A group that looks destined for another top-10 finish is proving that Hugh Freeze's 2013 class was no fluke.
Yes, Hugh Freeze's 2013 crootin class was incredible (it's probably going to have three first-round picks in this year's NFL Draft), but most folks likely viewed it as a one-time deal. That class, the thought went, was built by #TheNetwork a perfect storm of happenstance (the prevailing winds of which were blown by having the brother of the No. 1 prospect in the country already on campus), more so than some sustained climactic recruiting shift. It was unlikely, at best, that Freeze was gonna out-punch the SEC big boys to haul in another top 10 class in Oxford.
