KIFFYKINS PEES IN THE KIDDIE POOL

Stay connected for news and updates

Kiffykins strikes again, this time back in South Florida, where Tennessee is recruiting Florida commit Matt Elam. Elam will be a senior, says he is fully committed to Florida, and that nothing will change that--all fine and dandy by us. It's not like Tennessee is going gangbusters after someone who just signed a letter of intent: he's going to be a senior, and the handshake competition remains on and running even with commits, who are free to keep everyone waiting until the final tip of a cap onto the head at signing day.

The article's noteworthy for further evidence of the contagion spread by pissing off a high school coach. Those aren't our words: they're from another coach entirely, charcoal-mellowed Dwyer High coach Jack Daniels, who thinks Tennessee's treatment of Pahokee coach Blaze Thompson was "dishonest."

“That’s a great community out there so it kind of pissed me off, too,” Daniels said.

“I thought the way Tennessee handled it was … you know. I was shocked when I heard it. I don’t understand how they could do that to a high school coach, especially someone so close to Nu’Keese. I think they were dishonest with Blaze and I’m sure that pissed off a lot of coaches.

“But if I was Blaze, I don’t know if they walked into my school if I would talk to them. I’d send somebody else up to talk.”

Kiffin has apologized to Thompson, but the point remains: you pee in the kiddie pool of recruiting, and everyone takes the hit. (Pre-emptive comments: BUT HURR MEYER LIAR WAAAH. Yes, he's our coach, and by definition completely innocent of everything ever. Welcome back to rivalry at its finest, sterno-huffing hilltards!)
