The 2017 Ole Miss Football Class have been signed. Now let’s analyze the signees.
The frenzy of National Signing Day is now in the rear view, and Ole Miss, despite a few unpleasant surprises, had a pretty successful day – all things considered.
With the possibility of NCAA sanctions looming overhead, and the uncertainty of when any punishments may be applied, head coach Hugh Freeze had to walk a delicate line when luring recruits to Oxford.
Sell the program. Sell the future. Sign the recruits.
Heading into National Signing Day most Ole Miss fans had an uneasy feeling as to what the day may bring. However, by the end of the day most were okay with the Rebel signees. Ole Miss football addressed some much needed issues.
Before we delve into analyzing the 2017 class, there were recruits that we missed out on. It was tough losing running back Cordarrian Richardson to Maryland or UCF or wherever.
In addition, it was a little surprising losing Eric Stokes Jr. to Georgia. However, we are happy with the signees that choose to make Ole Miss their home.
