OT: Hugh Freeze is Salty
To add to an already great day for Michigan of swiping recruits out of SEC territory, Hugh Freeze decided to add the cherry on top.
While Michigan spent the day celebrating its new additions with the SOS ceremony, Freeze decided to take a shit all over his as soon as they signed their LOI. He took today to complain about negative recruiting. Turns out it's hard to recruit with cash with the NCAA watching you. I feel terrible for their commits though.

"This recruiting class: It was a penalty,"
"It was ugly. I didn't enjoy it,"

He looked like death on ESPNU earlier today. Deff did not enjoy this recruiting cycle without the boosters paying for everything it seems. Tough.

I don't feel sorry for hugh, BTW, go fuck yourself hugh, I feel sorry for all the unemployed bagmen who use to work for him. Hopefully he can rehire them when he lands at his next job.

Haha I'm sure their signees felt really special

This isn't a punishment, this is exactly where they should be, without cheating.
It's a shitty university in the worst state in the country with a historically weak football program.
He should be glad he even got one or two 4-stars.

Mississippi is far and away worse than Ohio. Sorry.

Can't think of Mississippi without thinking of Phil Ochs ethering it 50 years ago.

Their 2nd highest ranked recruit is a "sign and place". Not expected to qualify, someone they are hoping to get after he goes to Juco. I wouldn't be surprised if there are others in the class.

Never forget.

I am sure he meant trying to recruit under those circumstances was ugly.
But, when you just look at the quote straight up, boy, is he going to have a good time talking to recruits parents.
February 1st, 2017 at 5:40 PM ^
you mean "out of context," then yes - looks pretty damning. I read some of the transcript and he didn't mean it to denigrate the kids they recruited, but that the whole process was a slog, ugly with negative recruiting, and felt like they were being penalized already.
February 1st, 2017 at 6:38 PM ^
It was a relief when the Ed Martin penalties were finally levied here. Recruiting suffered with it hanging over our heads. It's crazy for him to expect any sympathy.
February 2nd, 2017 at 2:11 AM ^
But the point has been made that it isn't the NCAA breathing down their necks, it's just where Ole Miss would normally be at if they hadn't been paying their students the last 3 years. They are a school without a history of football or academic excellence in a shitty state going against the best recruiting teams in the country. They have just returned to the normal recruiting abilities a school like Ole Miss should have. The penalties could take them significantly lower than this.
February 1st, 2017 at 5:12 PM ^
had to actually go out and recruit without the aid of piles of money. Probably surprised that 4 and 5* guys aren't dying to go to Oxford and be 8-4 every year without the extra incentives
February 1st, 2017 at 5:13 PM ^
I bet those kids can't wait to show up on campus now.
February 1st, 2017 at 5:18 PM ^
Freeze has been at Ole Miss for 5 years and it's been a big disappointment.
Remember that part in the Bagmen article where he said that when coaches fall out of favor they stop paying? This is the punishment for losing.
February 1st, 2017 at 5:18 PM ^
He'd better hope his current signees don't have any talented younger siblings.
February 1st, 2017 at 5:22 PM ^
hypocritical, rich coaches who cheat and get caught are sad. drain the swamp.
February 1st, 2017 at 5:27 PM ^
Obligatory

A BIT out of context with the "ugly" quote. He was saying that the negative recruiting was ugly.

If my kid were part of this "punishment class" I'd probably try to convince my son to transfer out asap. fuck that asshole
February 1st, 2017 at 5:51 PM ^
Oh I 'member!

Jesus. If I'm one of the players who committed to him, what the hell makes me want to play for him now?
Ole Miss' regression to the mean this year makes them look like the last few years were just a flash in the pan. If they have another bad year next year, they could go right back to being the same Ole Miss they were before he showed up: a football graveyard that only has Archie and Eli Manning to cling to.

I would like to think that Hugh Freeze feels that the effort spent on recruiting takes valuable time away from his family and by "penalty", it meant that he put in unwanted hours which meant less time to enjoy mowing the lawn and cleaning up that one spot in the family room where the dog goes when everyone is too busy playing "Candy Crush".
