Paul Finebaum
"A jaw-dropping book. Bruce Feldman is the John Feinstein of his generation. He has gotten inside and gained access to this complex subject better than any sportswriter in memory. Meat Market is easily among the best sports books of the new millennium. Not only was it engaging, it was at times hilarious and frightening, seeing what really happens in the bowels of recruiting. This is must-reading for any college football fan. I don't know when I have enjoyed a book more or been unable to put one down. This book absolutely blew me away." --Paul Finebaum, Mobile Register columnist and talk show host
Rece Davis
"Recruiting is the lifeblood of college football yet is the most mysterious, misunderstood aspect of the sport. Feldman opens doors and opens eyes in a revealing look at how the machine that drives college football really works. Playing the big boys on the field is one thing. For those outside the "traditional power" fraternity, Meat Market shows that recruiting against them is even tougher . . . even for a Red Bull powered recruiting maniac like Ed Orgeron." --Rece Davis, ESPN College Football studio host
Reader Reviews
Bruce Feldman, in his study of big-time college recruiting, could have chosen to follow the coaching staffs at, say, USC, or the University of Florida, or Notre Dame -- one of those programs whose name alone sways your average high school recruit. In choosing, instead, to follow the staff at Ole Miss, Feldman locates the reader where the real struggle is: at the bottom rung of a big-time conference, in the shadow of traditional SEC powers LSU and Alabama, in the hands of an energetic and unorthodox coach who, quite frankly, wouldn't have this job at any other SEC school. The frank and evenhanded account that follows is worthy of the best sports books I've ever read, among them John McPhee's Levels of the Game, Kevin Kerrane's Dollar Sign on the Muscle, and Ron Luciano's The Umpire Strikes Back. It's entertaining as hell, and informative to boot. If you want to know what it's like to sit in the war room alongside the hungriest recruiting staff in America, this is the book for you. Feldman delivers and delivers.
