Meat Market.
I just finished it.
It's about a year of recruiting at Ole Miss (and about Head Coach Ed Orgeron, who helped build the late 80s/early 90s Canes and the recent USC teams).
It's oriented at least as much toward high school as it is toward college. And it includes some discussion about Jevan Snead, who got beaten out by Colt McCoy at Texas and transferred to Ole Miss, in case the Texas crowd needs an angle. And some discussion about how Pete Carroll improved the talent at USC using local guys (as well as OOS types), for the California crowd.
It's not really an Ole Miss book as much as it is a book about recruiting high school players that decided to use Ole Miss to drive the story (because of Orgeron).
I liked it a lot, and it seemed like something some of you might be interested in.
