it looks like the slow wheels of NCAA justice might be working in the case of Ole Miss.

They've probably just touched the surface but at least recruits are paying attention...even the bagman can't be as effective now

only 14 recruits have signed on for 2017 - Could be the reason Georgia is doing so well...Ole Miss is Frozen in Limbo

"Coach Hugh Freeze has described himself as “numb” to the never-ending reporting on the subject, and in a letter to Rebs’ supporters, athletic director Ross Bjork wrote that “no one wants to see the end more than I do.” It’s as if all of Oxford, Mississippi, is shouting for something -- anything -- to happen in an investigation that covers ground all the way back to 2012.

But there appears to be no end in sight, and each passing day without a resolution represents punishment unaccounted, which is crippling Ole Miss’ future.

One need only look at recruiting -- the lifeblood of any program -- to see its effects. Since Freeze’s first full season recruiting in 2012, he hasn’t signed a class that finished outside the top 20, according to ESPN, with classes in 2013 and 2016 cracking the top five. But if things hold from now until signing day this Wednesday, Freeze is looking at the 37th-ranked class, which would be 12th out of 14 teams in the SEC.

As part of self-imposed sanctions, Ole Miss docked itself four scholarships in this year’s class. But that hardly accounts for the 14 total commitments, which is well below the 25-player soft cap."
