LSU coach Lane Kiffin declined to discuss specific players but acknowledged recruiting those affected by the lawsuit. "They're available to recruit," Kiffin said. "Not doing so could lead to a situation where we may end up playing against them." Wright played two seasons for Kiffin at Ole Miss, catching 39 passes for 635 yards and five touchdowns last season.
