An unheralded offensive lineman from Baton Rouge, La., he arrived at Vanderbilt in 2003 to little fanfare, rated just two out of five stars by recruiting analysis firm Rivals.com. But in April, Williams left the Commodores as a…

What we learned from recruiting season
What we learned from recruiting season 10. Game on … It’s football time in Tennessee Call it a publicity stunt, call it silliness, call it a welcome to the SEC, junior, moment. Tennessee’s Lane Kiffin complained, accused and whined about Florida and head coach Urban Meyer allegedly calling wide receiver Nu’Keese Richardson over and over…

Kiffin steps into Spurrier role in UT-UF rivalry
Kiffin steps into Spurrier role in UT-UF rivalry Lane Kiffin is stupid. Lane Kiffin is an idiot. Lane Kiffin needs to rejoin his kindergarten class on the playground after sitting in timeout for 10 minutes. Those are easy conclusions to draw about the new 33-year-old-but-looks-16 coach at Tennessee who Thursday wrongly accused Florida of cheating…

Shooting stars
Shooting stars STARKVILLE — With this Mississippi State team, it was likely only a matter of when, not if, the school record for 3-pointers in a game would fall. The way Arkansas was making its treys Saturday afternoon at Humphrey Coliseum, turns out that the Bulldogs would need every last one. MSU made 16 3-pointers…

Scarbinsky on Kiffin: ‘It’s tough to go through coaching puberty in public’ … and links!
Scarbinsky on Kiffin: ‘It’s tough to go through coaching puberty in public’ … and links! Scarbinsky: UT’s Kiffin needs to grow up, keep his mouth shut You have to be at least 35 years old to be president of the United States. There’s no age limit for SEC head football coaches.

Melick: Seeing stars? Signing top-ranked players makes top-ranked college football teams
Melick: Seeing stars? Signing top-ranked players makes top-ranked college football teams Interesting, didn’t you think, that while Tennessee’s coaching staff was running its collective mouth about what a great job of recruiting they did this year, Alabama was getting its first commitment for 2010 – from a top recruit in Memphis? Especially since it happened…

Recruiting at Vanderbilt is a bit different
Recruiting at Vanderbilt is a bit different Scour the national recruiting rankings, and you won’t find Vanderbilt’s class anywhere in the Top 25. Heck, you’re lucky to find it in the Top 75, whatever that means. The Commodores won seven games last season and won a bowl game. That’s as many games as South Carolina…

Lane Kiffin can fire up fans, but better not fire up rivals
Lane Kiffin can fire up fans, but better not fire up rivals Lane Kiffin seems like a smart, eager to learn, young football coach. If I were him, I would start hanging around Pat Summitt. He could absorb volumes from her, things he needs to learn if he is to become a successful head coach.…

Commentary: Recruiting shows its ugly side
Commentary: Recruiting shows its ugly side The “soft verbal” is a creepy term in the creepy world of the college football recruiting process. It adds to the sleazy nature of the beast that opens its voracious mouth every year on national feeding, er, signing day. It is part of the annual madness of greed and…
