Amid the uproar of Kiffin's comments about Meyer, I have been just as concerned about his comments stating that he feared dirty tricks from the high school that Richardson came from in Florida. If you're going to recruit, especially in hostile territory, you'd better build some strong relationships with coaches and administrators. Reactions like this (from the coach) are not the way to do that:
"I'm just confused," Thompson said. "I don't know where he would get we screw up faxes or change signatures. No player here has ever been coerced by me or anyone else at the school to go to one school or the other. Pahokee is certainly not a Florida school. [UF cornerback] Janoris [Jenkins] was our first to go there in a long time. We would have been proud for [Richardson] to go to Florida but we're just
as proud he went to Tennessee, although with these statements, I'm confused why [Kiffin] would bash a school he would get a commitment from." "They've got a great kid and a great player. We've never had anyone at Tennessee and we're excited about it. This is really sad that Coach Kiffin would make these kinds of statements.
"You put your heart into working with kids and any time your professionalism or your character is questioned it takes you back and makes you concerned."
