UT has no commits from Memphis.
Ole Miss, on the other hand, has 5 commits from Memphis.
In summary, I believe that is Coach O - 5, West -1, Fulmer - ZERO.
Orgeron's comments to an Ole Miss alumni gathering in Memphis in the fall of '05 about "building a fence around Memphis" was simply coachspeak --the type of stuff you hear at any gathering of alums when a head coach comes to speak to them. But, there happened to be a Memphis reporter or two at the meeting and the comments were later reported in the Commercial Appeal and blown completely out of proportion, with Coach O getting subjected to public ridicule by UT's Fulmer and Memphis' West, as well as some media pundits.
I'll bet West and Fulmer aren't cracking any jokes now.
