Overall the Ole Miss signing class was surprising, considering the current circumstances.  Time will tell if these players can be developed by the coaching staff and if these players can become a cohesive team.

That is completely inaccurate regarding Corral.  I will say he exhausted as of his options which is how he ended up at Ole Miss.  Actually I am quoting it from the National beat guys when they did their story on him.  Follow the trail that led him to Ole Miss and you will quickly see he didn't choose Ole Miss.  Ole Miss is likely the only school willing to take him by the time he had run everyone else through the gamut.  
 

 I will say Corral had a open offer from A&M and Fisher..

Are you saying that because he supposedly had no other options, he'll be a bust at Ole Miss? I'm just asking.
 

If you watch his film and read what other high school coaches that played against him say I don't think you would conclude that he can't play. The kid got in a fight with Wayne Gretskys son at a high school basketball game Gretsky told the school he would withhold his 200,000.00 $ a year donation to there athletic programs if Matt was not asked to leave the school. Thats were all this stuff comes from about him being a bad kid.

I really don't know what you guys expected.  Considering everything that has happened in the past year, this is actually a little better than I anticipated.  Bow Hunter before you make a GOB comment, yes I am one and continue to support Ole Miss spiritually and financially and would appreciate you spending as much time researching the positives of our team as you do the negatives.

 
Pomouth I didn’t expect much of anything with this class.  Anyone who follows our program would tell you that.  The NCAA black cloud was reason enough then throw in the Freeze resignation and the Luke interim to full time hire.  Plenty of reasons to have a dud of a class.  I’m pleasantly surprised with the kids we signed.  What I don’t like and have issues with is the sunshine pumping regarding to “stealing this kid” or “flipping this kid” without the full context.   For the casual fan that is complete disservice and leads to unrealistic expectations for the future.  Any way you slice it we signed several kids yesterday simply because other schools backed away.  It was mildly mentioned by Longo in his post signing day remarks.  That is the recruiting methodology that Cut used and filled our roster full of 2 and 3 star kids who were not SEC level talent.  I’m just being upfront and calling it what it is.  Don’t really care if that is offensive to anyone else.  It’s the truth and we are going to end up at the same conclusion.  Some will just get there later than others. 
I have always supported our school and our programs.  I am not a GOB or one of their supporters.  Why?  Simple.  50 years of mediocrity is plenty of proof and time to figure out that system is limiting and damaging to our school with their self serving mentalities. 
In regards to positives as soon as I see them I will be happy to share them.  So far from the time that Luke was named Interim HC this has been a trainwreck no matter how much sunshine or spin gets placed on the actual results and the actual work.  Laughable bush league kinds of antics that will place us squarely back where you guys want it.  Average isn’t good enough for winners in anything.  I will never be ok with my school choosing to be average and that is what they have done.  Again I will be the first to admit I was wrong if and when Luke proves worthy of not being fired much less being promoted to HC.  However 14 years is a pretty dang good idea as to what he’s all about and what we can expect.
