Gang, remember Friday’s mailbag, and we hope you had a very Merry ReCruitmas, let’s review.

National recruiting rewind

Let’s breakdown the national classes with a silent tip of the cowboy hat to a wordless Clint Eastwood in “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.”

Wow, Ole Miss did work. How much you ask? Well, Rebels coach Hugh Freeze was answering questions about recruiting tactics and he had to say he and his staff did everything above board. Yep, if your class is so good that people are asking if you broke rules on national signing day, then you did work. Ole Miss landed the No. 1 player (Robert Nkemdiche), the No. 1 offensive tackle (Laremy Tunsil), the No. 1 wide receiver (Laquan Treadwell) and the No. 2 safety (Antonio Conner) in the country according to ESPN.
