Did Ole Miss really sign 38????? Wow according to ESPNU they did. Are they going to have around 13 not qualify? Plus they still list 3 more as verbals but not yet committed. http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/school?schoolId=145&season=2009&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fncf%2frecruiting%2ftracker%2fschool%3fschoolId%3d145%26season%3d2009
I asked that question on the tigers den - thats the most I have ever heard of in the modern era.. I remember before restrictions Pittsburgh signed a unbelieveable number(around 100) when J Majors was coach.
This is what an Ole Miss fan had to say about it: We can only take 25. This is my best guess: In 1 - Logan Clair 2 - AJ Hawkins 3 - Craig Drummond 4 - Jamar Hornsby 5 - Pat Patterson 6 - Bob Massie 7 - Raymond Cotton 8 - Rodney Scott 9 - Korvic Neat 10 - DT Shackelford 11 - Corey Gaines 12 - Tyler Campbell 13 - Emmanuel McCray 14 - Artice Kellam 15 - Frank Crawford 16 - JaMes Logan 17 - Joel Kight 18 - Tim Simon 19 - Z Mason 20 - Alex Williams 21 - Tig Barksdale 22 - Dele Junaid 23 - Charles Sawyer Greyshirt 1 - Andrew Ritter 2 - Montez Phillips 3 - Gabriel Hunter 4 - Mike Thomas Sign-and-place 1 - Eric Smiley 2 - Stephen Houston 3 - Willie Ferrell Academic? 1 - Mike Marry Hargrave? 1 - Jesse Grandy 2 - DeMarcus Knight 3 - Terrell Grant 4 - Ryan Campbell 5 - Evan Swindall 6 - Cameron Whigham 7 - Michael Brown The Hargrave lump is a little nebulous. Obviously we've got 2 more slots for schollies this year then what I've listed. I have no idea who will get those. And some of the "Hargrave" group will outright not qualify and go JUCO. Not all, not even most, of those who go the prep school route will get scholarships next year. One or two might, depending on how they develop physically/skill-wise, some will be encouraged to get schollies elsewhere, and some will end up walking on next year (as we had one, Andre Sterling, do this year). Nutt is really going to abuse the prep school system. It's a way of redshirting marginal players without really having to committ to them because you can turn them loose. Sometimes you even still get them back as walk-ons despite that.
