Ole Miss making its mark in recruiting

Ole Miss making its mark in recruiting

The Rebels may do things a little differently, but they’re still having success. Each of their last two classes has been ranked in the top 25 by ESPN.

What Nutt and his staff have excelled at is committing prospects later in the process. The current trend is to load up on commitments early and have as many as possible on board going into the season. But as Newberg points out, the Rebels have committed 44 prospects over the last two years from Thanksgiving to national signing day, which always falls on the first Wednesday in February.

That’s what you call getting busy on the recruiting trail in crunch time.
