The foundation has been set for the most part which has yet to be done in any of the past 3 classes by Freeze. This is a huge deal.

QB of the class, who will likely be as big of a recruiting magnet as Robert Nkemdiche was in 13' (despite not being committed).. Check

A few influential top prospects from Mississippi (DK Metcalf and Benito Jones) Check

A major sleeper in Octavius Cooley Check

What awaits:

Ole Miss has some natural ties with Jeffrey Simmons and Nigel Knott that most likely will lead to them being Rebels giving them in all likelyhood 4 out of the top 5 in the State.

Summer camp will provide clarity for the Mississippi kids on the brink of a commitable offer like a Greg Eiland, Nero Nelson, or LaMarques Thomas.

The most pivotal position in the class in my opinion is Offensive Line. It appears they'll take an upward of 6 total (1 JuCo) in this class if they're the right guys. Here's sort of a running list of key prospects at the position

Willie Allen, Bryce Matthews, Scott Lashley are the main names to watch at Tackle as far as HS prospects go.

They'll take a JuCo Tackle in this class and they are hot after three of them. Charles Baldwin, Tate Leavitt, and Garrett Bolles are the main three canidates. All physically meet the SEC standard and have the offer lists to back it.

Charles Baldwin seems like the most likely of the three from JuCo. Gilbert Pena is coaching at his school (ASA)


Linebacker is probably second to OL in regards to importance in this class.

Devin White is a flat out monster, he's the top prospect at LB and possibly top overall of the uncommitted. He's a must sign and as mentioned above Shea Patterson is a factor here.

They have been on Daniel Bituli a really long time. It will be a battle with Tennessee.

Tim Hart out of Memphis is another one they'll want to take, also a battle with Tennessee for his services.

The obvious trend here is rangier, fast linebackers



So much to look forward to for recruiting nerds like myself.
