Two questions about recruiting for the recruiting gurus.

[Digging dog]

1. Could this upcoming year be one of Mullen's better classes.
2. What are our chances with Gay and Avery?

From somebody that really doesn't follow recruiting that much. I'd just like to know a little input.

Two questions about recruiting for the recruiting gurus

1. This should be one of Mullen's highest ranked classes - reasonable expectation is 15-20. The number of scholarships available will help this year. JUCO re-evaluations could bump it higher because some of them are probably undervalued right now.
2. Avery - seems to change by the minute. Current thought is 60/40 Auburn ahead of MSU, but could could get crazy if McGriff gets the DC job @ TSUN. He is an early enrollee supposed to announce tomorrow.
Gay - sounds like we are in good shape right now.

No need for any further comment, he nailed it.

If Avery signs with Auburn, that should shut down any further talk of McGriff to OM.

 

[coach66]

Not really, he doesn't sign until February. If he commits to Auburn or us he

can still flip in two weeks in Crimedog gets the DC job.

In fact, knowing Ole Miss, they would wait for Avery to announce his commitment to Auburn and McGriff before throwing money at McGriff to come to Ole Miss...just to be sure McGriff is worth the hire.

If I was a recruit I would hate to be that tied to the hip of one assistant for my decision on which school to sign with. For all you know that assistant may not even still be around at that school by the time you actually get onto the depth chart.

So is Avery supposed to be an early enrollee or no? I see conflicting posts on that.

Also, will be the major recruiting services do any more re-rankings before signing day? Got to think guys like K. Thompson and even K. Hill could be seeing some good jumps due to recent performances.

They usually sign grant-in-aid paperwork in December, start attending class in January, & then actually sign a National Letter of Intent on Signing Day in February.

But once they start classes the NCAA clock begins to tick right? If they back out on a commitment they still took classes at the school of their choice and then have to sit out a year as a transfer???

Understand that, but I would imagine McGriff would be telling him what he was going to do. If McGriff was going to Oxford, they would go ahead and do it. They are already down 3 coaches/recruiters. They can't afford to drag this thing out.

Ok, maybe we are gonna do a little better than we thought. We will find out

soon enough, fingers crossed.

1. Yes , but as with all classes its what you do with them that makes a great class. Highly rated classes that dont amount to much arent worth a ham sandwich.

2. Gay is being tempted by more than michigan. LSU has come on hard. He is probably seeing the Michigan opportunity as making a splash nationally as opposed to continuing as a home town hero. His momma likes Michigan. LSU has been at SHS constantly. MSU is still in there. Avery might come but i think we hedged our bets in the last 48 hours and would welcome him if he chose us. I just dont think we will consider it a program changer if we dont.
