re: how is ole piss getting these recruits

There is something too often we seem to forget about recruiting. Its called ACADEMICS.

Despite whether or not a player can get their way through a clearing house, they still need to make grades to be able to play. Les Miles has players every year that are "clearing house good", but not "LSU Academics good" [at least enough to be able to play consistently].

Both of the Mississippi SEC Schools are of the worst academic Division One Schools in the entire nation. They are easily the worst in the SEC.

Now that Boise State [another terrible academic school with a football pulse] is up against the ropes for NCAA violations, players that barely can get through the easiest of four-year Ddivision One schools need a place to be able to play and be seen. 'Ol Piss has become the School Du Jour for the moment.

If a player can't be developed into an NFL player who attends [note I didn't say graduates] Ol Miss, what does he have to show for it after his time at Ol Miss is over. Not a hell of a lot.

Those players who's parents really want to have their child get a quality education that is meaningful after they hang up their cleats, because a football career isn't hugely lucrative for the vast majority who pursue it, would steer them away from an Ol Miss "education" if they knew enough about those things. Notice you don't see the Ol Miss recruits decide to play for the Rebs over Vanderbilt, Duke, Stanford, Northwestern, Notre Dame, CAL, USC, UCLA and other top 25 Division One academic institutions.
