Ole Miss has as many as Tennessee does.

For what it's worth, my brother in law coaches in Nashville and has told me that under Fulmer, UT recruited home grown players poorly or not at all. They seemed to be focused on players from the rest of the country for some odd reason. I don't know who Kiffin has got recruiting, but he seems to be following the same plan.

The talent pool in Tennessee is pretty weak. Of course Ole Miss has snagged Patrick Willis, Greg Hardy, and Michael Oher all out of Tennessee in the past couple of years. Ole Miss, an hour away from Memphis is the closest SEC school to that area.

I don't know about that, but there are good players there that get snagged by other schools. Hell, we got John Vaughn, Jake Slaughter, King Dunlap and a couple of others from one school.

You're right, Orangepeel, too bad there isn't an IQ exam Gumps have to pass before they can reproduce.

I think that was a popular idea back in WWII Germany, but it didn't really pan out. If the way you write malformed sentences is any indication, you'd probably be one of the unlucky guys left out of the breeding pool.
