Caleb Cunningham headlines best high school recruiting class of Lane Kiffin era

The College Football Playoff committee all but assured Tuesday night Ole Miss is going to be left out of the 12-team field following championship weekend.

“It’s a lot easier when you just have to get up for two games a year,” fifth-year Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said.

The No. 13-ranked Rebels have no one to blame but themselves. 

Ole Miss was four plays away from 12-0. At least South Carolina was ranked behind the Rebels and isn’t making it in either. Head-to-head still matters at least a little. Clemson is the Gamecocks’ best win. They lost to both Ole Miss and Alabama. Of course they’re out.

Ole Miss was never going to win a 9-3 argument with Alabama and a worse strength of schedule. 

At least the Rebels licked their wounds with a Wednesday spent signing the best high school recruiting class in Kiffin’s five Ole Miss seasons.

Good thing, too. The wide receiver room is now further depleted following the departure of Juice Wells.

Ole Miss signed, among others, five-star Caleb Cunningham and four-star Winston Watkins. Cunningham is the nation’s No. 3 overall wide receiver, according to On3, as well as the No. 1 player in Mississippi.

Ole Miss will be active at the position in the portal, too.
