From Marcus Perez's blog "From the Hill" on Govolsxtra.com This past week, SoFLAfootball.com reported coaches from Tennessee made a trip to Pahokee to recruit. Upon their arrival, the principal of Pahokee high school "would not allow [the coaches] in the school".The principal of Pahokee, Ariel Alejo was apparently upset at comments Kiffin made in February referencing the school during a recruiting battle for Nu'Keese Richardson:
"Someone at the school was going to screw it up. The fax machine wouldn't work, or they would have changed signatures, all the things that go on in Pahokee."
Ariel Alejo isn't simply the principal of Pahokee High School, but he is also a graduate of the University of Florida (and a Gator fan). How much of a Gator fan is he? His personal page links to Pahokee's index page through a Florida Gator icon.
In the end, antics of the Ariel Alejo only makes one wonder if Kiffin knew something the rest of us didn't about some of the folks in Pahokee.
Since this story was released, Alejo has removed his e-mail address and the Gator icon and replaced it with a Pahokee icon. Alejo's email is alejoa@palmbeach.k12.usRead the rest of this story and other Michael Perez's Blogs here.
