Lane Kiffin Recruited Silas Redd in "True SC Fashion"

Here’s what Kiffin told Colin Cowherd.

"“I picked up the phone, in true SC fashion and called one of our great donors Ted Jones at Fletcher Jones Mercedes and I called him when we were at the SoHo House for the PAC-12 dinner and he said, ‘Let me guess, you’re calling about Silas. Where y’at?'” “So he sent his big ole Mercedes jet which was in Vegas to pick us up in LA. We got done with the PAC-12 meetings. We flew to White Plains, NY. It was myself, my dad, our running backs coach, our o-line coach.” “We called Coach Orgeron. He was in Louisiana. He got on a plane. Our defensive backs coach was in Nebraska. He got on a plane."

The reason USC took six coaches? They couldn’t take eight. One coach was on vacation in Mexico. Kiffin was told he could not extract wide receivers coach Tee Martin from his cruise ship via helicopter. They game-planned at a swank Dunkin Donuts in Norwalk, CT and delivered a three and a half hour presentation.
