Junior
Banned
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=2237825I've got to admit I am concerned. When our AD says "Resources are not an issue", he's practically saying "Go out and get the best names you can possibly get".
I am disappointed this was seen as bring all your friends for a raise. If Orgeron is not contacted at the minimum there is a problem, in my opinion. This guy has openly said he is interested in NU.
Orgeron would be an amazing get. I don't know anything about Banker, i'll admit, but I don't like what I see out of OSU's defense stats.
I want to feel comfortable and settled with this hire. But, all I feel is caution and worry all over again.
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Orgeron decided to try and poach players.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=6091340The Jackson (Miss.) Clarion-Ledger reported Saturday that Mississippi coach Ed Orgeron personally got on the phone with Tulane assistant Greg Davis Jr. last month to say that the Rebels "really needed some players" and inquired specifically about junior quarterback Lester Ricard.
Davis sent Scelfo a letter detailing his conversations with Orgeron and Ole Miss assistant Shawn Slocum. The Tulane administration notified its counterparts at Mississippi about the call, and also notified the Conference USA office, which discussed the matter with the Southeastern Conference.
Orgeron accused of recruiting violations at Tennessee.

Ed Orgeron's violent history includes domestic violence arrests.
Orgeron, hired this week to replace David Cutcliffe at Ole Miss, had a restraining order filed against him by a Dade County, Fla., woman who accused him of repeated violence 13 years ago, said Robert Keen, a supervisor with the Dade County clerk's office.
The charge of repeat violence was filed on April 10, 1991, and a restraining order was filed the next month, records show. Keen told the AP that records also show Orgeron did not violate that order.
The woman later received a permanent injunction, Keen said, and the court order prohibited him from going to her home or workplace. The injunction was terminated in July 1992, Keen said.
Orgeron also was involved in a 1992 incident in which he reportedly head-butted the manager of a nightclub in Baton Rouge, La., several newspapers reported.
