2013 Signing Class: Ole Miss’ Target Zone

Ole Miss added 28 players from 8 different states on Wednesday and Thursday. A breakdown of the Rebels’ “target zone” is below:

Mississippi = 10 recruits

Georgia = 5

Tennessee = 4

Alabama = 3

Texas = 3

Florida = 1

Illinois = 1

Louisiana = 1

In-State Signees = 35.7%

Out-Of-State Signees = 64.2%

Observation:

Oh, if Hugh Freeze could just draw it up like this every year. But it’s not every season the #1 prospect in the country has a brother who’s already on your team and a mother who wants ‘em to play together. That said, look at the spread of this class — three or more signees from Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. As long as the University of Tennessee is down, Freeze and Ole Miss should just try to annex Memphis. Also take note of those 10 in-state signees. Houston Nutt seemed willing to cede many in-state targets to Mississippi State, content to cherry pick the best and then raid other states for talent. Freeze — at least for one year — seems intent upon taking back the Magnolia State.

The question is, How do you keep recruits from posting on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc, pictures of themselves and all the money they have just received? The coaches can't warn them not to post pics of them with the money, because they could later come back and say the coaches said not to post pics, and thereby they knew they were receiving money and didn't report it.

Anyway, happy with our class. Hoddy Toddy!
