Signing day Winners and Losers: The SEC keeps rolling, and it wasn’t just Ole Miss (Dr. Saturday)
Ole Miss isn’t a national, or even regional, power in college football.
The Rebels have been to just three bowls since 2003, and didn’t go to one in 2010 or 2011. They haven’t won a SEC championship since 1963.
Ole Miss steals the show at National Signing Day
National Signing Day is normally pretty predictable. The top college football programs reap a bountiful harvest of high school talent and the lesser-tier teams fight for the leftovers. So when Mississippi emerged with the No. 1 recruit in the country, the top-ranked offensive tackle and the highest-rated wide receiver on Wednesday, there was a Rebel yell in Oxford. Coach Hugh Freeze reeled in a star-studded class to Ole Miss, led by linebacker Robert Nkemdiche, offensive tackle Laremy Tunsell, wide receiver Laquon Treadwell and No. 3-ranked safety Antonio Conner. By most accounts, it not only was the school’s best group of recruits in history, it was among the nation’s consensus top 10 and as high as the top five in several rankings. “It’s unbelievable,” Freeze said. “The guys in this room (current players) have done such a phenomenal job in building relationships with these guys.” It was no surprise, …

Cornelius “Corn” Elder, out of Ensworth High School in Nashville Tennessee is yet another play-maker on the Buckeyes’ radar. Cornelius has only scored 10 offers thus far, with the one from Ohio State standing out as the biggest offer in my opinion.

I briefly caught up with Cornelius and he informed me mainly of his summer plans. Check back for more updates on Cornelius, as I will be keeping in-touch with him throughout the rest of his recruitment. Holds offers from Ohio State, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Miss.
