⢠In February, new Tennessee coach
Lane Kiffin kicked off a public tiff with the school by insinuating someone at Pahokee would try to sabotage his recruitment of Nu'Keese Richardson in Florida's favor. "Someone at the school was going to screw it up," Kiffin said. He also ripped the town, saying, "You take that hour drive up from South Florida, there ain't a gas station that works. Nobody's got enough money to even have shoes or a shirt on."
⢠In May, Pahokee principal Ariel Alejo banned Tennessee assistant Eddie Gran from campus until Kiffin apologized publicly to the school. Kiffin did, and Richardson is a freshman this season with the Volunteers.
