'14 CA ATH John (Juju) Smith (USC Signee)

[Irish YJ]

Re watched his tape. Excellent safety prospect. I still prefer him as a WR though.

But is he fast?

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

He did say that Michigan is recruiting him both ways but everyone else is recruiting him as a safety

 

[ant80]

Firmly in the mix for him. Loves the academics and grad rate. Wants to major in the medical field and NDs pre-med program is nationally known.

Planning on visiting for the USC game.

Being recruited at safety.

Other schools standing out are tOSU, scUM, SCum, UCLA, and UW. Could go the whole way to the end of the college season before he makes a decision. Sorry Sherm, but we are in trouble if he's next.

Forgive my ignorance, but what school is that? USC?

 

[Emcee77]

Forgive my ignorance, but what school is that? USC?

Yeah

 

[IHateMarkMay]

But is he fast?

The real question is... Is he quicker than fast?

Not surprising. Michigan always goes both ways.

 

[beryirish]

Not surprising. Michigan always takes it both ways.

Not surprising. Michigan always takes it up the butt.

He is set for an official visit USC weekend. As noted by GB in Tyler's thread they will be coming at the same time and with more of the Cali players we are recruiting. Just in case anybody has doubts about the strategy, TJ also said that this is what the staff wants and the players.

"Right now I have Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Washington, UCLA and USC, those are my top schools right there, Smith said.

per rivals

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

So I assume that means its in that order.

 

[GBdomer]

Not top order, just a list

 

[koonja]

So I assume that means its in that order.

From what GB said, there's no reason to think that.

 

[GBdomer]

After reading that article I honestly think UCLA leads

SMDH

 

[ThePiombino]

SMDH

Outside of us (obviously) and Washington, beats every other school on that list.

If there is a traditional power that has been more stagnant over the last decade than UCLA I can't think of them. But USC starts to suck and they immediately get on the blue-chip short list because they're in LA.

UCLA is a traditional power?

 

[greyhammer90]

UCLA is a traditional power?

They have tradition of having a good program yes. Maybe "power" was overstating it but historically they're solid.

 

[calvegas04]

Enemy of our Enemy is our friend

 

[Irishnuke]

If it was only UCLA vs. SC then yes.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Set an OV to Michigan for the ND game.

Elmer style. Nice.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Elmer style. Nice.

Hopefully the game won't p!ss him off then.

 

[STLDomer]

Not in his top 6

Wants to play WR

Still set to visit ND

 

[GBdomer]

We are already getting an official so it doesn't matter, not like we just pluck kids out of Cal Poly either. UCLA USC battle imo

 

[Irishnuke]

Well F

 

[koonja]

Unless we're #1, his order is irrelevant. One visit and we can jump all of the way to the top, or he can determine ND is not for him.

 

[CanadalovesND]

Visits can change everything.

Max Redfield, Tarean Folston, Greg Bryant.

 

[Irish_irish]

Not in his top 6

Wants to play WR

Still set to visit ND

Where did you see that? I watched an interview with him on scout just yesterday and ND was one of 6 standouts that he mentioned. Would be strange if that changed already considering he's already scheduled to visit.
