

Speaking of OM, they are probably about to have another top 10 class. It's unbelievable.
Laurence Jones ("Hootie") is going to fall in their lap. After he decommitted from Bama, he reached out to OM for some reason. He plays same position with Jamal Adams and LSU isn't going to take both. Good friends with Hamilton. A top 50 player.
Lots of noise around them and Bo Scarbrough.
Terrance Alexander - a 4* CB.
I had heard that Ashton Shumpert was another surprise visitor but he didn't show up either. Allegedly there were four surprise visitors- Jones, Herron, Shumpert and one other that I'm not sure on. Probably Carl Lawson or Jason Carr.Quote:

They do not want to face the reality that the players that they pretend are going to lead them back to prominence really aren't.Quote:

But that's the good thing about this board- there's FINALLY a MSU place that can call them out and not have to face the thread getting locked.
I have always wanted to ask this: Why does SPS lock so many threads about Ole Miss? Is one of the founders an OM alum, married to an OM alum? What are we looking at here?
None of the above. I'd have to see specifically what you are talking about to comment. DS is a good dude that is all Dawg.Quote:

DS is MSU all the way. But Ole Miss fans know that is something is being said that they don't like, they can turn it into a money shit slinging contest and get the thread locked.Quote:

HD6 is fat piece of shit. DS is not a bad guy at all and is State all the way. But he is also a businessman, and a shitshow is good for business.Quote:
