Re: Yahoo Sources: NCAA to formally charge Mississippi with rules violations
What does this have to do with Mississippi?
Good question. Actually, very little. Jerrell Powe, who ended up at Ole Miss, committed somewhere else before he flipped to LSU, before he flipped to his "dream school" Ole Miss. If the time line is correct, Powe already had a passing ACT score before David Saunders left Millsaps and landed on Ed Orgeron's staff at Ole Miss. Not certain Saunders would have been recruiting the #1 defensive tackle in the country to go to Millsaps at the time Powe supposedly passed the ACT. And if he was, the chances of him getting into Millsaps would have been slim and none. Conventional wisdom is that "someone" paid to get Powe through the ACT. That "someone" most likely was NOT Ole Miss.
Powe's mentor was a real estate appraiser. The mentor's brother was a Forestry consultant in Atlanta. The consultant's son went to school at Auburn---Forestry. Isn't that what Jimmy Rane does? Powe committed to Auburn during the Army All American game. Powe used this guy as an attorney:

I wonder how he got hooked up with a lawyer in Montgomery?

Might be that a little digging will reveal where the Wayne County War Eagles got their name and how connected a former coach at Wayne County (ex of Cottonwood, AL) is to Barry Moore, Mike Hubbard, Milton McGreggor, Bill Baxley, etc...
