Lane Kiffin offer 9 year old

[B1GEast]

A 9-year-old youth football player gets a college scholarship offer? Yep, you bet

Very proactive! By the time the kid reaches high school, that sleazebag Kiffen should've been banned by the NCAA and coaching h.s.

From Recruiting Forum:
Illinois One Ups Hawaii and FAU and offers 4th grader from Cali

This is before FAU one upped Illinois w/ the last one.

Probably PR. Articles are written about those teams. Get in the news. get seen.

University of Hawaii offered a scholarship to a kid who plays on two teams (and only lost 1 game). He is 8. Will Lane K offer a scholarship to a fetus soon?

What's ridiculous is not that he offered a kid so young, it's how worthless the offer really is. There is NO way Kiffin will be at FAU in four years, let alone 8. He will either crash and burn and get fired or knock it out of the park and leave the team mid season in year 2 or 3. I don't see a path where Kiffin does well enough to keep his job AND stays put for more than 3 years.

I actually think Kiffin is going to do well, which means he will be gone pretty quickly.

No, what's ridiculous is anyone offering a kid a scholarship when the offer is meaningless.

I do wonder whether the kid could hold him to the offer if it turns out he's a dud.

That's one reason why it's so stupid. Letting everyone know you've struck gold before you can make a binding claim, is just plain stupid.

The most disgusting part about this is that Kiffen is fully confident he will be well beyond the school who's scholarship was just offered once the kid is of recruiting age.

I wasn't the only one to open this thread with a bit of trepidation.

Really wanted to make sure this was about a football player.

I clicked here half thinking he might have drunkenly hit on a 9yo while guest judging some sort of pre-teen pageant in Boca.

Mods should change the title of this thread to "Lane Kiffin is a 9 year old". You have to give him credit, though, for finally realizing he should focus on recruiting kids with the exact same mentality level that he has.

I've seen more news about FAU this offseason than any other non-P5 team. Before this year, I didn't know the difference between FIU and FAU.

And for those that think it is "disgusting", I'd welcome you to retrace your reactions:

Randy Edsall pulls commit's UConn football scholarship 2 weeks before signing day

The media is so interesting how certain things become a story and others don't.

I'm not sure I understand the point/comparison you are trying to make?
