Hugh Freeze said Miss St DL Chris Jones is the recruit that got away. They still talk on the phone about life.

 

[MSUDC11]

........ What?

That's weird, Hugh.

 

[rem101]

Then he said once a player commits, he should be signed to that team. No more flipping, hugh?

That's just fricking weird. This is one time I wish the Bear Defense Unit would swoop in and spin this.

Freeze is one odd cat.

 

[57stratdawg]

I'm fine with that. It'll help us.

 

[FreeDawg]

Especially when you consider Godfrey's bag man story when all the "heavy hitter" Nafoom posters that would be in the know told us that Chris Jones tried to record an OM booster for the sake of getting them hit with sanctions. Why would you talk about life with a guy who tried to burn you down (according to OM insiders)?

 

[aTotal360]

He's still gathering info. #PLOIsoon ***

 

[AlSwearengen]

amazing that hugh can find the time to counsel rival players. Since he took over in oxford, his own players have needed quite a bit of advising.

 

[crushing]

If they actually talk, yes, that is very weird. Also, if they are talking, I am sure Chris really wants that info out in the open. I hope they are not talking, because that is weird and creepy. The rest of the team and coaches may not like that he is talking with a rival's coach.

 

[Rezpup]

Sounds like Freeze has Brian Williams syndrome to me; imbellish until you believe it yourself.

As to signing day it seems to me that recruiting would drag out until classes start if it were done away with.

 

[57stratdawg]

Remember, he was trying to get the booster on tape not Freeze. Gotta maintain that deniability.

 

[LandArchDawg]

A man crush, eh?

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

If true, I'm more worried about our All SEC DL calling/taking calls from our rival coach to talk about life.

Just very weird.

 

[Drebin]

That's just fricking weird. This is one time I wish the Bear Defense Unit would swoop in and spin this.

Freeze is one odd cat.

NAFOOM say he clearly wishes he went to Ole Miss. No, seriously, that's what they think.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Not remotely surprising with that gaggle of imbeciles.

 

[coach66]

Strange on so many levels, I think part

Of it is just pure arrogance. I'm not a Hugh hater but it's like the guy can't handle defeat very well which is probably an attribute that will serve him well. It's like it takes the sting out of losing Jones by publicizing this relationship in his mind and his minions.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

he is probably there all the time, hanging out in the grove with katy perry.

 

[RebelBruiser]

I didn't know they were still talking, but I do know Chris was still calling Hugh regularly well after he had already signed with MSU, so it wouldn't shock me if Jones still called him on occasion.

Obviously, they had built a pretty good relationship. I know you guys like to think Freeze is the devil since he's our coach, but he really is genuine about building relationships, and I know he had Jones ready to sign with us until the night before Signing Day.

 

[hatfieldms]

How do you know Chris still called Freeze regularly?

Did you hear that from Jones himself?

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Good Lord.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Olemissbydamn told him****

For the record, I don't agree with Freeze on that idea. I think that kind of rule would lead to a situation where coaches would try to find guys early and put intense pressure on them to sign immediately in order to take them off the market before anyone else finds them.

It would add that much more chaos and pressure to the coaches to make sure they see everyone early, and that's just not possible. I like the idea of possibly having multiple signing periods though, maybe give a week or two at the end of July, the time in December, and then February.

 

[RebelBruiser]

I have a family member that talks with Freeze regularly, and Freeze relayed that he was hearing from Jones daily after Signing Day for a couple weeks before Freeze finally told him he needed to spend more time calling Mullen. Freeze's personality isn't the type to just stonewall the guy if he still wants to talk sometimes.

I've said this before, but Freeze had built a good relationship with Jones, and I guess it sounds like Jones has still kept that line of communication open.

 

[tatedog]

Good Lord.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

[hatfieldms]

Hahaha

Okay.

"Chris, I'm glad you are still wanting to call to talk about life, but you need to spend more time calling Dan. Let's slow down on the calls Chris. I will continue to pray for you and your soul down in Starkville."

 

[HD6]

Of course you do. Why wouldn't you?

 

[xxxWalkTheDawg]

i know he had Jones ready to sign with us until the night before Signing Day.

Then you don't know ****.

pissing your money away on UM recruiting sites to repeat the fluff makes you look like a moron to people that really know.

I don't have any sources with recruits but I did Jones. C Jones was never going to UM. Freeze had to go the father route to try to get him to sign and took mama to De Casa in tupelo (really? De Casa btw?) for a final push. But Mullen was recruiting him as early as his sophomore year. UM may have thrown diddy's lil whores at him on officials, but Mullen had already built the relationships.

 

[ArcherSPS]

By family member he means the owners of Rebel Grove and the Oxford Exxon podcast.

I have a family friend who knows Freeze and he said that you were full of ****.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Well I've got

a family member that talks to Chris, daily, and Chris said he hasn't talked to Freeze in this capacity since 2013!!!!1

 

[dawgatUSM]

Last paragraph. Dead on. Chris may like Freeze. But he was never going to ole miss.

 

[cristilmethod]

Woah

Did you guys see that the tape of Freeze calling Jones leaked tonight?*

 

[Skid Marx.sixpack]

 

[was21]

If it isn't true, Chris Jones should simply deny it and expose him. That would do it

 

[aTotal360]

I've got a family member that thinks you're a dipshit.

Sorry, but I am not buying any of this. It all reeks of a giant troll job by Hue Freeze and the ole miss media spin machine. It's a good one. I'll admit that much. But it just doesn't pass the sniff test.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

I've got a family member that talks with Freeze regularly and he said you're literally a cock sucker.

 

[NIC.sixpack]

Not to get off topic, but what is the significance of "diddy?"

 

[RebelBruiser]

Of course you do. Why wouldn't you?

I probably wouldn't believe me if I was you either, but it's the truth.

The only other options is if Freeze regularly lies to this person I'm talking about, which given many of the other things I've been told, I don't gather that to be a normal occurrence.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Hugh: Chris, if you won't let me adopt you, will you at least accept a small token of appreciation? I had it left in your driveway. It's a personal prayer book on the passenger seat of that Yugo.
