Hugh Freeze and the Ole Miss Rebels are quickly developing into a recruiting power and their 2015 class is poised for a third straight top-20 class.
Ole Miss is a perfect example of the quick turnaround a team can make by having success on the recruiting trail.
Hugh Freeze and his coaching staff were the stars of National Signing Day in 2013 when they signed the nation’s No. 1 player, Robert Nkemdiche and three other five-star recruits to finish with the nation’s No. 8 class.

The Rebels have gone from a 2-10 team that went winless in the SEC in Houston Nutt’s final year in 2011 to a team that beat No. 1 Alabama and were ranked as high as No. 3 and played in a New Year’s six bowl in 2014.
Ole Miss backed up their star-studded class in 2013 that also featured Laremy Tunsil, Laquon Treadwell, Tony Conner and Evan Engram with the No. 15 class in 2014 and have the No. 19 class heading into National Signing Day.

South Bound & Down
Unfortunately, the Rebs come limping into the day after four-star offensive tackle Drew Richmond decommitted after he had been committed since Sept. 9 and dropped two spots in the rankings.
Will the Rebels be able to recover on signing day and at least stay inside the top 20 classes?
As the signed letters of intent are faxed in this page will be updated throughout the day to reflect the changes to Ole Miss’ class, so stay with us at FanSided throughout signing day for the latest developments on the recruiting trail for Hugh Freeze’s club.
Update: 3:00 p.m.
Ole Miss didn’t get CeCe Jefferson but they did get four-star receiver DaMarkus Lodge to finish with the No. 17 class.
