Ole Miss may have not closed out the 2015 class like it wanted to two weeks ago, but the Rebels' Class of 2016 is off to a great start with the makings of a potential top-5 haul. While Hugh Freeze and his staff already had six ESPN Junior 300 commitments in the fold, Ole Miss reeled in the most important big fish in the class Tuesday in No. 3-ranked quarterback Shea Patterson.

Significance of impact: The verbal of Patterson is as important as any recruit since Robert Nkemdiche and Laremy Tunsil for Ole Miss. The Rebels had serious questions about the future of the quarterback position following 2014, and getting Patterson on board is a big answer for the most important position on the field.
