Ole Miss 2017 recruiting update: JUCO pickups give Rebels a bump
The Rebels not only landed the signatures of four players on the first day of the early signing period on Wednesday, but coach Hugh Freeze also picked his new offensive and defensive coordinators, according to multiple reports.
Former Sam Houston State offensive coordinator Phil Longo will serve as Ole Miss’ new offensive coordinator, while Auburn cornerbacks coach Wesley McGriff will get his first shot as an SEC defensive coordinator for the Rebels.
McGriff’s presence should help things tremendously as the countdown to National Signing Day moves on, as the new coordinator was a huge part of Ole Miss’ highly touted 2013 recruiting class.
On the recruiting trail, the Rebels officially landed four 3-star prospects, as defensive end Markel Winters, linebacker Brenden Williams, cornerback Javien Hamilton and quarterback Jordan Ta’amu all signed national letters of intent on Wednesday.

Wesley McGriff wants to be fast, aggressive and simple at Ole Miss
Coaching an SEC West defense in 2017, however, will be a whole different animal. On a Friday conference call, McGriff described describe the new version of the LandShark defense in three words: fast, aggressive and simple.
“In order to be fast, aggressive and confident you have to be simple and that was realized before my eyes this past season with Coach Steele,” McGriff said. “It may have looked like we had multiple defenses and multiple fronts and coverages, but a lot of them were the same. We really did a tremendous job of installing concepts.
“When you take your journey throughout the profession and you see playbooks that are so thick that it will take you almost two semesters to get through them and you’re only playing 12 or 13 games in a season, it’s just entirely too much defense. Nowadays with offenses going multiple formations you can only have so many defenses you can install. So yes sir, we’re going to err on the side of being simple.”
