Ole Miss players and recruits react to the NCAA allegations

Friday afternoon, just as recruits were pulling onto campus for the Rebels' mega-recruiting weekend, news broke that Ole Miss has been formally issued some 30 allegations by the NCAA, the long-awaited result of a three-year investigation. Not the best timing if you're Hugh Freeze.

Still, don't expect this to have any major fallout on National Signing Day. The coaching staff, knowing this was coming, had already been cutting recruiting visits in order to mitigate eventual punishment and, according to our sources, have been very up front with recruits about the investigation. All that to say, this didn't come as a surprise for any of the parties involved.

Top QB recruit Shea Patterson, who's already on campus as an early enrollee, doesn't sound too worried.

Don't hate them..respect their jealousy #herewecome

But I'm done. Everyone don't be entertained by the non-sense. #Hottytoddy

Lions don't concern themselves with the opinion of sheep. Carry on with you day and don't forget #WAOM can't nobody stop that
