Most Disappointing Recruiting Classes On Rivals: Ole Miss #62 in Rankings
The skinny: This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise considering the dark cloud of possible sanctions hanging over the program, but it is still odd to see the Rebels this low. After reeling in the No. 8 class last year, which was considered more of the norm than an oddity, Ole Miss’ only two four-star commits to this point have come from Breon Dixon and D.D. Bowie. Coach Hugh Freeze has an uphill battle during these last three weeks as competing schools are not being bashful in using the potential sanctions against the Rebels while on the recruiting road.
Farrell’s take: The NCAA issue is clearly affecting things here, and the loss of in-state five-star Cam Akers hurts. We’ve come to expect Ole Miss finishing in the top 25 under Freeze; he’s finished in the top 10 twice since 2013, so No. 62 with a sub-three-star average is alarming.
