Despite a rough finish that saw Hugh Freeze whiff on a string of elite defenders, Ole Miss finished the day with a magnificent recruiting haul: three five-stars and 13 (yes, THIRTEEN) four-stars. That's good enough to land them at No. 6 in the 247Sports Composite rankings -- *** spots higher than the historic 2013 class that included Robert Nkemdiche, Laremy Tunsil and Laquon Treadwell.
The five-stars early enrollees Shea Patterson and Benito Jones and the No. 1 offensive lineman in the country, Greg Little. Despite missing on blue-chippers Jeffery Simmons (five-star DE), Jonathan Kongbo (four-star DE), Mique Juarez (five-star LB) and Shyheim Carter (four-star DB), the Rebels were STILL able to land a top-10 class.
