That is stupid for the simple fact that Sports Illustrated isn’t something that carries the same symbolism with 17 year olds as it does middle aged dudes. Should be ESPN magazine at the very least.

Oh well, they’ll probably read this and make a revision.

Good Lord...

As preacher said, this is so OM. Are the pages $100 bills and escort service ads?

I cringe when I see that. Does Hodor sign everything now? Every time I see some OM football image it has his signature on it. Hell, other sports may also have his signature on it too.

Here's what Luke is sending out to '19 recruits

It's the '19 OM marketing ploy to Mississippi HS recruits. From OM 24/7 .. "The Rebels have made a slogan for their program called "Mississippi Made". Part of that identity is gathering the majority of the prospects in the Magnolia state for the '19 class."

"They reiterated to me on the visit that I have a lot of pull with a lot of the players in Mississippi this year. They already have some of us committed. They are trying to get everybody to play together so we can go win a national championship with Mississippi boys. I think we could dominate if we all stayed home."

The REALLY funny part is .. apparently they think that most of the Miss HS recruits are idiots. There are ONLY ~25 Miss HS players on the last OM roster (~24% even counting MS JC players that are not from MS). How long until these players realize that MSU has >54% of their roster is Miss HS kids?

Also .. OMs '18 signing class had 4 HS players from the state of Miss (+2 from MS JCs) while MSU signed 13 from Miss (+2 from MS JCs) 15 of 23 = 65%

So, WHICH team is 'Mississippi Made?'

I hope our coaches take them more seriously than many of you do. It has been shown time and time again, when these kids all band together and perceive something as popular, they roll with it. Luke is going all-in on this class.

I personally hope the Network opens up the wallet again. They really would become the SMU of this era. NCAA be watchin' and stuff

Buuuttttutttut...Mississippi Made is about Matt Luke....BS this graphic is proof that they are applying it to recruiting.

So a few years back, they were sooooo adamant that they were a NATIONAL brand... right up there with the Alabamas and Ohio States of the world. They were all in with Freeze jetting all over the country and recruiting on a national scale... you know - to match their new, self-declared national identity. I'd say the only thing that's nationally known about Ole Miss is that they had the eye of the NCAA on them for years for a reason. I'm sure the recruiting 'budget' has been limited.

Fast forward to post NCAA / Hugh Freeze escort recruiting trip fiasco and they're focused on sewing up things in-state.

No more recruiting trips allowing a coach to jet off to Tampa with a burner phone and a hooker ad.

Is that a lie? They aren't even in the top 10 for 2019 recruiting rankings. Seems desperate but very OM. Really glad we're not doing "Can O Swag" any more though. That was pretty bad looking back on it.

Nope that is Nakobe Dean, '19 recruit and #1 player in the Miss class, as quoted on OM 24/7 ..

Nakobe Dean out of Horn Lake, Miss., has the made the trek down to the Oxford campus so many times he can't count them all up. His older bother, Nicholas, is a sophomore at Ole Miss.

Good thing the NCAA punished them with limited unofficial visits. ***

I’m not laughing. We have to take this class serious as 17.

Although looking at, it’s not very diverse. Mainly DEs with a LB, athlete/WR sprinkled in. At least that’s how the top 12 looked

What OM has done is boring, old, and copyright-infringing.

But this? This is genius:

Raises a lot of questions. Assuming the kid on the cover is the only one which got that one. If not think they’re in trouble again. Think the NCAA has a few rules about publication of comments on unsigned recruits

OM's 2019 class is currently ranked #17 on 247 composite, with an 88.38 average commit rating.

State's overall composite ranking is #21, but our 96.77 average per commit is currently #1 for 2019.

It has the SEC logo on it that requires a licensing agreement? It doesn't come off as a parody to me. It also uses Matt Luke's signature. I wouldn't want any fans or anyone on the staff doing it. I'll see if Steve will submit it to Thomas Mars. I think he will pass it on to the correct people that will submit a cease and desist order. there are some ignorant people up there that love crossing the boundaries.

You let us mess around and win 10 games next year and compete for the SECW....That will help tremendously with recruiting.
