wrong

He convinced Tunsil to come on board and was there on Conner's OV. He isn't the only reason they signed, but he is part of the reason.

Every year there is a surprise team around #5-8 that catches lightning in a bottle. This year it was Ole Miss. They were in the basement for so long, they are due to have a little hope. Let them have it until the season starts and they come back to reality.

this.

and, don't fool yourself if you think this cant become a pattern. its amazaing what winning can do. it wasnt too long ago that LSU and Bama were both bottom or middle of the pack SEC teams. in walks a coach that can win, then recruit, ...yada yada yada.

while tradition and history helps (see bama), its not like OM has never won. who knows, but betting money is likely that it won't pan out. i wouldnt take that bet, though.

I get it about Robert Nkemdiche's brother. But its not like RN went out and recruited other 4-5 star players to jump aboard. Up until the last day he seemed to seriously consider LSU.
So does anyone have any real ( or second hand) insight into Ole Miss and how they pulled it off?
I've been to Oxford, seen the town and campus and don't understand it.

What's the matter? You don't like beautiful girls, good food, and a day in the Grove. Do you prefer obnoxious and constantly carping fans? You should enjoy Oxford and visit more often.

Oxford is consistently ranked as one of the top small towns in America. The campus is on numerous lists as one of the most beautiful in the entire country. Calipari, just last week, praised Ole Miss as having the nicest campus he had ever seen. Plus, Ole Miss has , per capita, some of the most beautiful coeds in the country. It's not too hard to understand.

After RN's mother, father, and brother got RN's mind made up for OM, RN then started calling and texting the other recruits that he met at the various all-star games trying to get them to OM. RN recruited these guys, not the OM coaches, so to speak. This was shown in a live interview on TV on our local television. He did say that if he didn't go to OM, it would have been LSU. RN did the recruiting of the stars.
