Go ahead and laugh, but this time,\u00a0Lane Kiffin<\/b>\u00a0may have outfoxed us.<\/p>\n
Kiffin\u2019s scholarship offer to a 13-year-old seventh grader has turned into a national joke, right down to the obligatory\u00a0Chris Hansen<\/b>\/Dateline<\/i>\u00a0NBC references. It\u2019s positively hilarious that Kiffin \u2014 whose just-spell-my-name-right style of attention-grabbing recruiting has earned him a reputation bigger than his 7-6 record as a college head coach \u2014 would promise a scholarship in the class of 2015 to a player who might not shave for three more years.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll admit it. I chuckled, too. Until I searched for\u00a0David Sills<\/b>\u00a0on YouTube. Then everything made sense.<\/p>\n
The description of\u00a0the clip<\/a>\u00a0touts the Bear, Del., quarterback prodigy as \u201cthe best young phenom since\u00a0Tiger Woods<\/b>.\u201d (Get your minds out of the gutter, sickos.) The clip itself is a 117-second commercial for DreamMaker, the newest project for quarterback guru\u00a0Steve Clarkson<\/b>, whose past students include\u00a0Matt Leinart<\/b>,\u00a0Jimmy Clausen<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Matt Barkley<\/b>.<\/p>\n
