After this year, OM is gonna be baaaaaaad.

They should be pretty bad.

They lose most of their OL
They lose their QB. They'll need Corral to be really good
They've recruited some low 4* WRs & may get a few this cycle as well, but don't let that confuse you for the guys they currently have. The next cycle of WRs won't be near as talented.
Defense will stay mostly the same.

The next couple years will be bad for them. They will have a much more depleted roster and don't forget, they will be coached by Matt Luke. Then

Good lord. Look at their markoffs for next year. And as of now, only three 4*’s committed for 2019, with only 1 of those likely to step on campus. They are seriously going to be depleted. Like worse than vandy depleted. It will be glorious to watch Yancy spin their talent level. I knew attrition was going to eat them up in ‘19, but damn.

2/1/2017: "I know they’re going to get a little in trouble but I just feel like I’m at home there. Coach Hugh Freeze never lied to me, so that's where I choose to be."

Agree, and of the ones left, SEVERAL may go ahead and try 'early entry' (AJ, Little, Jones, Lodge ..)

To be honest I am surprise Little and Brown are staying around for next season. Hell they could transfer to where ever they want and play based on NCAA ruling with the other guys from that class. They could get championship rings, go to a big bowl game and probably get matched on money from the boosters from those schools.

Yeah, it ain't about winning for them though. It's about getting to the league & they know OM has a decent QB & that the offense will feed them the ball.

I think both of those guys & Little are just counting down the days till they can go to the NFL.

It's just such a shame that the career of the best WR the state of MS has produced in years has gone to a complete waste because he accepted being bought off. It's literally the most state of Mississippi thing ever. Shooting ourselves in the foot time & time again. If AJ is at MSU, are we going to the playoff or Atlanta? He could've been a hero forever in Starkville & he traded that in for money & a non-memorable career at OM. Just ridiculous

The thing is both would instantly be starters no matter where they go. I could see brown staying because he is close to home but Little is from Texas. Both UT and OK would work out good for him. Now he may not have the grades for those two schools.

They probably look at it like.. 17-it...5 more months and I'm out of here anyway. Sign with an agent, get some real cash. If I transfer somewhere the pressure is on to compete and maybe I have to play two or three more games.. might get injured.. and it's January before I'm done.

"The Ole Miss Way". It seems like a very high % of the 4 & 5 stars that win them National Signing Day do not finish their career at Ole Miss, but maybe I am just not a neutral observer.
