Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin is never far from the headlines, even when it’s unintentional. So it goes with this story about his last-minute pitch to South Carolina receiver Alshon Jeffery. Deliberately holed up in a hotel on the eve of signing day by his coach, Jeffrey listened to desperate pitches from South Carolina, Tennessee and Southern California.
The one-time Southern Cal commit ultimately chose South Carolina, but not before Kiffin pledged “that if he chose the Gamecocks, he would end up pumping gas for the rest of his life like all the other players from that state who had gone to South Carolina.” And to that, Jeffery seems to have taken serious offense.
