Ed Orgeron's 2006 Class - Re-ranked to #7

According to Andy Staples (a fella who I've gone on record as calling a "dumbass"), our 2006 recruiting class is a top-10 style team in hindsight. While we've basically shrugged our shoulders at recruiting rankings as of late with our "they matter but not that much" stance, that doesn't make this assessment any less interesting.

That class saw some booms and busts. While there were certainly some players who contributed as we would have expected, there were just as many total busts as there were "diamonds in the rough." If anyone needs any indication of why Ole Miss fans are skeptical of recruiting rankings, 2006's recruiting class is it.

Of course, the success in 2008-9 wouldn't have been at all possible without Jevan Snead (2006 signee for Texas), Mike Wallace (2005), Michael Oher (2005), Peria Jerry (2005), Brandon Bolden (2008), Ashlee Palmer (2007), Marshay Green (2005), and Jamarca Sanford (2004) so take Andy Staples' word for whatever it may be worth.

I noticed there didn't seem to be very many 2008 recruits the Rebels had to rely heavily on this past season. I wonder why? Surely, that wouldn't have had anything to do with someone's elses recruiting, especially since Ole Miss has such an awesome coach.
Too bad those silly Razorbacks don't have a coach like that.
I bet Ole Houston Nutt could have taken those 14 True Freshman starters and really kick the snot out of some folks. (Giggity, Giggity)

"I noticed there didn't seem to be very many 2008 recruits the Rebels had to rely heavily on this past season. I wonder why?"

Gonzo, one half of our touchdowns against Texas Tech were scored by 2008 signees. Also, GOOD TEAMS DO NOT FUCKING RELY ON FUCKING FRESHMEN! Jesus tapdancing Christ, Arkansas fans literally seem to be the only motherfuckers on Earth who don't get this. If you are "relying" on a lot of freshmen then your team either has personnel or coaching issues, if not both.

Gonzo, are the Arkansas blogs so shitty you feel compelled to spend all day, everyday reading Ole Miss blogs? Or is it that Arkansas people creep even you out?

Thank goodness we didn't have to rely on mostly 2008 signees. That would've meant putting a bunch of freshmen on the field & we probably would've sucked balls. Like Arkansas.

I think that is trying to say that as a result of Nutt, they had to use a bunch of freshmen.

I would argue that if Nutt was still there, they would not have a lot of freshmen and still would have gone bowling.

relying on true freshmen brings to mind Chris Strong playing MLB vs. Memphis, and that's never good.

Wow! Out of 9 fucking posts, only one guy is coherent enough to understand that 14 True Freshem HAD TO BE FUCKING PLAYED!!!

Oh, but no, don't take my word for it, everyone knows Ole Hootie Giggity Goo left a bunch of those good 'ol supreme athelets is his gigantic wake of legendary coaching supremacy.

"There ain't no coach in his right mind woulda played all those yougens, especially with all those secret All-American just chompin at the bit to finally step up.
Them 'ol Arkie fans just ain't right."

Maybe it's tough convincing kids to live in the state of Arkansas for 4+ years. Touche on "Ole Hootie Giggity Goo," i'm going to use that - the next time i hit on a freshem at the bar
