Scanning for attendanceCharter schools may be coming to Mississippi

The University of Mississippi instituted a new scanning system to take attendance in large class-rooms. As of the start of the new semester, 15 classes began using the scanners, and more than 4,000 scans were reported on the first day of classes.A bill is sitting before the Mississippi senate for charter schools in

Too little, too late for Ole Miss.

After being down by as many as 17 with just over 10 minutes to go in the first half, No. 16 Ole Miss (17-3, 6-1 SEC) used a 16-0 run to get back in the game and cut the lead to one, but Kentucky (14-6, 5-2 SEC) used a 14-2 run of their own to end the game, as they handed the Rebels their first loss in SEC play, 87-74, Tuesday night.

The Rebels, who played in front of a record fourth consecutive sellout crowd of 9,232, took a one-point lead into halftime despite foul trouble from senior for-wards Reginald Buckner and Murphy Holloway, but Ken-tucky jumped on Ole Miss in the second half building the lead Ole Miss could not over-come.

Kentucky’s freshman for-ward Nerlens Noel scored just two points but had the biggest impact on the game. Noel blocked 12 shots, in-cluding six in the final six minutes, while he had four fouls.

The GOP has a platform problemC O L U M N

BuzzFeed reporter An-drew Kaczynski observed that with gays possibly in the Boy Scouts, comprehensive immigration reform emerg-ing in the House and Senate and with women in combat, this week has been one of the worst weeks in Rick Santo-rum’s entire life.

As the American people continue to progress, the Republican Party insists on moving in the opposite direc-tion. Although Republicans have been offered the perfect opportunity to move toward sensible, pragmatic solutions, the party leadership is once again finding sanctuary in failed policies and radical ide-ology.

The GOP no longer has a

message that resonates with the American people. Gone are the Reagan days of poli-cy-by-anecdote – we’re not as simple-minded as Republi-cans think we are. Fox News, Pat Robertson and conserva-tive talk radio could not scare us out of electing President Barack Hussein Obama to a second term.

We, the people, won. So now Republicans are

scrambling for answers. How could they have possibly lost an election so pivotal to the future of this great nation? How could they have spent billions of dollars trying to buy an election and yet fall so short? As you might presume, in its search for answers, the GOP is only stumbling upon excuses.

House Speaker John Boehner decided to play the

victim at a recent speech in Wisconsin, saying President Obama is trying to “annihi-late” the Republican Party. Former vice presidential can-didate and Rep. Paul Ryan claimed President Obama is seeking “political conquest” of the GOP.

The only person whose modern-day assessment of the GOP contained a shred of factual analysis was that of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who had a blunt message for the GOP: stop being the stu-pid party.

I wholly agree with Gov. Jindal; if the Republicans keep talking about women, minorities and the poor with so much disdain, they might be extinct in a few elections. However, the problem for the GOP is not just stupid comments; it’s that the Re-

publicans actually believe what they’re saying. It’s not just a messaging problem; the American people have whole-heartedly rejected the GOP’s message.

In five of the last six presi-dential elections, Democrats have won the popular vote. The American people have rejected the idea that the top 1 percent of all earners should pay fewer taxes than those in the middle class. They have rejected the notion that we should continue borrowing from future generations to fi-nance two wars — one being the longest war in U.S. histo-ry; the other, a war of choice.

We, the people, have spo-ken. We believe health care is a right rather than a privi-lege — we believe a family

The beginning of 2013 marks a renewed commitment on the part of United Auto Workers (UAW) to organize Nissan’s manufacturing plant in Canton. The efforts began last summer and continue to receive mixed reactions from employees.

Mississippi is a right-to-work state, and lawmakers appear hesitant to endorse any union efforts at the plant, despite in-creasing complaints from hires and some taxpayers discon-certed at allegations of worker mistreatment, despite the reality that state-provided tax incen-tives facilitated Nissan’s arrival.

Mississippians spent over $378 million in tax revenue to court and eventually sign a deal with Nissan. This figure trans-lates into around $80,000 per employee. Additionally, the city of Canton waived the com-pany’s local taxes for 30 years.

Despite these incentives, Nis-san executives warn that at-tempts to unionize the plant may change Canton into an “uncompetitive” business en-vironment and cause the com-pany to move elsewhere.

An uncomfortable tension exists between the need to re-cruit jobs to Mississippi and the knowledge that recruiting non-union manufacturing op-portunities does little to stimu-late long-term job growth and education in the state.

Particularly when considering the global economy, the gov-ernment advocating low wages as the state’s primary advantage inevitably leads Mississippi into a downward battle with other low-wage states and nations in which tax incentives and below-average hourly rates trump edu-cation and high-tech sectors.

These jobs offer short-term solutions to a long-term prob-lem: Mississippi’s persistently low national rankings in both median income and employ-

ment opportunity.Mississippi’s right-to-work

legislation reinforces its position as a low-wage state. In short, this law makes compulsory union enrollment illegal.

From the perspective of UAW and other unions, the legislation undermines the very purpose of a union: collective bargaining in which the entire workforce participates. Mississippi legisla-tors argue that right-to-work en-courages job growth and lowers unemployment, which is some-what true and exemplified by the Canton plant.

Regardless, lawmakers and executives advocating this posi-tion must also acknowledge the problems arising at the Canton plant, which may be attribut-able to a lack of collective bar-gaining.

Some workers hired early in the plant’s history have no complaints in terms of benefits or salary, earning over $20 an hour (although few have oppor-tunities for promotion or salary increase) and prefer to stay out-side the union debate. Workers on both sides primarily fear the plant closing or relocating as a result of unionization. MPB reported Monday morning that executives showed work-ers PowerPoint presentations depicting plant closings in De-troit as a direct result of union strength. Nissan executives also argue that direct employee-em-ployer interactions remain pref-erable to third-party involve-ment, a position challenged by some workers.

Nissan employee Michael

Carter argues that stagnant wag-es, decreasing health benefits and an increase in temporary workers (who receive less pay and fewer benefits) threaten his and other workers’ job security and that management largely ignores complaints addressing these grievances. He supports a union vote and argues that Nis-san should allow UAW officials to meet with workers en masse to explain their position.

If Nissan truly believes, as they argue, that no good will come from unionization, why does the company argue against a fair hearing for the UAW? The right-to-work legislation supported by these compa-nies purports to allow work-ers a choice and denying them the opportunity to consider unionization limits this choice. Whether or not employees at Nissan choose to unionize is their decision, and the informa-tion they receive regarding that choice should come from more than one perspective. Nissan has an obvious incentive to re-duce labor costs that tradition-ally increase following worker unionization and this fact inevi-tably influences their anti-union stance.

Workers and citizens of Mis-sissippi deserve transparency from the company, particularly considering the capital given by the state’s residents to facilitate this plant’s existence.

shouldn’t go bankrupt be-cause of an illness, and an in-surance company shouldn’t deny coverage because of a pre-existing condition.

The Republicans’ message is losing — it has failed time and time again. As New York Times columnist Paul Krug-man observed, their propos-als for a makeover all involve changing the sales pitch rath-er than the product.

We’re all sick of hearing this cultish mantra that “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Actually, guns have killed over 1,300 individuals since the tragedy in New-ton. Americans believe in common sense gun control — our cities are undoubtedly safer with fewer guns on our streets.

A majority of Americans believe in marriage equal-ity and a woman’s right to choose. We the people believe that the wealthi-est Americans should pay a

higher percentage in taxes than the middle class. We believe that women should receive equal pay for equal work and that an immigrant seeking a better life on our shores should be welcomed instead of turned away.

Republicans don’t.Not only do Republicans

have a public relations prob-lem, they have a platform problem. The Republican Party thinks they are a pop-ulist party, advocating for individual liberty and small government. But in reality, the GOP is just a party with disdain and bitterness to-ward non-white, non-male, ordinary Americans. While the American people have changed, the GOP hasn’t.

If Republicans continue to be enveloped by delusion, it may ultimately lead to the party’s demise, and they will only have themselves to blame.

having students check in with cell phones, but some instruc-tors do not want cell phone usage to be part of the solu-tion due to their potential to distract.”

University IT employees Na-than Robbins and Ron Savell found the Symbol MK500, a kiosk scanner similar to price checkers in retail stores, which is essentially a small computer with a barcode reader and a network connection.

According to the univer-sity’s Tech News Blog, taking attendance via scanner is a four-step process.

First, the students scan their student IDs by placing them face-up under the scanner so that the ID barcode is read-able. The attendance scan-ner then reads the student ID information and sends it to SAP using the SAP Netweaver Gateway system. SAP then processes the records to up-date class attendance based on the location, time, class and student in near-real time. After SAP records the data, the results are made available to the instructor using the new “Manage Attendance” option within myOleMiss.

“Last fall, we worked with Dr. John Bruce on this meth-od,” Gates said. “It was pilot-ed in one of his classes, as well in Music 103 classes taught by Mr. Charlie Miles. Based on

their experiences and positive feedback, the Provost’s office made the decision to roll this out to a larger population.”

Fifteen classes began using the scanners this semester, and more than 4,000 scans were reported on the first day as students and professors be-came familiar with the system.

“This has been a very suc-cessful program, but freshmen are mostly enrolled in lower-level classes, and these tend to be the largest,” said Gates. “Taking attendance the ‘old’ way can create an administra-tive burden for instructors and can take away from critical face-to-face class time.”

Some students have been supportive of the new system.

“I think the scanner is a good thing so that students will come to class more and have better grades in the long run,” biology senior Brandy Williams said.

However, journalism senior Bentley Burns offered a differ-ent opinion.

“What’s to stop a student from just scanning their ID then leaving class and not at-tending?” he said. “I also do not think it’s right to have to keep my ID on me just to take attendance as I personally don’t use it for anything else.”

The new scanner also less-ens the burden of keeping at-tendance for professors.

“I really like the new sys-tem,” said Robin B. Street, Meek School of Journalism and New Media lecturer. “In a large class, taking roll can be time consuming. This way is much easier. However, I don’t know how it will affect atten-dance.”

programs and asked the state congress to pass more educa-tion bills. He pointed out that more than 40 states already have charter schools in their public school systems, empha-sizing that these schools will give parents in failing school districts more options.

The Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CRE-DO) at Stanford University released a report in 2009 of “a longitudinal student-level anal-ysis of charter school impacts” across 15 states and the District of Columbia. The report states

that only 17 percent of charter schools nationwide showed ac-ademic growth that was higher than the students in traditional public schools, while 37 per-cent showed slower growth and 46 percent showed similar growth.

The Parents’ Campaign, a non-profit grassroots network, said they believe that charter schools in Mississippi could avoid problems of slower growth as long as these char-ter schools are not competing with already high-performing schools, are not cyber-based and do not focus on profits.

Charter schools would open where there are opportunities to work with high-poverty stu-dents, low-performing students

in failing districts and English Language Learners, according to the Parents’ Campaign.

The House bill prohibits profit management of the schools and limits charters from operating in high-per-forming districts without the majority vote of the school board. The bill also explicitly states its purpose is to help “es-pecially those (students) with a likelihood of academic fail-ure.”

However, differences be-tween the two versions of the bill will have to be settled be-fore the bill can be signed into law.

“When a good charter bill reaches my desk, I intend to sign it,” Bryant said.

$4B BP oil spill criminal settlementNEW ORLEANS -- BP

PLC closed the book on the Justice Department’s criminal probe of its role in the Deep-water Horizon disaster and Gulf oil spill Tuesday, when a federal judge agreed to let the London-based oil giant plead guilty to manslaughter charges for the deaths of 11 rig workers and pay a record $4 billion in penalties.

What the plea deal ap-proved by U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance doesn’t resolve, though, is the federal govern-ment’s civil claims against BP. The company could pay bil-lions more for environmental damage from its 2010 spill.

Vance noted that the com-pany already has racked up more than $24 billion in spill-related expenses and has es-timated it will pay a total of $42 billion to fully resolve its liability for the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

The judge said the $4 billion criminal settlement is “just punishment” for BP, even though the company could have paid far more without going broke. In accepting the deal, Vance also cited the risk that a trial could result in a much lower fine for BP, one potentially capped by law at $8.2 million.

The criminal settlement calls for BP to pay nearly $1.3 billion in fines. The largest previous corporate criminal penalty assessed by the Justice Department was a $1.2 billion fine against drug maker Pfizer in 2009.

The plea deal also includes payments of nearly $2.4 bil-lion to the National Fish and

Wildlife Foundation and $350 million to the National Acad-emy of Sciences. The two groups will administer the money to fund Gulf restora-tion and oil spill prevention projects.

The $4 billion in total penal-ties are 160 times greater than the $25 million fine that Exx-on paid for the 1989 Valdez spill in Alaska, Vance noted.

Before she ruled, the judge heard an apology from a BP executive and emotional testi-mony from relatives of the 11 workers who died when BP’s blown-out Macondo well trig-gered an explosion on the rig and started the spill.

“I’ve heard and I truly un-derstand your feelings and the losses you suffered,” Vance told the family members.

Keith Jones, whose 28-year-old son, Gordon, died in the rig explosion, said $4 billion isn’t adequate punishment.

“It is petty cash to BP,” he told Vance. “Their stock went up after this plea deal was an-nounced.”

Billy Anderson, whose 35-year-old son, Jason, of Midfield, Texas, died in the blast, recalled the trauma of watching the disaster play out on television.

“These men suffered a hor-rendous death,” he said. “They were basically cremated alive and not at their choice.”

BP agreed in November to plead guilty to charges involv-ing the workers’ deaths and for lying to Congress about the size of the spill from its broken well, which spewed more than 200 million gallons of oil. Much of it ended up in

the Gulf and soiled the shore-lines of several states. The company could have with-drawn from the agreement if Vance had rejected it.

BP America vice president Luke Keller apologized to the relatives of the workers who died and for the spill’s envi-ronmental damage to the Gulf Coast.

“BP knows there is nothing we can say to diminish their loss,” he said. “The lives lost and those forever changed will stay with us. We are truly sorry.”

Most of the families of rig workers who were killed or injured in the explosion al-ready have settled their claims against BP, through a process separate from this plea deal.

Courtney Kemp-Robertson, whose 27-year-old husband, Roy Wyatt Kemp, of Jones-ville, La., died on the rig, said workers had referred to it as the “well from hell” before the explosion.

“By cutting corners, they gambled with the lives of 126 crew members to save a few dollars,” she told the judge be-fore turning to address Keller. “They gambled and you lost.”

A series of government in-vestigations have blamed the April 20, 2010, blowout on time-saving, cost-cutting deci-sions by BP and its partners on the drilling project.

Vance told victims’ relatives who were in court that she read their “truly gut-wrench-ing” written statements and factored their words into her decision. She also said she be-lieves BP executives should

have personally apologized to family members long before Tuesday’s hearing.

“I think BP should have done that out of basic human-ity,” she said.

BP also has separately agreed to a settlement with lawyers for Gulf Coast resi-dents and businesses who claim the spill cost them mon-ey. BP estimates the deal with private attorneys will cost the company roughly $7.8 billion.

In a court filing before the hearing, attorneys for BP and the Justice Department ar-gued that the plea agreement imposes “severe corporate punishment” and will deter BP and other deep-water drill-ing companies from allowing another disaster to occur.

The Justice Department has reached a separate settlement with rig owner Transocean Ltd. that resolves the gov-ernment’s civil and criminal claims over the Swiss-based company’s role in the disaster.

Transocean agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of violating the Clean Water Act and pay $1.4 bil-lion in civil and criminal pen-alties. U.S. District Judge Jane Triche Milazzo has scheduled a Feb. 14 hearing to decide whether to accept that crimi-nal settlement. A different judge will decide whether to accept Transocean’s civil set-tlement.

ers who died in the blast submitted written statements that were critical of BP’s deal. Vance, however, said she couldn’t get involved in plea negotiations and only could impose a sentence that adheres to the agreed-upon terms if she accepted it.

Also killed were Aaron Dale “Bubba” Burkeen, 37, of Philadelphia, Miss.; Donald Clark, 49, of Newellton, La.; Stephen Ray Curtis, 40, of Georgetown, La.; Karl Klep-pinger Jr., 38, of Natchez, Miss.; Keith Blair Manuel, 56, of Gonzales, La.; Dewey A. Revette, 48, of State Line, Miss.; Shane M. Roshto, 22, of Liberty, Miss.; and Adam Weise, 24, Yorktown, Texas.

In other criminal cases, four current or former BP employ-ees have been indicted. BP rig supervisors Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine are charged with manslaughter, accused of repeatedly disregarding abnormal high-pressure read-ings that should have been glaring indications of trouble just before the blowout.

David Rainey, BP’s former vice president of exploration for the Gulf of Mexico, was charged with withholding information from Congress about the amount of oil that was gushing from the well.

Former BP engineer Kurt Mix was charged with delet-ing text messages about the company’s spill response.

Book Sale in memory of late university professor

The American Associa-tion of University Women (AAUW) will be holding its annual Jan Hawks Memorial Book Sale on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 18-19, 2013 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Student Union.

Jan Hawks was a founding member and director of the Sarah Isom Center for Wom-en’s Studies. Hawks served as assistant professor of history and was the first director of the Isom Center, as well as the last dean of women at The University of Mississippi.

Book donations for the sale are being accepted until Feb. 15.

“Books can be left in the lobby at Kroger or at Yerby Center, or at the storage com-pany Your Extra Closet just off Highway 7 South by the fire station,” said Christina Torbert, head of continuing resources.

The AAUW has had a long partnership with Your Extra Closet because of the services the company offers.

“Not only do we accept books for them, but we also help with inventory of the books,” said Andrew Rich-ardson of Your Extra Closet.

Torbert said volunteers are needed from the Friday be-fore the sale starts until the event’s close, adding that a lot of volunteers will be needed to clean up on Feb.

19. Community service hours will also be logged for all vol-unteers.

Torbert said the money raised by the book sale is used to fund scholarships for female students from Missis-sippi who are studying to be teachers.

According to Tolbert, the scholarship is named after Sarah Robinson, who has been a member of AAUW for more than 50 years. After serving as a guidance coun-selor in Greenville, Robinson moved to Oxford where she still lives today.

The AAUW is looking for all types of books, ranging from fiction to non-fiction: novels, dramas and scholarly works as well as textbooks.

local ole Miss legends are being honored next month with a book drive and scholarships.

The Ole Miss Gamers As-sociation (OMGA) is hold-ing a “Halo 4” charity team event on Feb. 9 to raise mon-ey for the Child’s Play Char-ity.

Since 2003, Child’s Play has improved children’s time spent in hospitals by donating video games and consoles to young patients in need of an escape. The orga-nization raised over $5 mil-lion in 2012 to help children in more than 70 hospitals across the country through the “power of play.”

OMGA strives to unite game lovers and aims to in-troduce students and the surrounding community to board games, card games, miniature wargaming, video games and tabletop roleplay-ing.

“It’s definitely worth a look to people who aren’t familiar with it,” freshman OMGA member Richie Reedy said. “There aren’t any jerks, so don’t be shy.”

With “Halo 4” being the official game of the event, freshman OMGA member Matt Cheek said he believes it will be a success.

“There’s going to be a great turnout,” Cheek said. “‘Halo 4’ is really popular and the playability is a lot better than other games where people tend to get angry with each other.”

Reedy and Cheek both said they think the turnout will be diverse.

“I think all types of people will show up,” Cheek said. “People that just simply love games will be there for sure.”

Reedy said events like these help the OMGA com-munity grow.

“Because OMGA can sometimes seem to only ca-ter to tabletop role players, people might be hesitant to join,” he said. “Video games definitely bring in outsid-ers and potential new mem-bers.”

There are no requirements to join OMGA and the group meets weekly on Wednes-days from 7 p.m. until mid-night in the Union.

Entry is $3 per person or $10 for a four-person team, and all proceeds from the will go directly to Child’s Play. Registration begins at 10 a.m. the day of the event and lasts until noon.

The gaming will com-mence that afternoon and will end at 7 p.m. Donations will be accepted if your gam-ing confidence is lacking. Winners of the tournament will receive trophies and prizes.

For more information, check out the group’s Face-book page. Those interested in attending can RSVP at [email protected]. Walk-ins are wel-come and all students are encouraged to come out for a night of charitable slaying.

Ole Miss gamers unite through ‘power of play’Video game enthusiasts at ole Miss will compete in a “Halo 4” charity team event on feb. 9, and all proceeds will go to Child play’s Charity.

history with 166 career steals, which is six behind Jason Harrison for third all-time. He leads the team and ranks third in the SEC with 30 steals, including at least one steal in 16 games this season.

This season has bigger meaning than individual ac-colades for Holloway. As he enters the final 11 regular

season games and final five games in Tad Smith Colise-um, Holloway looks to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time in his Ole Miss career.

Regardless of how the sea-son finishes for Ole Miss, Holloway will finish his ca-reer as one of the most deco-rated Rebels in school his-tory.

Marshall Henderson paced the Rebels, scoring 22 and 21, respectively. Henderson knocked down nine free throws, but was just 2 of 11 from three-point range and never had a scoring spurt that he has grown accus-tomed to doing.

Holloway scored 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds and became the all-time leading rebounder in Ole Miss history, with 949.

Ole Miss shot just 32.9 percent from the field, and committed 27 fouls, while Kentucky shot 50 percent and committed 22 fouls.

The Rebels will play at Florida on Saturday. The game will be televised on ESPNU starting at 6 p.m.

Injuries plague RebelsTwo Ole Miss players

went down with an injury in the game, senior guard Nick Williams and sophomore forward Aaron Jones. It is still too early to determine the extent of the injuries, but Kennedy is not optimistic.

“Initial prognosis is not good. We’ll MRI in the morning,” Kennedy said. “Nick’s been suffering from plantar fasciitis, which is a connective tissue issue on the bottom of his foot. We

think it snapped. ... We’re pretty sure it did. That’s not as dire as it sounds. Sometimes, that can allevi-ate some of his symptoms. He could be back; we don’t know how quickly.

“(With) A.J., it’s a knee, and again the initial prog-nosis is not good, but I don’t want to jump to con-clusions prior to doing an MRI.”

Ole Miss started the sea-son with six bodies to play in the post, but with the dis-missal of Jason Carter and an injury to junior forward Demarco Cox earlier this year, Jones’ injury could be costly.

“It changes everything,” Kennedy said. “It changes everything up front. The minutes are there, some-body’s got to take them. So we’ll give those young guys an opportunity.”

The Rebels will likely look to freshmen Terry Brutus and Anthony Perez to fill those minutes in the post. Brutus has played 47 min-utes all season, and Perez 115. However, the majority of the six-foot-nine Perez’s minutes have been as a guard.

Ole Miss softball junior outfielder RT Cantillo has been a star for the Rebels in each of her first two sea-sons in Oxford. On Tuesday morning, Cantillo was one of the 12 student-athletes named to the Preseason All-SEC Team, the league office announced.

Cantillo, who earned Sec-ond Team All-SEC honors as a sophomore last season and Freshman All-SEC hon-ors two years ago, led the Rebels in batting average last season. Cantillo started 42 games as a sophomore before missing the final 12 games due to injury. Despite

the time off, Cantillo still led the Rebels in runs scored (33) in addition to batting average (.374). Cantillo was third on the team in RBI (26) and stole 13 bases in 13 attempts. Cantillo’s .560 on-base percentage would have led the SEC if she had enough at-bats to qualify.

“We’re excited for RT’s ju-nior year and happy for her to get this honor,” Ole Miss head coach Windy Thees said. “She was having a tre-mendous sophomore season before it was cut short by injury. We want to build on that so she does bigger and better things this year and

then earns All-SEC honors at the end of the season.”

The Preseason All-SEC Team consists of a minimum of 12 players. Each SEC head coach voted for four infielders, four outfielders, two pitchers, one catcher and one utility/DP player. No ties were broken.

Ole Miss opens the season with a doubleheader Feb. 7 in Honolulu against Saint Mary’s and Hawaii as a part of the Oceanic Time War-ner Cable Paradise Classic. The Rebels will face Saint Mary’s at 5 p.m. CT and tournament-host Hawaii at 10 p.m. CT.

‘Let’s get out there and shock the world.’ It’s going to be in-teresting with both of us on the outside just making plays.”

Kincade, Treadwell and Adeboyejo are just a few of the pieces of what could be a stellar recruiting class for Ole Miss. The Rebels’ recruiting class is currently ranked as high as No. 11 on Rivals.com.

Adeboyejo said he is excited about what the future could hold for Ole Miss football, and he believes this recruiting class will put the Rebels in position to do big things.

“It’s going to be really ex-citing on signing day, I know that,” he said. “There’s some really good top guys that are really interested in Ole Miss. I think we’re going to get quite a

few of them. “It’s going to be really big

for the whole program, and that’s going to be what builds the foundation, and we’ll just keep moving up from there.”

Adeboyejo also said out of all the uncommitted players that visited Ole Miss last week-end, he believes defensive end Robert Nkemdiche, the No. 1 overall player by all recruiting services, and Laremy Tunsil, the No. 1 offensive tackle in the country on all recruiting services, are the two mostly likely to ink with the Rebels come National Signing Day (Feb. 6).

“I feel real confident in them,” Adeboyejo said. “I can tell they were really having fun and really hit it off, and it felt like a family thing.”

It could be a historic class for Freeze and the Rebels, and Adeboyejo made sure he is part of it.

Holloway makes history ADEbOYEjO FEELS AT HOME AT OLE MISSSenior forward Murphy Holloway grabbed eight rebounds in an 87-74 loss to kentucky, as he enshrined his name atop the ole Miss record books as the all-time leading rebounder in school history.

wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo reserved his spot in what could be a historic recruiting class this past weekend when he made his verbal commitment to the Rebels.

Ole Miss hosted 16 official visitors this past weekend, ac-cording to Scout.com. One of those prospects, wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo, had such a good time that he went ahead and pulled the trigger to com-mit to the Rebels Friday night via Twitter.

“#HottyToddy I’m a Rebel baby,” Adeboyejo tweeted.

Adeboyejo, who is listed as a four-star prospect by Rivals.com, was once committed to Texas A&M, but the 6-foot-3, 175-pounder decommitted from the Aggies in early Janu-ary.

“I didn’t feel really needed,” he said of the decommitment.

“I felt like the coaches weren’t giving me love any more. Even when I committed, I just really felt like it wasn’t the right de-cision. I felt like I was rushing into it, so I wanted to decom-mit and pick a school and real-ly look into what was the right school for me.”

When he put himself back on the recruiting market, Ole Miss caught his eye, and it didn’t take long for Adeboyejo to feel at home in Oxford.

The Cedar Hill, Texas, native had recently taken official visits to Nebraska, Texas Tech and UCLA before heading to Ox-ford, and in just a few hours, he knew where he wanted to be.

“Honestly, I knew I was go-ing to commit to Ole Miss probably two weeks ago,” Ade-

boyejo said. “I just wanted to take those visits and make sure that’s what I really wanted to do.”

Co-defensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Wesley McGriff was the main recruiter for Adeboyejo, and the wide re-ceiver said his relationship with McGriff was a big factor in his decision.

“When I first met him, I just knew he was a really good guy,” Adeboyejo said. “Then, I met coach (Hugh) Freeze, and I had heard so many good things about him. They are just really good people, you know?”

Adeboyejo said playing in the Southeastern Conference was also a big plus for the Rebels, but there was one thing about Ole Miss that stood out above the rest of the schools.

“What I liked most is that it was a family environment,” he said. “Most of the visits that I took, it didn’t seem like it was family, it felt like it was more of a business visit. When I got (to Ole Miss), it just felt like fam-ily.”

Adeboyejo also had a few of the other Ole Miss commit-ments in his ear trying to get him to jump on board.

Quarterback Devante Kin-cade, a four-star prospect on Scout.com, is also from the Dallas area, so Adeboyejo was familiar with him. How-ever, wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, the nation’s No. 1 receiver according to ESPN, was on him from the moment he made his announcement to play for the Rebels on Jan. 17.

“That was a big deal,” Ade-boyejo said of Treadwell’s an-nouncement. “He was in my ear early on. He was telling me,

Senior forward Murphy Holloway needed just five rebounds against Kentucky to become the all-time lead-ing rebounder in Ole Miss history. He accomplished that in the second half of the Rebels’ 87-74 loss, as he finished the game with eight rebounds.

In doing so, Holloway broke Walter Actwood’s 36-year record of 945 career rebounds. Holloway, now with 949 rebounds, will have the remaining 11 regu-lar seasons, and however far the Rebels go in the postsea-son, to add to his record.

Entering the game, Hollo-way averaged 10.3 rebounds per game, which led the Southeastern Conference and ranked 13th in the na-tion. For his career, Hollo-way is averaging 8.2 boards per game.

“Murph(y) brings it every

game, he’s a walking dou-ble-double, plays with great energy,” head coach Andy Kennedy said. “He’s physi-cally strong, has a nose for the ball. That’s a great ac-complishment for him. He deserves it.”

In the fourth game this season against McNeese State, Holloway joined the 1,000 point club at Ole Miss. He became the 34th Rebel to reach that milestone, but is likely to become the first Rebel to score 1,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds in an Ole Miss uniform.

Holloway has been a dou-ble-double machine for the Rebels with nine such games this season, which leads the SEC. Holloway has also scored in double figures in 18 of 20 games this season.

He has contributed more to the team than just scoring and rebounding. Holloway also ranks fourth in school
