OM Recruiting

[Uncle Ruckus]

We’re obsessed yada yada yada
Now that that’s out of the way, for those of you who don’t follow recruiting, but know how those cheating cocksuckers recruit, check this.
When you have a hard cap of 25 players and arguably the most loaded crop of MS HS talent EVER, Ole Miss already has 22 of their 25 players committed in June. But....20 of them are 3 stars, and the two 4 stars (Ealy and Black) have about a 1% chance of ever wearing the red and blue.
Kharma is a *****.

 

[tatedog]

Hate it for them.

 

[Shmuley]

That’s a shame. *

 

[coach66]

It’s the new normal, get used to it!

[Duke Humphrey]

Thanks! Now I won't be able to sleep tonight, worrying about them. **

 

[JoMo MoJo]

Yahtzee!

 

[Dawg1976]

I'm surprised they are able to get so many 3 stars. Must still be cheating.

 

[DerHntr]

I guess Matthew, Mark, Hugh, and John was a better combination for crootin’

 

[RightOfCenter]

I miss all the fish pictures.**

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

Hugh K says that UM is just getting the three stars out of the way and committed now so that they can identify/hone in on the four stars down the stretch. Yancy says it’s all a ploy to get UM’s name in the paper and keep the recruiting ranking high all year- that they plan on dropping several of these guys when it becomes convenient for UM.

It’s sad when Yancy’s narrative is more believable.

 

[57stratdawg]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they hit 35-40 verbal commits this year. A lot of churn coming soon.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

But are they winning the damned party?

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

Does Oxford have a mall?

I'm not going to say I heard it straight from the horse's mouth because that isn't true. But I have it from someone who did hear it straight from the horse's mouth and I have no reason to do anything other than 100% believe him: Ole Miss ain't so confident they are getting all of those 3 stars either.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

And this is why the whole "butda NCAA didn't do nothin, we should cheat like they did" is strait ********. They are going to be paying for that investigation for a while.

So I guess they really didn’t get any ncaa penalties. They seem to be on track to sign the full 25, like everyone else.

 

[The Peeper]

So now instead of boasting about all their 5* talent, they'll have to resort to being like we were during the Merlin years and talk about what great diamonds in the rough they are getting and what a great developer of talent Luke is. Get ready for it cause it's coming

They plan to sign 29 or 30 croots btw and acknowledge they'll process some of these commits later. They take the commits now to boost their ranking and get "momentum"

 

[GloryDawg]

But they are still out recruiting Mullen.

This...some have taken the hard 25 as not being able to count back. You can still count back but can not over sign your available # with non-qualifiers.

 

[WilCoDawg]

Don’t forget Benny Franklin! He was the best recruiter they had.

Recruiting is easily the dirtiest part of all sports. It’s dirtier than selecting where the World Cup or Olympics will be held. (#Flowood2020)

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

No you can not. It’s 25. That’s the limit. No counting back. If you could count back then what is the point of having a 25 limit?

[FONT=&quot]Quoting Steve: "It's a hard limit for the calendar year, so the early enrollment guys in December can count towards the year they sign if there is a spot available. December signees can count backwards or forward depending on the available grants"[/FONT]

 

[StatesboroBlues]

Yes you can. The 25 is for the year...non qualified players count toward this limit. If a team decides to sign 22 total from the previous year...they can sign up to 28 the next as long as 3 are early enrollees.

 

[Xenomorph]

Will the magic still happen in December?

The team rankings don't work that way. The formula takes into consideration the # of recruits a team can have. Your lower ranked recruits count much less than your highly ranked guys.

Ex/Bama could have (4) 5* guys, (6) 4* guys, and (7) 3* guys. Their class could still out rank (25) 3* guys.

Each recruit is weighted in the rankings according to a GAUSSIAN DISTRIBUTION FORMULA (a bell curve), where a team's best recruit is worth the most points. You can think of a team's point score as being the sum of ratings of all the team's commits where the best recruit is worth 100% of his rating value, the second best recruit is worth nearly 100% of his rating value, down to the last recruit who is worth a small fraction of his rating value. This formula ensures that all commits contribute at least some value to the team's score without heavily rewarding teams that have several more commitments than others.

 

[MedDawg]

Their last 6 commits lowered their class avg a full point. ***

OM's magically appearing duffle bag and our disappearing recruit? Abso-F'N-lutely.

 

[Lucky Dawg]

That's a lot easier to do when you're averaging around 8 wins a year. Say what you will about Muddin, but there's no way in hell Luke develops players the way he did. That'll last about 4 games into year 1.

 

[fishwater99]

They have more committed than any other team in the nation.. Coincidence? $$$

After looking it up, I apologize, and you are correct.
The difference now is that non-qualifiers still count towards the 25. It doesn’t matter if they ever set foot on campus, they are counted towards the 25 man signing limit. The 25 has nothing to do with available scholarships, it is just a hard cap on the amount of scholarship papers one can sign per cycle. This, Malik Heath and Patterson can not beat counted as early enrollee spots for this upcoming class. The only way you can sign more than the 25 is if you did not sign the full 25 the previous year. Then you are able to count those available spots the following year for signees.

Yancy announced this strategy months ago: Commit a bunch of kids you hope you don’t have to actually sign solely for the purpose of propping up your recruiting ranking. Keep your name in the national conversation and then lob some Hail Marys at the end and cut the kids you don’t want if the fishing turns out to be good.

There are probably 6 kids on their list right now that they wouldn’t have offered if it wasn’t for this new thing known as recruiting rankings.
