Entering the weekend, ensuring Keegan Croucher stays locked in with Ole Miss was an absolute must for Pete Golding. But what Croucher said of his official visit to Oxford officially slammed the door shut on all 'flip-watch' talks.
“My visit to Oxford was great as always. I am locked in with Ole Miss," Croucher told Rivals.
Keegan Croucher excited for being recruiter at Ole Miss
Croucher didn't just double down on his commitment, though. No, verbal commitments can be hollow and leaves room for doubt. Instead, Croucher’s comments suggested that outside poaching efforts aren't just failing—they’ve become entirely inconsequential.
The Baylor QB’s active involvement in Pete Golding’s recruiting efforts speaks for itself; a five-star prospect with Georgia, Kentucky, and Indiana in hot pursuit doesn’t treat an official visit like a recruiting trip unless he already believes Oxford is his own.
"There was a lot of really good players there this weekend and I feel like we can get them all. I am locked in with Ole Miss. I’m excited to keep recruiting and building this class," Croucher said of his visit.
That sentence alone should bury all flip talks on Croucher. He's already leading the charge for Rebels.
Croucher’s constant social media efforts to lure elite talent to the Sip are a definitive signal of his commitment. A kid who's too busy looking around for options doesn't have time to support recruiting. He's not it.
He didn't stop at his own commitment; he rattled off a list of priority prospects from the weekend he's actively trying to pull into the fold. 2027.
"Cade Cooper, Eli Pearl, Alvin Mosley, Brylan Odour, Easton Royal, Tae Walden.” Then he moved to the offensive linemen: “Bryson Hurt, Antonio Berry, Caden Moss. Some others too.”
"Still working on getting (five-star running back David Gabriel Georges, a teammate of Croucher’s at Baylor School) here too!" he added, since Ole Miss is one of the four schools Gabriel Georges has shortlisted, and the competiton is cut-throat.
There's never anything permanent in recruiting world, but Croucher's words coming out of the weekend in Oxford suggested he might be there a long time.
