re: The Liberty Bowl

We've spot recruited in Memphis with guys like Ken Hamlin and Tenarius Wright. We haven't exactly been mining the area, but there's talent there.

I grew up 30 minutes outside of Memphis and can effectively say that it has the same problem that East Arkansas does -- there are some great athletes there, but they're just not playing football.

We're also having the same problem recruiting Memphis that Tennessee does when Ole Miss is half decent. It's tough to ask a player to trek all the way across a state and into the mountains when Oxford is right there.
