So that entire clip is just one play with several rewinds of his TD dance and his nickname is "Lebron"?

This kid belongs at USC.

Without a doubt. Don't know him personally but doesn't seem like an ND guy. Guys like this are guys that blow up on the scene or never make it on the field. Boom or bust.

First off, he's no LeBron. LeBron is a once in 2 generations talent. Mixon made a nice catch, nothing extra ordinary or anything.

So this dude makes a catch at a scrimmage and acts like he won the Super Bowl. JuJu had a video posted making a TD catch and it's business as usual for him. Love it. Hope JuJu picks ND.

The whole two guys jumping into one another after a TD is getting a little old. Here's to creativity.

I swear this guy always has a dear in the headlights look. How can ANYBODY look this guy in the face and not break down laughing. To your point I don't think he is the coach when/if Mixon gets there. If so, then he beat us and we are all heartbroken because I don't think he comes close to the PAC-12 title game this year.

Robert Woods & Marquise Lee have progressed pretty well under Kiffin, just saying.

Lee? Absolutely. But you could make a solid case that Woods got hosed last season with the way Kiffin kept forcing the ball to Lee.

Yea, there's no question Kiffin has put together a solid offense at SC. They just can't stop anyone and get into scoring battles. Reminiscent of CW years.

Joe 'Lebron" Mixon - The Opening - YouTube

This kid is gonna be a huge thorn in our side at USC IMO unfortunately

This is the 2nd time you've said this in this thread, but that's not what I'm hearing at all. Are you getting that from the 24/7 guys?

The best place to get USC info, outside of people within the program, is from their Rivals premium board. There isn't anyone better. According to them and people I know in CA, Mixon is not going to USC and has all but stated that. The reason being, he's keenly aware of everyone's depth chart. And USC signed 2 5 star RB's last year, and he has told people that while he's not afraid to compete, he realizes that there is only one ball and those guys are really talented as well, so he's looking for a place with a more favorable depth chart (another reason why he won't give ND a serious look). This has been known for months, and the USC fans I know have all but forgotten/given up on Mixon.

So at this point, Mixon is a longshot for USC, and anyone telling you otherwise is wrong, per the people that are the best at following USC recruiting. For that reason I'm not worried about him whatsoever, despite his incredible talent, b/c he won't end up at USC.

I made a nice catch once.

All I know is Barton Simmons still has him pegged for USC and thats who I look to for guys that I haven't followed their recruitment.

Yeah but even with Woods and Lee they still sucked *** last year. I started saying this last year, until Lane Kiffin heavily recruits the trenches then they can have all the 5 star receivers and running backs they want. You can't do **** if no one is blocking for you

Releasing a Top 10 today that is supposed to "shake things up."

Scott Schrader from USC 247 is actually saying that he thinks USC will be omitted and this will be the major news. He also thinks we could be a surprise team in this race and we will be included.

Well then. That'd be interesting.

Would be the perfect compliment to Hood. Reminds me of Yeldon.

Done.

Kiffin = Weis.

No doubt he has a football mind, and can recruit..but he just isnt ready to lead a program.

For the most part I agree. I do believe there is a small chance that Lame might have been humbled, and perhaps, just perhaps, might be finally learning a lesson from his past asshat behaviors. The damage is done I think at USC, but he will get another chance if they boot him. If so, it would not surprise me if he were more successful.
