Despite not being the world's biggest Ed Orgeron fan (he's a bit too much Ryan brothers in my opinion) I really liked this inside look at his Ole Miss tenure. I had a dead tree copy some years ago that I somehow never ended up reading a few years back but this book was almost made more interesting with the hindsight of some of his "can't miss" players. While the death of TOny Fein was of course heartbreaking a few years ago, there have been some nice stories to come out of the kids he recruited including Peria Jerry, Michael Oher & Mike Wallace. It was also nice to see the look backs on his former staff and how so many reunited under Hugh Freeze when the latter returned to Ole Miss.

A nice inside view of the recruiting "game" and how much the mentality of 17 year old kids plays into it. Overall a very good read. ( )
