It is not surprising that many top recruits are keen on SEC programs. I attribute this to three reasons:

1. Most of the top players in the nation come from SEC country, Texas and California. They grew up revering SEC football, as well as Texas and USC football. In fact, the local culture is as such that it is considered an act of treason to leave the south for many of those athletes. Some kids are literally disowned by their community for defecting to the North.


SEC programs are located in warmer weather, which is obviously appealing for a sport played outdoors.
SEC programs have more lenient academic eligibility and standards that ACC, Big 10 or Pac 10 programs.


In short, there is nothing suspicious about Ole Miss’ appeal.
