Big Recruit news

[sewaneehog]

My roommate's dad is pretty involved at Auburn and he said that their top recruit is wavering on them and is looking at Arkansas and Tennessee. He's the #1 prep school player in the nation, a 5* running back named Enrique Davis. I checked out the main rivals page (I don't subscribe...who has the money for that) and it's one of their top stories, but I couldn't see who he's looking at now. Anyone heard anything about this?!?

He has already decommitted from Auburn and is on an official visit to Ole Miss this weekend & Tennessee next weekend.  He still has 2 official visits left if he wants to take them, maybe we can get him to come in on the 2/1 weekend.

[TX HOG]

Yes, we NEED to get a visit with this kid.  He's visiting Ole Miss?  Dang. 

[RazorDADDY]

Go get him Bobby P!!!!

[Torqued pork]

I read that he's not too crazy about Auburn's new offense.(too much passing and too little running)

I will  if Nutt lucks into Davis.

I hope your right.  Imagine if we stole Davis and C. Henderson from Tubb.

[Zen_Hog]

Nutt is going to sell the offense to Davis and get him.

Since he's a Prep player does anybody know how many years he would get to play?

[Zen_Hog]

I'm guessing he has at least 3 years since he's part of the 07 class.

[sewaneehog]

I think he gets four years but can't redshirt (unless he gets hurt)

[Wingo Hog]

I think he gets four years but can't redshirt (unless he gets hurt)

Correct. Players coming from prep schools get 4 years. No reshirt year. Freddie Fairchild was a prep schooler. just an example.

[Coach Obvious]

Nutt is going to sell the offense to Davis and get him.

Probably so. His offense is very attractive to RB's wanting numbers. Not very good for championships though, or balance. No National Championships in the future for Ole Miss, I don't think.

[JIHawg]

Ole Ms or Tn will get him.  We have three good RB's on the radar.  Dean is every bit as good as he is.

[jim hog]

Come on 4 and 5 stars.

[The real Hogules]

I read the Scout story and it talks about Ole Miss, Tennessee, Florida State, & Maryland.

I saw no mention of Arkansas or Bobby Petrino anywhere.

Additionally, Davis is rated a four star TB (the same as A.Dean) and decommitted from Auburn due to the "spread offense" that AU will utilize starting this Fall.

[PigPusher]

Does not look like we are written on his clipboard as even a thought.

[chuckrollz]

i do subscribe to rivals, and ole miss, florida state, and tennesse are his top 3 choices and where he will take his final 3 visits

that doesn't make sense that prep schoolers can't redshirt.  fairchild was a redshirt sophomore this year because of a knee injury last year

[kclvr]

He is good.  The number 3 ranked prep player, #1 is Benton a Wide out who is in Baton Rouge and in school.  # 2 is a wide out BD got at NC. Only 3 - 5 stars in prep school this year. They get 4 years to play.

Medical RS?

Didn't Crowell RS last year.  He was from Prep school.

Yes a medical redshirt. what im saying is you cant come in and redshirt because your not phsycially ready to play.

[AnthroHog]

I wonder if we could reel him in along with Curtis, Dean and Johnson?  Anyone heard anything else on him looking at Arkansas besides sewaneehog?

Here's his profile for those interested.

Didn't Fairchild get a medical redshirt though?

[tendu]

He is considering Ole Miss, Florida State, Tennessee and Maryland

Key word....injury

[VenturaHog]

I know theres probably no truth to this rumor but it would be sweet.

[blu]

Pretty sure you still have 5 years to play 4 after you get out of prep school. A player has the same eligibility coming out of prep as they do HS.

[go hogues]

How many RB recruits does Ole Miss have now??

[12247]

While many of us are worrying about the best WR's, QB's and RB's and wanting every 4 and 5 star of each nationwide, someone, somewhere needs to hustle up a lineman or 2 for both sides of the ball, along with 2 or 3 great CB's.  Unless we plan to win most games 65-64, we are setting up the team to look much like Tulsa did this past year.  I believe we have committed or onsite, 11 WR's, 6 QB's, and at least 5 RB's.  We do not have a shut down CB, a big time DL, DE, or LB.  I certainly hope we are able to fill in the defense in the next 2 weeks.  Two or 3 OL folks would be very nice too.  Does anyone know how many players we lost off last years starting 22 other than D-mac and Felix.  We will almost totally be dependent on current or redshirt linemen on both sides of the ball.

[jasonf]

5 to play 4 - prep schools = 13th grade.

Add in 25-yard shank by the walk-on punter and we're good.

Nutt is going to sell the offense to Davis and get him.

Davis was interviewed by Rivals and said his weekend visit with Ole Miss was a perfect 10.  What I want to know is where was this relentless recruiting effort while he was working in his, "Dream Job," for the past 10 years??

He lacked a huge incentive called "Revenge"!

[The Realist]

Davis is still going to visit Tennessee and Oregon.  Both of those schools can beat Ole Miss.

Remember Nutt only responds when he feels the crack of the whip.  It takes extreme circumstances to get Nutts attention and light a fire under his azz.

The motivation of rubbing it in Arkansas fans faces, and the newness of his new gig, is currently motivating Nutt.

Don't worry, the new will wear off very soon, then Nutt will revert back to the same ole Nutt we all grew to despise. 

Ole Miss's problem now.

[NEA Boss Hog]

[NEA Boss Hog]

Chris Baker went to prep school and he had a redshirt year at Arkansas, so they have 4 years of eligibility and they can redshirt.
