No one cares what Ole Miss is doing.

Of course he left off the fact that they were all Hand Written with crayons!!

What is the point of writeing someone that many times. And am i the only one who thinks its weird that ole miss seems to be spending alot of time in illinois? This is one weird pipeline for an SEC school.

Notre Dame doesn't need to send kids that many letters to get their attention. If that is why a kid picks Ole Miss, he wasn't ND material clearly anyways.

when you suck on an annual bases and have nothing special to offer a recruit.. you have to mail 50+ letters.

how'd ND do with its last two classes? 

I think our coaches have an idea or two about what needs to be done.

This is an idea copied from Nick Saban. Last year he sent Alvin Kamara 105 letters in one day.

Regardless of what you may think Ole Miss has been a football power in the past just like everyone was saying about Notre Dame going into last year. As far as someone going to Ole Miss not being of Notre Dame caliber, that's major preppie snobby isn't it? What do you know about Ole Miss? Actually it is a pretty well respected school if you care.

Again, Ole' Miss maybe a good school for the regular student but their FB grad rate is a bit beyond bad at the bottom of the SEC:

Football Graduation Rates: SEC
Vanderbilt	86%
LSU	77%
Florida	76%
Alabama	69%
Georgia	65%
Auburn	63%
Mississippi St.	62%
Kentucky	61%
Tennessee	61%
Arkansas	56%
South Carolina	55%
Mississippi	54%

Vanderbilt continues lead the SEC in football grad rates. No surprise there. LSU and Florida are next with reported GSRs of 77% and 76%, which is somewhat of a surprise to us. Part of the reason LSU and Florida reported relatively high grad rates is that they don't have to count all the transfers they lost. These two programs churn through a remarkable number of transfers. With outgoing transfers taken into account, both LSU and Florida have a "federal graduation rate" of just 48% -- almost 30 percentage points lower than their reported GSRs. Now you can see why the football factories lobbied the NCAA to adopt the factory-friendly GSR system of measuring graduation rates.

Highly debatable, from an academic standpoint they are not very well regarded. However from a social standpoint, extremely highly regarded and a great place to enjoy college. I have zero problem with what Ole Miss is doing and hope they can unseat Alabama and LSU who you could not pay me to root for.

...Ole Miss would immediately be off my list.

Talk about overkill ridiculousness.

They HAVE to write 54 letters because when recruits see the first 53, those letters go straight to the trash.

i went down to oxford one spring evening last year, and it was very strange to me.  ALL the guys downtown (where the handful of crappy bars are) wore this exact thing: cargo shorts or tan shorts that landed above the knee, leather flip-flops or brown leather shoes like one would wear on a boat, and a polo/button-down/pfg (i think that's what it was called? i had no idea what this was before i was there, but these guys were all wearing, to the bar, mind you, shirts specially designed for going fishing). they all had similarly medium-length, sort-of swishy hair. they basically all looked like racist lawyers that worked for the district attorney's office, if you ask me. all the girls wore sun dresses or HUGE t-shirts and little shorts.

the whole experience was a little weird and creepy.

no spit, right?!  Christian Morgan, a Texan, commits to Ole Miss??  Devonte Kincade another texan, couple tennesseans with good offer lists commit to ole miss??

It's called the South Shaunzo and it's a Frat thing. Although I'm calling ******** on the cargo shorts. no one but GDIs wear them down here and Ole Miss is about as Fratty as it gets. PFG shorts have the pockets in front and may have been mistaken as cargo shorts. not the same.

Yes, I'm a northwesterner who has moved to the south. It's like studying a different culture. for the record, sperry's are comfortable as hell.

My uncle from Glaucester, Mass. played for Ol Miss in the 1920s before he played in the early NFL. I have a photo of him on the main street in Oxford, Miss. where the unpaved street was full of horse wagons. It looked more like the 1820s than the 1920s.

If I'm the number one recruit in the country, I'm not going to Ole Miss unless there is an arrangement for a new SUV, a 4 bedroom home, and for Kate Upton to clean my house in a french maid outfit.  

i can dig sperrys. and i think you're right about my confusion regarding the cargo shorts.

it was still all very creepy. i kept looking over my shoulder, anticipating the horror of a lynching or the like.
