6. Ole Miss Rebels
Number of Rivals 100 Players Still Chasing: 4 (2 5-Stars, 2 4-Stars)
With only one great recruiting class the past few years, Ole Miss Rebels Head Coach Hugh Freeze had most of us believing that this past year was the year for the dream season, and early on, it looked like it. But even after things fell apart toward the end, culminating with a terrible loss to TCU, Freeze is showing us on the recruiting trail that the dream season might simply be just the beginning.
However, this is a crucial week for that to happen.
Ole Miss currently has the No. 28 ranked recruiting class but could seriously improve that with a couple of big boys up front on both sides of the ball this week. The biggest prize for Ole Miss is 5-star Memphis offensive tackle Drew Richmond, but Freeze and the Rebels will have to ward off Butch Jones and Tennessee for him. Still, Ole Miss is in serious play for him, and right now most experts would pick him to sign with the Rebels, so that is great news.
Meanwhile, 5-star defensive end Cece Jefferson is a little bit more of a long shot, but Ole Miss has as much of a chance as anybody else to get him. Adding him to the list does wonders for this recruiting class, and when you factor in two more Rivals 100 players on the list, the Rebels have a lot to fight for the next two days.
