Lane Kiffin: Sign with Gamecocks and you'll end up pumping gas

Posted Mar 14, 2009
Two days after ESPN.com reported Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin told Saints player Alshon Jeffery he would “end up pumping gas for the rest of his life” if he signed with the Gamecocks — and a day after the Volunteers’ coach denied saying that — Wilson said he has written off the episode to the pressures of recruiting.

“It’s not the first time a (college) coach made a statement like this” during recruiting, Wilson said Wednesday. “We need to move on.”

The feelings of USC’s coaching staff might be another matter. (The State)
