can't say I am shocked, but I am a little surprised. It sounded like he was going to take more visits and then bam, yesterday he announces no more visits and then today he commits to USC.
Good luck to Ty at USC.
I wonder if Michigan's depth chart at RB had anything to do with it? I think Isaac would have played early at Michigan, I really think he is an elite player and prospect, but I am pretty sure USC is like paper-thin at RB.
2012 season Michigan has...
Fitz Tossaint, Junior (he may leave early if he has a big year)
Thomas Rawls, Sophomore (he is the likely starter if Toussaint leaves early)
Justice Hayes, RS Freshman (he is going to play for sure this year on ST's at least)
Stephen Hopkins, Junior (plays RB and FB, pretty much the short yardage back)
Dennis Norfleet, Freshman (according to Norfleet himself coaches told him they plan on playing him as a freshman)
Drake Johnson, Freshman (he is a definite redshirt IMO, was a pretty raw HS player)
2013 they are bringing in:
Deveon Smith
Wyatt Shallman (still not convinced he winds up at RB, he's like 250 pounds as a high school senior to be, but that is where coaches recruited him)
I think USC only has like 3-4 RB's on scholarship right now, one of which as a position switcher, and that they are losing the starter- Curtis McNeal to graduation after 2012. If Ty doesn't see the field as a freshman at USC then he just wasn't what we all thought he was, because they are literally paper thin there.
