I still don’t understand why Ole Miss felt they needed to run David Cutcliffe off.
Fortson also became the fourth player to quit the team since preseason practice started, and he is the eighth member of Orgeron’s first signing class to exit the Oxford campus — either for disciplinary reasons, for failing to meet academic requirements or by his own choice.
If you can’t keep a recruiting class together, how can you build a program? 8 members of his first class are gone, that has to be close to a third of the group. It sounded like some promises were made during recruiting which were quickly forgotten as soon as practice started. However, the kid could be a brat. I don’t really care either way. Ole Miss fans have to be concerned about what is going on down there. I just remember Auburn defensive end signee Alonzo Horton’s flirtation with Ole Miss and his mother’s quote about how Auburn had recruited him since he was a sophomore and then all of a sudden he was going to Ole Miss with this new coach. She mentioned “promises” but did not elaborate.
Ole Miss fans need to understand that Ole Miss’s heritage and facilities are not attractive to big time recruits. Therefore, they are going to get killed by LSU, Auburn, Alabama, and Florida in recruiting. Without talented players, it is hard to get and keep a talented coach. They had a great situation with David Cutcliffe: a good recruiter, a good coach, and a guy who ran a clean program. But the administration got caught up in the “coaching carousel” last year and now they are headed straight back into the toilet.
Breaks my heart.
Once again, I am reminded of how fortunate I am to be an Auburn fan and how lucky Auburn is to have Coach Tuberville.
