There's yet another twist in the Lane Kiffin-Pahokee feud.

Remember that Florida Gators logo that once flanked Pahokee High School principal Ariel Alejo's e-mail address on the school's official Web site?

Well, it's suddenly disappeared and has been replaced by a Pahokee High School seal. Alejo's e-mail address is also no longer on his bio page.

Just a hunch, but maybe he got an e-mail or two from Tennessee fans who weren't real enamored with Alejo's decision to ban Kiffin and his Tennessee coaches from Pahokee school grounds.

I'm sure the e-mails were very cordial, though. Everybody plays nice when it comes to recruiting in the SEC.

Anyway, Alejo has said he wants Kiffin to come to Pahokee personally and apologize to school and community leaders for some of the insensitive (and stupid) things Kiffin said about Pahokee in the aftermath of Pahokee receiver Nu'Keese Richardson reneging on his nearly year-long commitment to Florida and switching to Tennessee on signing day.

Kiffin, in Cincinnati for a booster club speaking engagement on Wednesday, told Volquest.com that he's attempted to contact Alejo for a while now, but that Alejo has not responded. Kiffin has already apologized to Pahokee football coach Blaze Thompson, who's said he's anxious to move forward.

"Yeah, I've reached out [to Alejo], going way back and even last week," Kiffin said. "But that's all I can do, and that's all I can control. Some people's allegiances are to the college they graduated from."

Obviously, Kiffin has seen Alejo's bio, which states that he received his bachelor's degree from Florida.

Regardless of where this all leads, it doesn't sound like the Vols are going to throw up their hands and quit recruiting Pahokee. Defensive lineman Antonio Ford and receiver De'Joshua Johnson are two of at least six players at Pahokee who have scholarship offers from Tennessee.

The best thing the Vols have going for them in that area is assistant Eddie Gran, who was tremendously successful recruiting South Florida at Auburn under Tommy Tuberville.
