The official National Signing Day is still over a month and a half away, but Wednesday brings a brief three-day window of ‘crootin insanity. From Dec. 19-21, any prospect who’s already made up his mind can sign early with the team of his choosing.
This year’s Early Signing Period could make or break Matt Luke’s attempts to steady a program still rearing from NCAA retribution. Pure volume has Ole Miss perched at 20th in 247Sports team rankings, but Wednesday could shift that dramatically in either direction. Hit on elite prospects like five-star defensive end Nakobe Dean or four-star Raydarious Jones and Luke could have the makings of a resurgence.
