If so, cool. But if he's slightly open to Orange and Blue Heaven, we should fight like hell until the very end.

We just need them to get in a small fight right before signing day, then he can make the leap.
Crazier things have happened. Maybe he can give his mom a note right before he makes the announcement so she can't change his mind, Spiller style.

If Freeze has success at Ole Miss, he'll move on to a better job. Ole Miss is not a destination program. They might be good for a year or two, but then their coach will get snatched up by a big time program.

How long does Freeze stay at Ole Miss

IMO, Ole Miss is NOT a destination school. If Freeze has success, how long will he stay there ?
Typical pattern in coaching (see Urban Myer & many others) is to build program up & then move on until you get to a destination school (assuming you advance that far).
Several articles give their opinions of 'best' college coaching jobs; Ole Miss is not listed in any I have seen.

Freeze was born in Oxford not sure he ever leaves. I also think Robert likes Ole Miss a lot more than people seem to think.

I don't think we have much of a shot at all. Like raz is saying, the kid seems to REALLY like Ole Miss. IMO, UF is not #1 in his heart or head.

From Zach A about his visit:
Good News: He had a great time in Gainesville as you would expect. It worked out that UF had three commits from his state (Antonio Riles, Marqui Hawkins, Octavius Jackson) visiting the same weekend as him. He felt comfortable around them, as he did with the other UF commits in town. A couple of them told me Nkemdiche said the Gators have moved ahead of LSU and it's now between Ole Miss and Florida.
Bad News: He flat out told people Ole Miss is where he wants to go. Next weekend is his official to Oxford, and Nkemdiche said he took the UF trip so he could have something to compare his Ole Miss visit to. The family influence of his interest in the school has been well documented, but Nkemdiche gave the impression that he wants to go there regardless of his brother and the preference of their parents.

Ole Miss does not have the facilities to compete year in and year out. Unless they do a serious facilities upgrade, Ole Miss will not be able to challenge for an SEC title on a regular basis. Freeze can be the greatest recruiter in the biz, but you can only do so much with a program like Ole Miss. If he is serious about being at Ole Miss for the long haul and trying to win real titles, he needs to recruit in a completely different way. He needs to recruit rich alumni and ask them to expand the stadium and the other facilities. Until that happens, they won't have a chance with the big boys consistently.
Hopefully, Robert understands that and it is a factor on his decision making. That and academics.

Wish he would have come to the LSU or SC game, so he could have seen the game day atmosphere difference. Oh well, here is too hoping for miracles.

What? If Freeze continues the way he is he'll leave.

Because they irritate me more than Ole Miss does. Their whole football program is a sham that we all know is based on pay for play.

Forget Nkemdiche. He was never going to be a part of this class. Let the teams out west deal with that on a yearly basis.

I know I shouldn't say this but.... I think he should join his brother. Put yourself in his shoes. Imagine being able to play with your brother (or sister) on a big time stage. (SEC venues)
Good luck, Robert Nkemdiche. (Except against us of course)

Nkemdiche quote on ESPN:
Quote:

“Really all schools are even for me right now,” Nkediche said after visiting Florida this weekend. “No school has been kicked down or anything, but I just have to see the other schools and compare them. Florida, Ole Miss and LSU are all battling for that top spot.”

No chance - didn't have one before the visit and don't have one after. No need for the suspense, just go do your thing.

I know players are limited on OV's but are the schools???
Now that would be a story line "UF refuses OV from #1 recruit to save the visit for a 3* that won't waste their time"
