As the days go by, the frustration level for Ole Miss fans continues to grow as the Rebels are one of the few teams yet to have a commitment for the class of 2018. On Tuesday evening, that frustration temporarily went away when four-star Union (Okla.) receiver C.J. Moore listed Ole Miss among his top group.

RebelGrove was able to talk with Moore shortly after he released his top six.

Moore, who is originally from nearby Vicksburg, talked about what has the Rebels in the position they are in.

"Mississippi is home to me. Also, the offense Ole Miss runs is something that is extremely effective for someone like me. I talk to the WR Coach (Peeler) very often and we have a pretty good relationship."

Moore said that while he has a top list of schools, there is no real specific order at this time.

"I'm not really sure who leads just yet. I will know after I take some visits. Ole Miss will definitely be one of those, just not sure about an exact date yet," he said regarding a decision timetable.

The NCAA case with the Rebels does not seem to be playing a factor in Moore's decision making.

"That case has nothing to do with me. I plan on going to college to get my Sports Marketing degree and to have the chance to play at the highest level possible, things like that don't worry me at all."

Growing up in Mississippi, Moore has more knowledge than the vast majority of recruits in the Oklahoma/Texas area. He said that the most important part of this process for him is to remain humble and to keep his faith in God no matter what happens between now and next February.

Moore is 6'5 and 175 pounds and is rated as the number eleven receiver nationally by Rivals.
