                                                                             Nkemdiche Back In Oxford

                For the second time in the past 4 months, Robert Nkemdiche, the nation’s consensus number one high school football player, was back in Oxford. This was his second time he has driven the seven hour trek from his hometown Grayson, Georgia, to come and take an unofficial visit and to see his older brother Denzel.

                The 6’5,270 pound monster roamed the sidelines of the Red and Blue game on Saturday. Not only is he easily noticed, but with Ole Miss remaining in Robert’s top 5 schools, he is already popular amongst the fans.

Many wonder how Ole Miss is even in contention with Robert’s other top schools (Alabama, LSU, Clemson, and Georgia) after last year’s disastrous 2-10 season? The answer lies in the fact that Robert’s parents have made it clear on many occations that they wish their sons would play on the same team.

                Denzel, a redshirt freshman at Ole Miss, said,”Yea, I would love to play with my little brother, we’re real close.”

                While this is true, will family ties be enough for first year coach Hugh Freeze to pull off one of the biggest recruiting upsets ever? Only time will tell.

                Robert was supposed to make his announcement on which college he will attend next year on May 18, but now he has pushed it back all the way to the Under Armour game sometime next Febuary. Until then all Ole Miss fans can do is wait.
