Lol you are somewhat right. Not about the East/West game though. These kids would love to get outta Memphis for a week and play in a bigger allstar game. In regards to going to Memphis and Ole Miss, ur right. Of course kids want to play in the SEC. Why not go 45 min down the road and play for a high quality program? UT is 6hrs away in a different time zone. UT doesn't really recruit Memphis anyways. They really don't. Every other school makes a living in Memphis besides them. Ole Mis does an excellent job promoting themselves in the area. Drive around the city and you'll see olemiss billboards everywhere. football schedules painted on city buses, etc. I haven't seen not one UT billboard or commercial in Memphis lol. Its like they don't even try. So can you blame the kids in the M for feeling a connection with ole miss? Its all they see. There's a saying around here that "Memphis is the biggest city in Mississippi." The Memphis Tiger thing is self explanatory.
