MONDAYSouth Carolina wide receiver Alshon Jeffery had seven catches for 127 yards and two touchdowns last weekend against Alabama.
What's worse? That he committed to USC originally or that Lane Kiffin told Jeffrey he would pump gas for a living if he played for the Gamecocks?
FROM DEADSPIN:
Take his Signing Day conversation with Alshon Jeffrey, a highly-prized wide receiver from South Carolina, who chose his home state Gamecocks after a long battle involving Southern California and the Vols.
Coaches from all three schools were working Jeffery's phone lines well into the early morning hours trying to woo a last minute commitment, when things suddenly took a turn for the ugly.
But when it was obvious that Jeffrey wasn't going to Tennessee, Kiffin took off the gloves.
According to Jeffrey and Wilson, Kiffin told Jeffrey that if he chose the Gamecocks, he would end up pumping gas for the rest of his life like all the other players from that state who had gone to South Carolina.
