Am I missing something? The area in question is... Memphis... as in Memphis, Tennessee? Since when did that become some hotbed for talent that didn't play basketball? There isn't a single player from Memphis even in the Rivals 100. There's 4 in the Rivals 250... WVU got #110 Barry Brunetti (he didn't even have an offer from UT or Bama), LSU got #148 Justin Maclin, #230 O.C. Brown is uncommitted, and Bama got #235 Keiwone Malone.

It hardly looks like Saban and Bama are raping and pillaging Memphis; and it's far from some kind of mecca for football recruiting in the first place. This guy acts like he's the appointed protector of the Fort Knox of college football prospects. Is he going to level the same charges at WVU, LSU, and whoever ends up with Brown, if UT doesn't get him? After all, all those teams got guys higher ranked than Bama's commit.

Oh, brother.
