This and he was working on Kyle Prater at WR. Even though he hasn't done anything he was a 5 star. I also think we would've pulled Corey Lemonier. Anybody that questions him as a recruiter is crazy.

You're right. Lemonier was pretty much a lock as well. Damn.

That's not saying much. Who among the elite coaches out there haven't been considered shady by someone...? If you are successful someone is always going to question how you got there, especially among the opposing fan bases.

Kiffin was forced to take chances on borderline character and academic guys in his year UT. These are the guys who eventually washed out. They looked great on paper and everyone in America wanted them, so its not like he signed a bunch of scrubs who never panned out for lack of physical talent.

At USC, he doesn't have to take the kinds of risks he did at UT. He has a better current product to sell, and to be honest, his heart is more into it in LA than it was in Knoxville. He was never at UT for the long haul, and in retrospect, it showed. He is passionate about USC, and naturally, you are a more effective salesman when you really believe in what you are selling.

He will always bring in superb talent at USC because of the recruiting base, tradition, and appeal of the SoCal lifestyle. The risks he took on guys like NuKeese, Darren Myles, Janzen, etc will be lessened at USC.

Could not have said it better myself. I could care less if his first recruiting class at Tennessee didnt work out when trying to argue his qualifications. It's well documented he took chances on guys because of the situation he inherited. Him leaving after a year certainly magnified things. Like I've said his second class at Tennessee was going to be absolutely sick.

Then again that whole argument has nothing to do with the fact that he is an elite recruiter. Whether his guys pan out or not, he is one of the, if not the best recruiter in the country.

The players from his first class didn't leave. They were kicked off the team for various reasons. His "second" class is a different story. He was lining-up a beastly class.
