Ole Miss entered this off season knowing it had a lot of work to do to reinvigorate a team short on difference makers defensively. The Rebels also knew they needed to find offensive players to replace the immense talent that will be leaving next year offensively. The overall class isn’t too bad, coming in at 31st nationally per 247Sports; however actual signing day was an enormous letdown and reinforced a lot of concerns many fans, yours included, have about the Matt Luke hire.
I entered the day giving Luke the benefit of the doubt. Sure, he makes some puzzling crunch-time decisions, doesn’t call his own plays, and didn’t make any staff changes despite having a team with no discipline on defense and a lack of recruiters at certain positions, but he is apparently known for his recruiting.
