SEC coaches love to have all the wrong moves when it comes to recruiting hype videos.
LSU Tigers head coach Brian Kelly had stood alone atop the SEC awful dancing mountain top with his wannabe John Travolta move from “Pulp Fiction” with tight end Danny Lewis Jr.
The recruit that Brian Kelly danced with, Danny Lewis, announces he is going to Alabama. Never Forget 😂😂

Of course as the tweet hilariously points out, Lewis Jr. eventually chose the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin took the easy layup (yes wrong sport pun alert) and roasted Kelly while poking fun at fellow SEC head coach Eliah Drinkwitz of the Missouri Tigers. Drinkwitz tries his best 1980s hair-rock guitar move for the hype video of landing three-star offensive lineman Henry Fenuku.
Just when I thought BK’s couldn’t be beat …….. 🤦♂️ @CoachDrinkwitz 🤘 https://t.co/3NJw8kq7YZ

While a three-star recruit might not seem to warrant his own hype video, Fenuku also had offers from Georgia, Florida, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Oregon, and Florida State.
So possibly Kiffin was a little hurt as well.
You can find the full hype video below, with the Mizzou HC busting out his Slash solo at about the 27-second mark.

Kiffin avoids Mizzou, at least in the regular season. Kelly might have the last laugh though when Kiffin’s Rebels travel to Death Valley to take on LSU on Oct. 12.
Let’s hope Kelly goes full Travolta for the handshake if LSU wins.
