I'm on Neal McCready's board. The two names tossed out as bringing this issue up were LSU and Alabama. I tend to doubt that though. Those schools should have paid close enough to the klan rally to know there were very few klan members present and were out numbered at least 20-1 by counter-demonstrators. Plus one of the klan members was wearing an Auburn hat before he dressed up. Simply showing the kid the video of the demonstration would cause the tactic to backfire on the coach attempting to recruit him. It had to have been done by an assistant at a smaller school or from a school not in the area that thought simply mentioning "Ole Miss" and "klan" in the same sentence would drive the kid away.
