Tennessee has self-reported another secondary NCAA violation involving coach Lane Kiffin after Kiffin admitted to several media outlets that he called South Carolina signee Alshon Jeffery more than a month after Jeffery signed with the Gamecocks.</p>
Once a player has signed with a school, it's against National Letter of Intent guidelines for opposing coaches to contact that player.</p>
It's at least the third secondary violation Tennessee has reported involving Kiffin since he was hired on Dec. 1.</p>
In this case, Kiffin said he wasn't continuing to recruit Jeffery, but rather was trying to clear up comments made by Jeffery and his coach at Calhoun Country High, Walter Wilson. They said in an ESPN.com story that Kiffin told Jeffery the night before signing day that he would be pumping gas for the rest of his life like all the other players from the state of South Carolina if he signed with the Gamecocks.</p>
Kiffin has denied making those comments and said Jeffery has told him that he doesn't know where they came from. That's despite Wilson telling The State newspaper last month that Kiffin did indeed make the comments.</p> </div> <p class="blogComments"> </p> <p class="blogHead">
