I admit it would be dirty, but it sounds like something Kiffin would be willing to do. He has obviously shown he's not here to make friends.
I know that you're just throwing it out there...so just consider this me throwing out my opinion on what you said. I don't think that has much of a chance of being the case. Urban Meyer speaks from 11:30-12:30 tomorrow, well before Jesse's announcement. If you were trying to stick it to Meyer, you would either have him announce during his press conference, or even before so that he would have to go in front of the media after you announced you weren't going to his school. Regardless, it doesn't really make a difference either way because the coaches know that they can't discuss the recruits...so it wouldn't really come up. The only reason it was moved appears to be because of scheduling by ESPN.
Though...Urban does not have the advantage of saying a big commitment is coming before Jesse announces that he goes to UF...I hate that guy.
Yah something is not adding up. I dont know who to believe! Espn, said this today:
"Under Armour All-American quarterback Jesse Scroggins to announce
ESPNU 150 Watch List signal-caller Jesse Scroggins of Lakewood, Calif., is expected to announce his Class of 2010 college decision today (July 22) between the USC Trojans, Tennessee and Florida.
Among his many other offers were Washington, Washington State, SMU, LSU, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon State, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Arizona State, California and San Diego State.
The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Scroggins passed for 2462 yards and 23 touchdowns as a junior."
No, I know what he's done and that he likes to take his shots, but this would be beyond that. This would just be manipulating a kid.
That's just bad and bad for business. Would give him the appearance of...well having less soul; media attention of him as kinda cruel rather than wordy; and future recruiting problems of parents seeing him as someone who just views their kids as puppets for his own agenda
Thing is if you look at kiffin's stuff, he takes his stabs at the schools, not the players. He respects the players and students and leaves them out of all these things...the tebow all-conference thing just showed that. He keeps his beef with the schools and keeps the kids/players out of it.

It was almost like Kiffin was trying to smooth things over with Florida a little by building up Tebow and saying such nice things about him. I don't know, maybe he was.
