One view is that Tisdale was a hot name early, getting attention from all over. Then he got passed on his own HS depth chart. In the end, Ole Miss was one of the best offers remaining
 
Joe,

Is Tisdale related to the late Wayman Tisdale? If so, that means there is trouble in "paradise".

(1)Honest evaluation tells you that your best hope is 3rd in conference, if you are not from Mississippi it is more or less mandatory to fly there (2) Unless you are an Ole Miss grad, very old or just an extremely hard core football fan... it has no winning tradition... (3)The one or two times that I was in Mississippi, I seen tons of magazine articles and information on the tide, but very little on Mississippi schools. (4) Although I know they exist...I have yet to meet the lifelong Ole Miss fan. Yet this school still manages to lure several high ranking Texas kids every year.

this would also be under my topic of recruiting North Texas, but i'm surprised how many of my kids' friends (no sports) have gone to Ole Miss, Auburn, and Alabama from Dallas high schools.

Same is true of the children of doctors/lawyers/judges/engineers/the energy sector in SE Texas, especially including Beaumont/Houston. These schools (Ole Miss in particular) made a long term plan to target these kids for preferred admission in the hope/expectation they would become future donors. It is the application of analytics and "Moneyball" principles to college admissions.
 
Per TFB:

We are really starting to see Tom Herman’s initial strategy of trying to get the best in the country unfold. He started off his first year being competitive on the field and winning in-state recruiting battles. Now, they’re starting to fight and win some out of state battles. If two or three of those competitive games go the other way and Herman is recruiting from a 8-9 win season, the momentum at a place like Texas becomes hard to stop. (Super K)​

I don't know what's so insightful about that. I said the same thing more times than I can count at the end of the season and we would have won those 8-9 games if it hadn't been for some of the dumbest play calling in the history of college football.
